Thrifty Things Friday #111

Diann and I hope you are ready to share your thrifty ideas, finds

 and money saving tips with us today! 

Go to The Thrifty Groove to link up!

This week I'm sharing a shopping trip to a thrift shop I took with my daughter and grandson!

At 2 years old Tiger grows so fast and clothes can be expensive!  So we always check out the thrift shops for everyday play wear! 

Sara found so many cute shirts

ranging in price from .75 to $3.99

Shorts and even a couple of swimsuits! 

All for a GREAT price!  If you don't thrift shop or yard sale for children's clothes, I encourage you to check it out!  You might be very surprised!

It always makes Tiger smile! 

We also pick up a couple of new books to read at bedtime!  

Be sure to hop over to Diann's blog and see what others are sharing at Thrifty Things Friday! 

Features From TTF #110

So many great posts last week it's hard to pick just two favorites!  Still I knew when I saw these two posts they spoke to me!  

I'm really drawn to the 'junkin' posts as that is where my heart is!

My first feature this week is Helen and Her Daughters, she found some awesome patterns and buttons at an Estate Sale that just made me swoon!

Look at these amazing patterns!!

Beautiful buttons and this Wedding Cake topper from the 1920's or 30's

I hope you will take the time to visit

Helen and Her Daughters

My second feature of the week is 

The Adventures of Two (Pyrex Crazy) Thrifting Sisters

These gals have a lot of fun thrifting 

These recent finds had me smiling and I'm totally in love with the miniature pink ball jug!!

So be sure to stop by and visit them!

Count Down To Paris

Less then 100 days to my Dream Trip to Paris!

I showed you my inspiration board last week

I hinted that the cubbies were going to get a makeover

All things Paris!

This amazing adventure started a year ago 

while on vacation with my daughter Ashleigh in Las Vegas

On Mother's Day she surprised me with a dream trip to Paris...

you can read about that amazing gift here

I pulled together all my Paris items to fill the cubbies.  

Some have been treasures I've had for a long time, others have been gifts from friends and family as I've enjoyed this year of planning! 

The little Eiffel Tower on the top row was a gift from my daughter Sara when she went to France after graduating High School in 2000.  She was able to take that trip with her HS Choir and enjoyed many amazing adventures.  Now it's my turn! 

Some of you might recognize cards & gifts you have sent me!  

My Paris sign painted by my good friend Jenny Matlock tops the cubbies!  

More cards and gifts from friends!

This great box was found at Michael's and will be used to hold treasures from my trip.

More Eiffel Towers and of course Guide books!

All those pink ribbons mark things on my list to see and do in Paris!

This is an old French/English dictionary!

I better start studying!

This will be so much fun to add trinkets and other items as my trip grows closer! 

I've added a countdown on my sidebar!

I always love to hear your experiences and recommendations of what 'not to miss' in Paris!

Thrifty Things Friday #110

I'm sorry I'm a little late joining you for 

Thrifty Things Friday

I was travelling today and I will be spending a few days with my daughter and family, that means 

Tiger Time! 

I hope you will hop over at Diann's blog to see all the Thrifty Things 

that everyone has to share this week

Here are my latest thrift shop finds!

 I found this unusual shaped individual creamer for .25 and just had to add it to my collection

It's also restaurant ware, most likely not vintage

So of course you know why I had to buy this cute coffee mug....A Tiger of course!  only .50

This Grey Poupon mustard jar is something I was excited to find in a thrift shop for only .25

I love the graphics and of course it's French! 

Thanks for joining Diann and I for TTF!

Wishing you JOY,
