Thrifted Easter Finds

Hi all!

If you've been following my blog, you already know that I rarely make it through a week without visiting a thrift store or two. I have quite a nice collection of stuff to use as crafting supplies and another to use as decor. Today I would like to share a couple of photos of thrifted Easter decor items.

This is Betsy Bunny.

She's a pretty ceramic hanger upper that I found in the local junk shop.

I'm loving everything pastel these days.

I found two of these vintage juice glasses and decided that they make lovely little candle holders.

The glass object in the background is an old water container that I purchased at a flea market last summer.

Have you rescued anything lately?

Recycled Doily Sachets

If you ask me, nothing smells better than lavender.

I always keep a supply of French lavender buds on hand for making sachets.

These were all made from vintage linen doilies.

I picked these vintage doilies up at an estate sale for 3/$1.00.

These are about 10 and 12 inches in diameter and hold quite a lot of lavender.

These small sachets were made from thrifted doilies.

They are about 3 inches in diameter.

Each sachet holds one tablespoon of lavender.

I purchased all of them for just 29 cents.

They are adorned with tiny vintage flowers.

Jack likes the smell of lavender too, and fresh bed linens, and hamburgers and bacon and......

What's your favorite fragrance?

Frilly Friday

 Oh, the frill of it all! More thrifted lace goodies to use in my projects. This is an 80's jacket and skirt. Beautiful buttons, lace and fabric. I can use the entire thing for something pretty.

 I found this cute bag at the local antique mall. The hardware comes apart easily, so I was able to launder it without any trouble.

 And these are the coolest, ugliest, prettiest, pair of longjohns I've ever seen. I was thinking of cutting off the bottom and making a shirt, but they're just so wonderful and different, I hate to cut them up.



Friday's Frills

I must warn you, there are a lot of pictures here, but I just had to share with you the beautiful wedding dresses I thrifted yesterday. Everything you see here was purchased for $5.00. I'm sorry to gush, but this is a mountain of vintage and antique lace for a grand total of $5.00. It has to be the best find I've ever had on a treasure hunt. It will make you drool, I promise!
