Aprons Ahoy!

I am taking a break from posting about my thrift finds to talk about another purchase I made recently: these two ADORABLE aprons from The Apron Diva.


Black & White damask & polka dot half apron with pocket


Lemon half apron with pocket

Please forgive the fact that I didn't iron them before I took the picture. I fell in love with both of these aprons on her facebook site. I initially decided on the black and white damask half apron. I had to snatch it up before somebody else bought it. No matter what though, I couldn't stop thinking about the lemon one as well. It was so cheery. I could see myself using the lemon one in the spring/summer time and the damask one in the fall/winter. As luck would have it, a few days later The Apron Diva popped up at my work again. This time she happened to have the lemon one in her car. I knew I wouldn't forgive myself if I let that one get away too, so I bought that one as well. I am extremely pleased with both of my purchases. I highly recommend her for your high fashion apron needs.

Junior League Thrift Store


Yellow gloves = $0.50

Emily and I also stopped in the Junior League Thrift Store last Saturday. Normally I don't find anything in this store at all. I was lucky to pick up these cute little yellow cotton gloves with buttons and stitching. And for only 50 cents too. I couldn't resist.

Salvation Army

In continuing on with my first thrifting trip of the new year, Emily and I also went to The Salvation Army. I was sort of expecting to find a few more things there than I actually did. Oh well. Maybe next time.



Blue Glass Spray Bottle = $1.99

This is obviously missing the top half. Maybe some sort of pump or atomizer. Even though it is broken and obviously needs some cleaning, I am still quite enamored with it.


Two brown decorative bottles = $0.49 each = $0.98 total

It says "SB" on the front of each of the two bottles. They obviously have a twist cap so I don't think they are very old. I thought they were cool looking so I had to snatch them up.

Goodwill

Emily and I went on our first thrifting adventure of the new year yesterday. Our first stop was Goodwill.


Orange shirt = $4.00

Emily actually picked out this shirt for me. At first I wasn't so sure about it. But then after trying it on, I fell in love with the color and the fit. It is the perfect addition to adding more color to my wardrobe.


White frilly Wet Seal shirt = $4.00






Magnifying Glass = $0.79



Huge Moroccan Tea Pot = $5.99

The tea pot is actually quite huge. Bigger than any "tea pot" I have ever seen. I am going to use it as a watering can to water my plants with (that is about how big it is). It says "Made in Morocco" on the bottom and has a reference number which I can not make out.
