Thrifting at Faith Farm Ministries

I was a day late for the latest sale at my

 favorite thrift store, but how could I 

resist such a lovely email invitation.

Dear Rita, Thank you for being a valued VIP and for supporting our ministry.  Your support saves lives!

I usually go first thing on Friday morning
when they are fully loaded. Moseying in
late Saturday morning I hoped I'd still
find a few things on my "Thrifting List". 

Let's see....the usual suspects: dishes, mugs,

 bowls, oh, and maybe a couple of pieces of 

flatware I could leave in our van for our

Amefa Stainless Flatware from Holland-Vintage. 12¢ each

 road trips and new adventure - 

beach camping. 

Handmade pottery mug- 50¢

Crazy blue pottery mug to add to my

miss-matched blue and white mugs when

displayed on the mug rack. 

Valentine's Day mug- 50¢

Another Valentine's mug to add to the

 V collection. I gave a few to my daughter

 Kim...so I needed more. 

38pc set vintage English Churchill china- $17.50

 Blue and white English Churchill
Staffordshire China in the vintage
Finlandia pattern.

It's 6 place settings plus a few extras.
Everything was half price for the sale.

Pfaltzgraff Sommersby Salad Plates

8 salad/dessert plates for 50¢ with
 a cheery strawberry pattern and a
blue edge to perfectly coordinate with
  all my blue dishes.

It's like a scarf but for dishes~
a nice seasonal accent.

Saucers 25¢

Misc saucers, 2 white ones for cups I have
and 2 just because they are pretty.

I'll use the pretty ones for fat candles,

 or jewelry plates, or a soap dish, or...

Cast Iron pan $4, Pastry Cutter 25¢ 

An oval cast iron pan. I can see a steak

 sizzling on it now, or a grilled sandwich. 

Two rattan trays I'll use as placemats or 

in the van for beach camping.

I took a close up of the flatware 

pattern to keep on my phone. I liked

them more when I got home. Doesn't

that happen often? I'll add those to 

the Thrifting List on my phone.

(5 Tips For Shopping Thrift Stores)

The dishes were unpacked and loaded 

into the dishwasher, the cast iron 

was scrubbed and oiled, the trays were

 scrubbed, and all was right in my world. 

Grand total $30. 

When you feel good about every penny
 you spend. 

Cheers!
