Fridays Thrifty Finds!



 This week I found some pretty fun and interesting finds at 4 different thrift stores all for $7.50! 



Being a teacher, I'm always excited when I find vintage teacher related items. This sweet "Teacher" mug is made in Japan and cost me 50 cents. It will be heading into school with me.



This Johnson Brothers Old Granite Hearts & Flowers oval serving platter was $1.99 and in excellent condition. Perfect for some Valentine's Day baked goodies!


 A set of two slate blue Pyrex mugs for a $1! 


I have a small collection of tin litho trays which are all Christmas themed. This is my first souvenir tray that features the Hawaiian Islands. Did I mention we are going to Hawaii in March!!!



So I've been looking for a wicker purse for-ever!! Finally found this one. Love it's square shape and leather details. So very Golden Girls!

Linking up with The Thrifty Groove for Thrifty Things Friday, The Cottage Market for Junkin Joe and Young Heart's linky party!

Until we thrift again...

    1. The Pyrex mugs go nicely with a set of striped ones I already had so I was happy to add these to my collection.

  10. I am going to Hawaii in March also :) Oahu-can't wait!

    I have a bunch of Hawaii tin trays--if you keep your eye open you can score those plate hangers for cheap at thrifts in the Bay Area (where I am assuming you are as well due to the 49ers post) and then you can hang them quite easily.
