Look who followed me home from the thrift store Thursday.
Normally, I gravitate to the vintage stuff in the Christmas aisle at the thrifts and this guy is probably only a few years old. But for $1.91, I couldn't let him spend the holiday in the land of misfit Holiday toss aways.
He was silverplate after all.
So I brought him home and gave him a good cleaning up.
I actually sort of preferred his tarnished look. Gave him a little more character. But when I'm going to serve food on something, I prefer to shine it up a bit. Makes it more sanitary looking.
Now he's ready to hold Christmas cookies at our annual family party today. Does making No Bake Cookies count as baking?

I was thinking I preferred the tarnished look and then I read that you wrote the same. Then you said FOOD and you had me. The shiny is good.

He's adorable. You are always so lucky. I miss our Salvation Army thrift store. They always had better housewares than our Goodwill.

He looks very happy to be in his new home!

He looks all spiffy and shiny. I like him tarnished too. He's a terrific find at an bargain price, sure to be treasured for years to come. ENJOY!

Oh he is so cute! What a great find. I just love snowmen and this little guy is a keeper for sure. I liked his tarnished look, too but he looks quite dapper with his new shine.
