Thrift Store Finds

I've been completely inspired lately by Jennifer's blog. She does a lot of thrift store shopping, and she's inspired me to get back into it.
.
I used to shop at thrift stores in college,
but not much since then.
.
Today, hubby and Bub came with me to a couple of thrift stores, and I found:
.
A couple of pretty blue Ball canning jars:

.
I also found a children's book for future Christmas decorating:

I had that book in the hallway around Christmas time stacked up with all of the other Golden Books... I love finding them.

Great finds! I love vintage Little Golden Books. I snatch them up whenever I come across them at the thrift or garage sales.

I saw two HUGE boxes full of old blue Mason jars (30-some jars!) last year at a garage sale but I was intimidated by the price per piece so I didn't dare ask for a bundle price for the lot. I kind of kick myself now...you never know unless you ask!

Great finds, but excellent photos! Love the staging; so simple but beautiful.

Julie,
I'm excited to decorate with the Jingle Bells book!

Jennifer,
I know you'd have done something great with those jars. Bummer. I'd have been intimidated too.

Andy,
Really? Thanks! It's just my kitchen counter. :)
