Thrifted
I'm sure you are wondering if Lera sews anymore. The truth is, I've been sick most of this week and sewing has just not happened. Sadly. Even with prime sewing night opportunities (Joe is out of town), I just can't do it.
How about I show you a few things I picked up at a rummage sale last week instead?
While we were out a few weeks ago, we passed a sign that a church was having a rummage sale the following week. (It was never listed in the newspaper, which surprised me. That teaches me to keep my eyes open more often.)
Anyway, I had not been to a church rummage sale in say, what, uh, 20 years. Seriously. And that was one that our youth group had at our church to raise money for a trip to Kings Dominion. I just don't see rummage sales advertised often, so when I saw "the sign," I knew I had to go.
Let's just say it was an experience to be remembered. I had Spenser and Sawyer with me and they were excellent. I couldn't ask for better thrifting partners. Sawyer was in his stroller and, when my arms were too full, Spenser pushed him for me. The rummage sale was a little stinky. Literally. I had to breathe through my mouth most of the time, which made my nose and ears clog up.
Anyway, I found some fun things, like the produce apron and the blue polka-dotted sheet. I also found the above vintage punch bowl set. Ladle included. The set has twelve cups, with one handle being broken off (but included). Sadly, I have broken off another handle since then. The set was a mere $4.

And then I found these "ovenwares." The one in the back in an unmarked casserole dish/mixing bowl thing with the coolest trees on it. The front one looks like a vase, but it is by Fire King and says "ovenware" on the bottom. I have no clue what it could be used for. Any ideas?
Oh, and the strawberry tablecloth underneath? Found in a pile of linens. I think it was a sheet in its former life. I bought a ton of stuff and my total bill was $10.
