I am so happy when I find awesome things- after spending quality time digging through aisles, racks and piles at a thrift shop. My local favorite second hand shop- Savers- has a policy where if you bring items to donate then you get a 20% off coupon- all the more fun.
Found this awesome sweatshirt for the monkeys (they share clothes since they are the same size despite their two year age difference)- I got this for less than two dollars and I am excited for them to wear it when we travel to Canada at the end of the summer.
I found this set of small wooden bowls.
They are a perfect substitute for the plastic dinnerware we use around the pool.
These are classic 1970's bowls that growing up I remember everyone having having a set.
We actually own a large version of this bowl that my parents got as a wedding gift!
If you look very closely the larger bowl (which is older than me and is used constantly) has a crack in it.
The crack happened when we were living in Toronto and my youngest was playing on the kitchen floor- sitting in it and spinning around- Well he crack it and I keep it because it reminds me that my 'almost as tall as me' monkey was once was small enough to fit into this bowl!
I also like using the big bowl when I bring salad to friends houses- it's light, can fit a lot and won't break-
I am always on the look out for trays to use outside- this one is metal, has great depth and a great color scheme.
Finally- this air tight cookie jar- I want to start making more healthy cookies to leave on the counter- These almost finished ones are oatmeal raisins. For anyone who has growing boys- there comes a time where they start eating you out of house and home- we're there- and they are ALWAYS hungry.
Hope everyone has a great weekend-
Have you found any great thrifted treasures lately?

great finds ren! that star wars sweatshirt... i would have to wear it myself.
Anushka- I tried it on- it fits well-(boohoo my monkeys are getting big!) but the neck is a little tight so I will have them wear and when they grow out of it then I'll give it a little cut at the neck and call it mine!
OMG i soooooo remember the wooden bowls back in the day! - great finds - i haven't been thrifting for a bit - i gotta go PRONTO - i love thrifiting in the summer months!
neat, what great finds!
I love finding vintage pyrex. I always snap those up, but seems like they are getting harder to find!
OH my goodness, I want that sweatshirt for myself! Great finds, I love a good thrift trip. Minus the guilt trip from my Husband.
What fantastic finds! I love that Star Wars sweatshirt and would totally steal it from the monkeys, and that Corona tray is darling!
i want that hoodie!!! oh it's amazing!
Cool stuff! Love the cookie jar and corona tray! That lady looks like me!
score! have a great weekend!
That is a fab sweatshirt - such a great colour. I am a bit of a button addict, but being so far away from any thrift shops, i have to rely on ebay for my fix. I will be sharing some later on in the week.
We have a wooden bowl just like those but it's medium sized. I love the smaller ones!
Great finds! Especially a fan of the sweat shirt...
best. sweatshirt. ever.
excellent finds! bet that star wars hoodie would have gone for a pretty penny on ebay!
Cute sweatshirt, like the graphics. Healthy cookies are a good idea, I wonder if there is a cookbook for something like that, I'd buy it!
love all of your finds! i don't get to do any thrift shopping here. i tried... but its all so terribly expensive
(i want that tray!)
Oh wow, I kid you not, we had those wooden bowls growing up. They are still in my parents house!!
I found a Star Wars lunchbox yesterday, it was $25. Didn't buy it.
Dearest sweet ren, these are lovely finds! I especially adore that gorgeous sweatshirt and that adorable cookie jar!! Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!
Nice! I just found the most awesome castle candle thing at the thrift store. It's got little doors that open and everything. I should post a picture of it.
I like the tray. reminds me of mexico! today Goodwill had a 50% sale on the whole store. I found some pants from ann taylor loft for 4.99 and after the discount 2.50! can't beat that.
I'ld like to have the same sweat-shirt ;) and... your bowls are like a nice "souvenir" for me, because my mum used the same when I was a child.
Have a beautiful day
great finds!
i like the next-last one ;)
I'd say you really scored on this stuff!
What a great find, your boys will enjoy wearing it and then it will be Mama's turn. Yellow is one of my favorite colors.
