Thrift-a-long

Oh it has been hot here - so hot that even intrepid op shoppers like myself have been clinging to the comfort of air-conditioned rooms. I did venture out a bit when we had a cooler day (only 36 degrees!) and I did indeed find some treasures ....


A whole assortment of goodies this week ..


brand new linen tea towels. I don't much like doing the dishes but lovely linen makes the job easier.


A couple of vintage glasses for a friend who has a project using them on the go and a pewter mug - raw material waiting for me to reclaim it!


Watches for dismantling and converting into locket-type jewellery.



 EPNS tray - more material for future projects.


An assortment of sweet earrings and charms.



These spoons are so pretty and appealing that I had to bring them home ... I also found an extra shelf for my oven which will be a blessing the next time the family is home for pizza. Oh and a pretty tin to cut up. Hope you had fun in the thrift stores this week. Hit the linky tool below and share your finds - would love to see 'em!

Woo! I've actually managed to join in this time Sue!
Love all your metal goodies! I have a stack of watches and their parts and all I've managed to make so far is a wooden bird house with a watch casing on the front, but it did have a collage in it!

Enjoy your weekend. ♥
