    Weekly Thrifting Finds

    Published by Pam Kessler | 155 words. · About 1 minute to read this article. - 30 Comments

    I picked up a few thrifty items this week.

     


    I found this silver pitcher at a local thrift store for $3.93.

    It's a little more modern than I normally go for, but it was nicely tarnished and a fairly heavyweight piece, so I scooped it up.


    I thought it would make a nice vase.


    I bought this blue bird (blue jay?) planter at another thrift store for $1.91.


    It was made by Caffco.

    I had never heard of Caffco before, but when I researched them I learned that it is a Montgomery, Alabama company that has been in business for 50+ years.


    Not sure of its age, but it looks vintage.

    Since it's a planter, I went to the Dollar Tree store

    and bought one of their faux greenery pots. For $1.00. Because it is the Dollar Tree after all.

    He looks pretty chipper considering he has a bush growing out of his back!

      You did great!! I wish we had those prices in NY. Love the Silver Pitcher! It looks like it's silver plated. Am I right? It's in great shape. Enjoy. I'm going to a post card show on Saturday. I can't wait.. Wish you could come.

      Great finds, for great prices! And that certainly does NOT look like a faux plant!
      Best,
