Junkin Finds Friday



I can't believe it is already time for Junkin Finds Friday with Linda of A la Carte. Linda, thanks for hosting this fun meme...make sure you check out all the other finds and hopefully, keeps!

To enlarge any photo, just click on it.

I haven't had much luck thrifting until today...I found two Pashmina scarves for $1.99 each at Goodwill...one is a solid lime and the other is dark brown, almost black with a burnt orange with metallic gold threads throughout. They are both about 36"x80". I also found rattan charger plates, $1.99 for all four, 4 white dinner plates 49¢ each and a reversible quilted tablecloth, which was $4.49, which is more than I usually pay for a tablecloth at a thrift store.

There are a couple of other goodies that you will have to wait to see later in the month...possibly in a tablescape!

The scarves are incredibly soft...can you tell how much I love them? They were crammed in with the sheets, pillowcases, curtains, napkins, etc. I had to work to get them out far enough to see them. When I saw what they were, they went into my cart faster than you can blink!





The color of this one is very warm and rich, this photo makes it looked washed out, possibly by the time I got home the lighting wasn't very good so I had to use the flash.







Thanks for stopping by today, leave a comment so I know that you were here!

Oh, you SCORED! Lovely finds.

My tastes are very simple. I love old restaurant ware. Heh. I saw some white with red flowers on it that I didn't buy because I thought the price was a little high. But it was a set and had a lot of pieces. I've kicked myself ever since for not buying it.

So, if you see something that makes you hold your breath, even if it's a little more than what you would ordinarily pay, it's almost always worth it to go ahead and get it.

Hugs, Ilene

What a great deal on the scarves. I brought home one that I had given my mom a few years ago...barely pink and so soft. I remember what I paid for it...you really got lucky!

I would never find those chargers or pashmina at our Goodwill! It seems as though I would have to go daily to get the good finds :-) But I am thrilled that you are finding some wonderful items!

Great finds! I love the scarves. Don't you just love the hunt at Goodwill? My husband thinks I'm nuts but I would rather go there than to the mall.
Thanks for visiting and your sweet comment, Annette
