Sitting on the shelf, shoved way to the back, I noticed this darling cookbook holder. It was red with a bit of black added to make it look Shabby Chic.
As soon as I pulled it out, I knew it would be coming home with me. I looked it over hoping that it was in OK condition and if something was wrong I could at least fix it.
Well it turned out to be in perfect, brand new condition. Even in the color that goes with my red/black/white kitchen colors.I was so excited I almost stopped looking, so I could run up and pay for it and take it home. I loved it so much that I would have gladly paid full price for this. But, it only cost $3.00! Well, $2.99 to be precise.
I was sure happy I decided to keep looking around because I came across these breathtaking lace napkins!Again, in perfect, brand new condition. Still in the sealed package with the original price still on them.
They were originally $129! Yikes! Way out of my price range. But wait! I turned the package over and it said $4.99. What! Could that be possible?
There were two packages there. I grabbed both of them. If the price was right I was getting them. If not, oh well, I could put them back.
It turned out that I did get them for that price. Both packages! I almost fainted.There were 12 per package. So I got 24 of these lovely lace napkins for less then $10.
Maybe I can use them at the baby shower I'm planning. I'm not sure how many people there will be but if there is 24 or less I'll use them.
The last thing I found was the great vintage table cloth. I love vintage table cloths and I collect them but I have to say I don't think I've ever found one at a thrift store in this condition.
It looked like someone had just had it packed away and never used it.
The colors were still bright, no holes or wear at all. Boy, it sure was my lucky day! I left there on cloud nine! I wish every thrift shopping day turned out this good.
I guess that's what makes thrift shopping so fun. You never know what you will find!
