Thrifty Finds

I did find a few more things at the SA on the

 day I found my perfect anniversary gift.

They gave me a few bright ideas.

I found a silver casserole caddy for $4.00.

It can hold a 9x13 Pyrex dish or I can have
Larry cut a piece of wood for the bottom so
 that I can use it as a tray.

He could also cut shelves and I could

hang it on the wall and use it as a spice shelf.

I'll let you know what I decide.

 A bag full of nickel silver punch cups for $12.50.

 12 cups. I can think of several uses.  

Of course they would be perfect for Christmas eggnog. 

Or.....

I could tie on a pretty ribbon and hang them from the dining room tree. 

I could fill them with small candles and use them as votives.

 Put a row of them down the center of the table.

 Or put one at each place setting.

 The silver makes a nice glow.

I could also fill them with just the right amount
 of chocolate mousse. 

 For now I'm going to use them for the 

sugar and flour scoops.

I change my scoops several times a year.

I also found another throw.
A crocheted afghan, for $4.00.

 Washed and dried.

 A beautiful Santa needlepoint pillow.  

Only $1.00! In perfect condition.
And I thought I wouldn't find a needlepoint
 Christmas pillow on sale this year.

 A 'new with tags' green striped pillow sham.

 It was $1.00 and has colors I can use for
 St. Patrick's Day decorating.
I thought of using it as a table square
 but decided to give the doggies a new
cover on one of their pillows. 

Lucky waited patiently while I put this
 freshly washed sham on his favorite bed.  

 He hopped on as I was taking the picture.

 My doggies love new bedding. 

I don't know where they get that idea.

And here again is my favorite. 

Sheffield silverplate from England.

It's our anniversary find. $12.50!

 Seen HERE (The Perfect Anniversary Gift).

Cheers!
