3 or more...thrifty buys

I am joining in Three or more Tuesday and Thrifty Tuesday today. I just got back from a road trip to North Carolina. I must say, I missed blogging while gone!! 2 weeks is a long time girls. My hubby said, "there, there...dear...aren't you glad to be back home." when he saw me at the computer the 1st a.m. home. :0) OMG, I've been so drooling over some of ya'lls finds and prices. Here in Houston you don't hear of some of the awesome bargains I see ya'll snaggin'. The Lord smiled on me this day...50 cents a box for old fashioned ornaments for my silver tree!!!
In mint condition just like the ones my mother-in-law gave me a few years ago. She still has more in her attic but won't give them up just yet.

This is the 1st ones I saw...5 little perfect condition red ones.

And, finally...coming home thru Alabama in Gulf Shores they have several thrift shops. I think I got this at the Salvation Army for $1.99, it it blown glass. Boy, do I love breakables and usually find them when the car is already stuffed to the gills and there is hardly a chance to get it home in perfect order.
Happy Hunting. The buttons are over to the top of my blog to see more or join in the fun.

  3. Oh I just love all those old ornaments. I have found a few of them in my thrifty travels also but not as thrifty as 50 cents.

  5. Denise Marie, you did great with those gorgeous Christmas balls. My sister is an antique dealer and she sells them for a lot of money. You have some real treasures there. Will you post that silver tree this Christmas? I hope so.

    Hugs...Jeanne
