~ Thrifting finds ~

            
Hi friends      
Today was a great thrifting day! 
I went to a thriftstore this morning called Value Village and found some shabby pretties....
 

Sometimes thrifting can be disappointing when all you see is 80's furniture / collectibles or things that are way over priced...
But luckily that was not the case today.....
 

I found antique cups for only a few dollars a piece...
an old shabby floral trivet...crown pin...the perfect bohemian style white crocheted bag..and a few other treasures....
 

All in the same colour palette...pretty soft pastels which I love.....
I only spent $21.00
A great thrifting day! 
The millinery flowers I bought from Whimsical Whites today...love them too.
 

Also.....
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful friend Tausha!!!
(I hope your gift arrived today)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! 
xo,
Rachel

Rachel, I love how your little cups have feet! So pretty and sweet! The cup with the little golden daisies is so exquisite.

I need to go to whimsical whites one day.

I hope Tausha's spirit has mended. I think of her often.
So blessed to be your blog friend!

Great thrifting finds, Rachel. I'm especially fond of the blue, white and gold cup with the sweet little feet.

Happy Birthday Tausha!

Hi Rachel~
Love all your treasures and oh my, you did so good with so little spending. Being frugal has been a way of life for my family and I. That bohemian bag is so cool along with the plate and regal crown brooch, lovin them big time! I hope Tausha had the best birthday ever! I just received my second dreamcatcher on Thursday and it's GORGEOUS! It's so wonderful to see her following her passions and being happy once again isn't it!
Hugs~ Steph
