thrifty!


maybe not by way of thrift-store, but i was definitely thrifty. i went to an estate sale on thursday during my lunch break and brought home lots of goodies.


these beautiful, old measuring spoons. my mother in law has this same set that i've been admiring for a while. i couldn't believe it when i found the same set.


i love wooden spoons. it reminds me of when i was younger - my mom has some wooden spoons and i always loved their worn texture.


does this tray look familiar? i found the same one at a thrift store last year, and painted it black. i think i'll keep this one brass, though.


i have no idea what this is supposed to be used for. it's not a door knocker, i don't think. i'll probably stick it in the kitchen and use it to hang dish towels off of!

i also found this pretty dish. it's got a few chips on the edges, but i just love the design. and, it's pink, so i'm not sure if it is depression glass or not....

i also got a few other things: an old pastry cutter, a rolling suitcase for d, an aluminum steamer and some baking pans...

estate sales are the best! i think the rooster is for dish towels and yes, that is depression glass. good finds :)
