A Couple of Nifty Thrifties

From a Visit To Goodwill

On Saturday I stopped in Goodwill to see if there was anything interesting. Didn't find too much but went home with these 3 things.
This forsythia garland will be something perfect for me to use on a spring time tablescape.
It was $3.00 minus 20%.


My grand daughter's 4th birthday is coming up in March and I spotted this huge plastic horse that looks a lot like Echo!! Has a removable saddle and bridle. ($8.00 minus 20%)


And at 50 cents each I couldn't leave these blue denim salad plates!
Sometimes I find a lot and sometimes just a few things. The fun is in the hunt!!


I'll link up with Coastal Charm this week for "Nifty Thrifty Tuesday".
Have fun everyone!!

  2. Oh that Forsythia! I frame the top of my front door in it! The horse does look like Echo and I love the bridle/saddle contrast against the black! The blue denim plates...adorable! My kind of girl, Shirley...:)JP

  3. Your granddaughter's toy reminds me of my best friend in childhood. She wanted a horse so badly that her parents bought her a similiar toy, telling her if she learned to take care of it , they might get her a real one someday. She bragged to everyone she knew that her parents would be buying her a horse soon, until her mom made her stop saying that. Come to find out, IF they bought her a horse, it would be in the way distance future. I never learned if she got it though. Thanks for the memory.

  5. I would have picked up the same items, except for the horsey, although it's a beauty! I love the blue plates. Nice finds..
