The Dry Spell is Over! Thrifty Finds.

I am really lucky to have a Goodwill on my way home from class. The bad thing is that I get out of class at 11 am on Tuesday/Thursday and I do not head to work until a couple hours later so I stop in a lot. I have went to Goodwill at least once a week since school started. And I have not been able to find anything!!!! It has been driving me nuts. I have not found a any vintage glass, furniture, or clothes. That is until yesterday and today!!!!!

Here are my finds!

- 2 Pyrex mixing bowls

• One Woodland Brown 402 
• One Autumn Harvest Wheat 403 

- 3 Tea Cups - Homer Laughlin Restaurant Ware tea cups
- Vintage Pillow Case
-  Vintage Men's Shirt

 The first thing is the men's shirt that I bought. A year or so ago we went to Little 5 Points in downtown Atlanta and I found the most comfortable button up. And it turns out that it was a well worn men's shirt from the 60's or 70's. So since then I have been looking for cute men's shirts. I really liked this one it is light blue with yellow, lavender, and slightly darker blue stripes. I am trying to decide whether or not I will keep this one or give it to Steve.

 Then today I found this vintage pillow case. I am not sure if I am going to use it for a DIY or keep it for an actual pillow case.

 Woodland Brown 402

The first thing that I do when I head to a thrift store is head straight for the glassware section. And lately I have been leaving empty handed. But I got there and this little guy was sitting inside of the larger bowl. I almost ran when I saw them. I am not a huge fan of the light brown color but I love the pattern. Honestly, I do not think that you can have too many of these bowls. I have a few that are the size smaller than this one and they are great for when you want a big bowl of cereal.

 Autumn Harvest Wheat 403
This bowl is such a great size! It is not a pretty pink or turquoise but I think I will be more inclined to use it because it is not one of my favorite patterns.

 I am so glad the Pyrex dry spell is over. Both bowls are in really great condition! I do not collect these patterns but I would love to have a complete set. I would totally love to give my friends a set of vintage Pyrex for Christmas.

Finally the Homer Laughlin tea cups. I love the turquoise detail on the top of these. The cups are nice and heavy, they are substantial. I understand why these are restaurant ware. I bought these thinking that I would make my tea cup candles. However, when I realized that they are restaurant ware I decided that I will put them in my Hope Chest and find other tea cups to make into candles.



I hope y'all are having a great week so far!

What thrifty finds have you found lately?
