My Thrifting Finds

I hadn't been thrifting much this summer but I did stop at a couple of places recently. I like roosters and hens and bought this one from a little thrift store when I was down at the cottage. Its my first one. He was a deal at $1.99 I thought. See my percy pig cookie jar looking so pleased to have another barnyard pal closeby.

While we were in California on vacation I saw some adorable ones at Ross. We don't have Ross here in Canada and there isn't one when I go across the border either. I tried to convince Marc that SOMEPLACE we had to have room for one or two of them but he was right the carry-on already had precious glassware and I had to leave them behind. I haven't seen any really nice ones around here but I'll keep looking.














I also LOVE bunnies as you may know and soup touraines (spelling?) and I quickly grabbed this bunny soup touraine. He even has a little ladle. I have some other soup touraines without ladles so I'll be able to use this one all around. I know this bunny will share. He was only $4.99.



























I put the bunny and the rooster together on my baker's rack. They sit with the two singing pie birds I bought on ebay last summer.














I also found this little ceramic tree with two dear bunnies. One is swinging the other little one. It actually does swing if you give a little gentle push. They are such sweet little love bunnies. Thats what my bunny and I call each other.....cute eh?...the bunnies I bought I mean!!

















This is the back of them.... I just couldn't leave it behind for 99 cents.


















I hope you find something special that you "really" need next time you are thrifting too....
have a great day... Judi xoxo

I sure wish you had a Ross!!!
I think Bunny looks very happy to have a new friend as well!!!

Yes, my son and his family will live less than a mile away, thank God!

What wonderful little things to add to you home decor and useful too. I have this exact same rooster. I collect roosters so there aren't many I don't have.

Great post!
