Thrifty Luck



So many thrifty finds this week. 
Curtains, dotty vase, a paint by number, a bit of crochet and a pup... whew! 

I love the curtains, and they are in mint condition. Well, OK, they have a bit of old house smell, even though they've been washed and hung outside. I think it has to do with the rubbery backing. Any pointers? I don't want to wash them too much because of the backing.


Today I bought myself a lilly, but needed a container,
so off to the op shop and I found a sweet, faux wicker basket. 


I'm not sure what's made me happiest though, it might be this poodle. 
I love him, and I want to draw him.


Oh, this crochet baby blanket too! 
I think it's about the right size to turn into a big cushion cover.
 I seem to be attracted to garish colours lately. Yikes. 


Another a view of my little pup? Well, sure! 
The thrifting luck has been pretty good this week.
I hope yours has been the same.

Happy Spring everyone.

Thanks for popping by!

Glad you found me so I could find you. Another lovely feast of eye candy - great finds. No helpful suggestions for the curtains other than rip the stinky stuff off.

Hey Becky:

Great curtains! I got some similar about 2 years ago and made them into outdoor cushions. Completely waterproof!

Have a good one,

Lisa

i am continually amazed by what you can get thrifting! And that blanket, someone worked hard on it and then someone just donated it. Score!
