Thank you Pinterest!

I use Pinterest quite often. Like the crazy person that I am, I can spend hours and hours looking at pictures of food i'll never make and things i'll never buy. I have made some recipes I found there. Some were so-so. A couple were amazing. I saw this picture there.

Aren't they pretty? They are from Pottery Barn. A set of 6 will set you back $36 dollars. For glasses. That's crazy. My first thought on seeing these however was, "DAMN! I saw two of these at the thrift store last week and didn't pick them up!" You can buy it as a set of 6, or you can get a six piece assortment with two of those, and a couple other styles of glasses too. Next time I go out I may have to check and see if those other styles are there. Maybe a whole set was donated.

So I went back to the Thrift store this morning and guess what? They were still there! Whoot!


I left a dollar poorer and thrift richer.

Brand Names

I always find things I like. Sometimes they are a brand, like the Southern Living, sometimes they aren't. And sometimes I just get really lucky. Longaberger.

Its a discontinued style of course. But my friend will probably kill me if I don't give it to her. Or I may save it for our girl's only pollyanna at christmas time. It will give her a shot at it anyway.

The bunny is a set of 2 cast iron bookends from Pottery Barn with their UPC code still on. The mini colander is going towards my wind chime project. I love the colors in the box. I have a silver winter theme box as a decoration right now, i'm going to save this box for next summer to replace it. The candle holder is interesting. The top cap should make cheap pillar candles burn more regularly. I look forward to trying that out.
