[My Finds] Shoes, Cabinets and Dishes!

I didn't realize that I had so many items to share until I started looking around.


Here are my latest buys from the Spokane area:


I found this set of dishes on the Spokane CL for only $10!  There are so many dishes in this awesome set that I had to put some in storage.

The set includes dinner plates, salad plates, dessert plates, bowls, tea cups and saucers, serving bowls and platters! 


I love them and can't wait to use them at a dessert party we are hosting this week!


I found these shoes at the Salvation Army Thrift Store on Division for $3.98 plus tax.  I definitely thought twice about buying used shoes from a thrift store but they looked brand new and I cleaned them before wearing them.  If shoes could pay for themselves in compliments earned then this pair has definitely paid for themselves in the few weeks I have owned them.  I have loved womens reactions to them, literally one customer at my work exclaimed "Hang on a minute! We have to talk about your shoes!"

The brand is called New Twist and I can't find any shoes by them online, I am assuming its some cheapo brand but I love them!


My last buy is a small medicine cabinet for our bathroom.  Our apartment came with this funky wood and metal shelf in the bathroom that doesn't match the style of the space at all.  When I saw this cute cabinet at UGM on Washington for $1.99 plus tax, I snagged it.  It works well for a bit more storage space and looks a lot better than the shelf we used before.

Happy Hunting!

Sunday's Pick

Hello!


I hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend.  I have found CL to be pretty slow lately and I haven't had the time to visit any estate sales.  Are any of you having better luck than me?


Here is my favorite posting from the Spokane area CL today:

Cannister Set

$15

excellent codition. rubber seal on inside edge of lids. raised lettering, hunter green on white.

I think this is a great set of cannisters!  I love the font and how the letters are raised.

Monday's Picks

I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend!

Here are my latest picks from the Spokane area CL:

(Click on the photo to be taken to the original ad)

I have been in love with chenille bedspreads since the first time I laid eyes on one.  They can be incredibly expensive depending on their design and condition.  I think this one is a bargain at $20.

A cute straight-forward dining table for $15:

I like the looks of this large thermometer but these days I fear I would get depressed every time I read the temperature.

Honorable mentions go to:

Tool Box

Couch

Console/Table
