Thrift Addiciton Thursday - Homegoods, Goodwill and Dollar Tree!

Hi All!

Welcome to this week's THRIFT ADDICITON THURSDAY!

Just a few bargains to show you today since I'm totally overextended on my budget for the month and really shouldn't be buying any more until March!  UGH!  haha!

I did find a few little beauties that I would love to share this week, though!  Some of these are things that may be at local stores in your area!

First up, on the way home from dropping my kids off at one of their co-op classes (a class with other homeschooler kids)  I go right by my local HomeGoods!   I CAN'T just drive by and not go in and check out what they have each week.  Haha! 

On my most recent trip, I got a couple of goodies!   I'm a HUGE fan of blue and white toile.  When I saw these Johnson Brothers' bowls for just $2.99 each, I knew they had to be mine!


I just LOVE the pattern on these...so beautiful!



 I bought 4 of them, and I'm so happy I found them! 


Speaking of great blue and white toile things..... 

LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND AT THE DOLLAR TREE?!?!  

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these adorable things!


I had gone into Dollar Tree looking for something else, but when I saw these I couldn't help myself.  

At Goodwill this week, I found this GORGEOUS Soup Tureen with no blemishes or chips for just $10. 



I'm not sure how much they usually cost, but I have a feeling they're usually a bit more than $10!    I've seen them on some gorgeous tables and have wanted one for a while now, but hadn't seen one until this last trip!  I think it's beautiful. 



Sorry, the lighting is not great, but this beauty is a lovely ivory color, and the detailing is very pretty too...not too fancy, but not plain by any means!  It's also a really nice size so I can put a family soup in here and it will look great and hold enough soup for a larger gathering!  =D  You will definitely see this in a future tablescape...more likely sooner than later!

Thanks so much for joining me for this week's THRIFT ADDICTION THURSDAY!  Hope you have a great week!

    WOW, WOW...such really great finds! I love all the blue and white and of course, that gorgeous white tureen for 10 bucks!!! I have some great finds too and they were quite inexpensive too, but I didn't think of putting prices on them..but the High Tea dome everyone liked was $4 and rectangular dome and platter was $6 on sale, than everything was on sale, but I bought them in two different places. Big hugs,
    FABBY

    I am still looking for the black and white Johnson Brothers accent plates that Home Goods had at the same time as the blue and white bowls. I went to four different stores, but could only scrounge up six -- I would have preferred to have eight. Don't you just love the Johnson Brothers stuff? Great finds!

      Oh, man! I sure wish I could have found the black and white ones too. I really do love the Johnson Brothers dishes! They are just gorgeous and I would have LOVED to see them in Black and white! I know what you mean, 10 would have been my ideal for those bowls but they only had 5 and I was already over my budget, so I had to settle for 4...haha. Thanks so much for stopping by and for commenting! =D

      Thank you! I do have to say, Dollar Tree has really been impressing me lately! I've gotten several cute placemats, runners, plates and dishes, as well as cute candleholders and lots of flowers! It's very dangerous that they have a great one so close to my house...haha!
