A DEAL IS A DEAL!!!

I found this great green glass jar a few weeks ago at a yard sale


 Not sure what I will do with it, but for $2 it will hold lots of goodies

A few Thrift Shop finds
This cute teapot and one cup was marked $2.92 but it was 75% off so cost less then $1....nice bargain

I found this great scale at Goodwill on Sr Day
It will weigh up to 30 pounds and will help me in shipping items for my Etsy shop and was less then $5

Now one of my favorite finds lately is in Pink so that makes me very happy.  It was at a consignment shop and was 50% off!
 Three place settings of Pink Fiesta Ware!
I love this and such a great color, it will go with so many things.
I can't wait to use this in some tablescapes
The cost for all this?
$8.50


I am joining in with Debbie for the weekly
