Thrift Scores!

Buttons, buttons, who's got the button?

Oh thrifting, how I have missed you! What a perfect afternoon excursion before the (damned) snow started to fall too heavily to be out and about.

My parents picked me up and took me out to lunch in Exeter today, at a place called the Green Bean. The food was absolutely delicious. I had an egg salad sandwich on fresh olive bread, with roasted red pepper and feta soup. I also shared a gorgonzola, candied cranberry, toasted walnut salad with my mom. You could've rolled me out of there, I was so stuffed!

After that mom suggested that we stopped at an antique store on the way back to my apartment. Oh I am so happy that we did! Everything, for the most part, was so affordable! A thrifting trove!

I love this button card...

I've wanted a polka dotted Fire King mug for such a long time!

And the piece de resistance - a huge Pennsylvania Dutch serving tray I found almost completely shoved behind a bureau. It was only $10!!!

Sweet Penn Dutch Tray

Oh, I love the polka dot mug! I cracked up so much at the cat approval line. I had just written something similar about my cat disapproving of a yarn purchase. I think your cat needs to teach mine the value of a good thrift store run or clearance bin! :)

Those buttons are awesome! Oh my gosh, you have the best luck thrifting. I usually end up at Goodwill and feel like I'm trapped in that scene from "Napoleon Dynamite."
