Thrifty Finds

Well we didn't find a lot this weekend, but K was so happy with one thing we found in particular. He is always on the hunt for Legos, if you remember this post. He found a Lego Mindstorm set, not complete, but with the "brain" and some other key parts still there. The cost a mere $5.00 and if you know Legos you know that is a B-A-R-G-A-I-N.



Now on to my goodies for the house and kitchen. I found a box of canning jars at a church sale, about 25 jars for $8.00. It gets better...I was telling my sister about my find and she brought a box of 10 quart jars to me from her pantry. She gave them to me! Thanks Sister!! Now I have plenty to get me started in my canning adventures.



I also found some goodies at another sale and at the Salvation Army this week. I think I spent about $5.00 for this divided wooden box, a darling frame (both will be getting a paint job), and a few yards of this cute fabric. I think the fabric is going to transform into an apron. Maybe like the ones shown here.



I think my favorite find this week is a shirt I also found at the Salvation Army. It was 50% off women's clothes, so I got this Ann Taylor Loft cutie for $1.65. I love the pattern and the way it fits!



Anyway those are my deals for the week, to see other great finds join Rhonda over at Southern Hospitality for Thrifty Treasures.

    That top is really pretty, and I admire anyone who cans! I'd love to give it a try, but I'm afraid that after all the work, it will taste awful!

    Msslaybug-
    I was planning on using the box for my boys' homework supplies. Pencils, crayons, markers, glue, scissors, and rulers. I do like your idea too. Maybe I can use it for plants during the summer and the boys' stuff during the school year...

    Cut box - perfect for silverware and rolled up napkins! And the shirt is adorable. Good finds, this week, I'd say. :-) Sue

    I'm still visiting participating blogs. I have a tutorial on my blog about using canning jars and making a pincushion. You might want to take a look... Love the A.T. top, I bet is is adorable on.
    Hope to see you over my way one of these days.
