A day of thrifting

Okay, after a day like today, I'm a bit junk drunk.  I spent a lovely day with a dear friend thrifting and antiqueing.  A day with no schedule, lots of flexibility and beautiful weather.  Can't beat it! 
I found some great buys.  Here are a few pictures. 
 
 
 
He's a goose with red tin feet and a happy disposition. He's irresistable!
 He's was on sale too! 

 
 
 
I'm a sucker everytime I find a metal tiered shelf.  Sometimes I need to think about it and when I  come back for it, someone else didn't need to think about it and has it home already.  So, I'm learning.  Today I got it right.  So cute! 
 
 
 
I like the look of these old enamal cookware pieces.  They're affordable and come in lots of colors and sizes.  I think I'm beginning to collect them (shhh).  I found this beauty and appreciate her large size and cleaniness.   Here she is from the front. 

 
And here she is from the side.  
 I especially like the little love handle on her back to help with pouring. 
 
 
This pitcher was my first purchase last year.  A big mouth, a big handle, equals a big deal!
 
 
This handsome little guy sold me on his color alone.  Love him!
 
 
 
Okay, this next find had me at hello!  1) it has casters, 2) it's steel, and 3) it's red.  SHUT UP!   And look at her cute shape!  Curvy, sturdy and so unique.  WOW!   I added a piece of tempered glass to the top for now with a piece of wood under it on one side to make a level top.  I'm gonna have fun with this one.   
 
 
So in love with her!   
 
 
I spotted this small antique cabinet at a garage sale this past weekend and nabbed it.  So great for small collectables or keepsakes. 
 
 
And finally, I found this pretty quilted throw at St. Vincent DePaul recently.  Don't you just want to cuddle up with it?  I do. 
 






 

 
The small checked fabric on the back makes a good impression on me too. 
 


I'm pretty excited with my treasures.  Looking forward to finding a home for
them in my home. 
 
Good luck to you on your treasure hunts!
