FABULOUS Thrifting Finds! ~ C'mon In and See

Hi Friends!!!

First off, do you like my new look? There are some neat blog free backgrounds that other bloggers have so graciously offered. I love anythings ROSES as you know so I changed to this one cause its so right up my alley! LOL

Okay...I have a few things that I have picked up today and last week I thought I'd show you. When this girl gets the urge to go Thrifting...nothings get's in my way..not even feeling crummy cause of allergies!
I nabbed this metal can because of the...ROSE's...YEP I sure do love 'em and I have a small collection of these round cannisters.
I also found this darling, petite silver 2 tiered tidbit tray. Not quite sure if I am going to keep it or maybe offer it up in my etsy store..still thinking on this one.
Next four pictures are my ULTIMATE, FABULOUS finds! I LOVE bone china too...and of course ROSE's!!!! So when I find these 8 inch plates they just cry out to me!
Then there's this sweet saucers whose cup is gone a missin'...I am sure I can find a space on a wall somewhere just for it!
Oh my, its so hard to see the sweet forget~me~nots on this handpainted Cookie plate but the colors are so pretty, soft and muted.
Last, but never least..is this pretty handpainted violets plate...isn't this just LOVELY? I sure think so!
A darling Angel Duo..will go well in my RED Powder room which is full of angels and cherubs...I almost put these back, so glad I didn't!
In my kitchen I have a more English/French Country theme...so I nabbed this napkin holder..99c..not to bad huh?
Red, really is one of my favorte colors to have in a room...it just POPs and is a happy color. Growing up when I would be down, I'd wear red to cheer myself up. I almost didn't get this cause I didn't realize it said $4.99...the sweet lady waiting on me said..I want it off my shelves, I price these items and would rather see them go to a good home...so I paid .99C..this will probably go in my Red Powder room
And I thought $3 for this denim jacket was a steal...and loved those CHICO's goucho style capri's for $4 wasn't bad either. Plus these are a rich caramel color (my camera didn't capture the right color)..YUM!
Then I just couldn't pass up this Snowman/girl...got some Christmas ideas...we will see how they turn out..could be a before/after some day!

Well..thanks for letting me share!
Blessings...Lorena

Hi Lorena, I LOVE your new blog look! So very pretty ~ so YOU! You got some really great finds thrifting, but I'm especially taken with the violets plate!! I love the tidbit tray, too. The tin has incredible roses on it, almost as pretty as yours! You could make some really fun tassels with those snowmen!!

Big Hugs,
Stephanie

I can't believe you found all of those rose plates, honey!! I'd love to find some around here. But the clothing was a fantastic buy also. Come to think of it, what would I do with another plate? I have stacks I haven't hung yet!
