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!

THRIFT ADDICTION THURSDAY - Goodwill Goodies!

Hi All!   Happy Valentine's Day and welcome to another

 

THRIFT ADDICTION THURSDAY!

Ok, well, It's happened.  Yet another sign that I am truly a dish and decor addict now.   

Last night I had my first dream all about DISHES!!!  

When I'M dreaming of dishes, that is DEFINITELY a sign..

So, to feeeeed that addiction, I have to be thrifty!  I've been put on a "dish budget" so I don't go too overboard!  That means I really need to be choosy about what I buy and it has to be a good bargain or a great investment.  

 

So here are some thrifty bargains I was able to snag recently!

 

I was in Goodwill not too long ago (on one of my MANY frequent trips) and I came across these cute gray woven placemats.   There was a set of 10, and the top one looked a little dingy so I almost passed them by, but I decided to stop and look through one.  The rest looked great and when I saw that the entire set of 10 was only $2.50, I HAD to get them. 

I have been wanting to do a pink and gray tablescape in the future, and I thought these might add some nice texture to the table!  


Next up are THESE cute reversible floral placemats (I love reversible placemats, because you get two totally different looks for them!  

At $2 for 4 of them, that was a great price, considering they were in great condition and I loved the sage green with the flowers.

Next up I found this ADORABLE tea set at Goodwill...on a separate trip.  I just thought this set was so cute, and a great addition to my growing sage green collection.  



I love the small purple flowers on them and the way it looks with the light beige and sage plaid design at the bottom of the cup.  I can't wait to use these!  They were in perfect condition.  $5 for the teapot with cup and $2 each for the creamer pitcher and sugar bowl!

 

I also found this cute flip-flop tray for $2.  

I can totally see this for a summery tablescape...

I'll most likely use it with THIS ONE....found a few weeks ago at another Goodwill visit!! 







Last but not least, I just ADORED these frilly rose plates!  I bought 6 of the salad plates, 2 of the dessert plates and 2 of the larger dinner plates.  I'm hoping to use the larger dinner plate and the smaller dessert plate and make a couple of two-tier trays to display some small muffins or something for an upcoming ladies tea I'm planning to host with some other homeschool moms.

Well, that's it for today.  

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day! I hope you have some fun plans to celebrate those you love! I have a "date" day with my hubby today and tonight I'm making a special Holiday Family Dinner, complete with a fancy tablescape and one of our whole family's new favorite meals...CROCK POT LASAGNA (recipe here)  I will be putting up some special Valentine Tablescape pics later today.

Hope to see you tomorrow for my FIVE FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY!   I have some awesome sites with some amazing stuff I want to share with you. I hope you'll enjoy!
