A few thrift things...

The other day when I went grocery shopping I decided to stop at Goodwill. I haven't been there in a while and heck it was Senior Citizen Wed. another 10%off. Usually tho everything is picked over on that day and I rarely find things but not this week!

I found this cake dish. Ive always wanted a domed one and it was a great price. Its a nice heavy piece too not something flimsy. But I mainly wanted it to put on my counter with brownies and such that the man eats. Ive been storing them over the microwave and not only do they get forgotten but they get stale. So this is a pretty way to solve that issue. 

I also saw this sweater. Its a chenille yarn in shades of blue and purple.......my favorite colors. It also has a hood. Thought it would come in handy with the weather we get. 

I love purple glass and its hard to find. But I found this stunning bud vase. Its a nice glass with some weight to it and a pretty color. Not sure where Ill put it yet but I just had to have it.

And then I bought another sand castle, the one on the left. Ive always loved these but they are pretty expensive in the gift shops. But lately Ive been finding them in GW for a couple of dollars and that's reasonable. And so my collection is slowly growing. I just had to add one of my mermaids to this. 

And then I found this mixed in with a bunch of other things. I almost passed it by. I had to untangle it just to see what it was. I Love grape things tho. This has very gnarled grapevines with some really purple sparkly grapes on it. I have grapes in my kitchen and while I still need to paint in here I thought this would look great when I do . Right now it clashes a bit with the hideous yellow on my walls. (its faded here from the camera flash, but trust me its bright)

So for $3 I bought it...............and I know these go for lots more. But it looks rather like a spider (which you all know I hate). And so I think Ill be looking for some greenery or flowers to wind in between to soften it up, otherwise I just love it.
