After morning mass I decided to have a little trip to the thrift store, after all it is Thursday. The first one was a bust. Luckily, 4 minutes down the road is another and boy did I have a good treasure hunt today!
I found a bag of 100% wool tapestry yarn. It feels the same thickness of a worsted weight yarn to me and it is very soft. I am sure that is it probably old but did not smell at all. 
and the labels say it is “moth proof”. Anybody know what process yarn is put through to make it moth proof? Anyhoo, I could not pass it up for $1.99.
these salt shakers were too cute to pass up. They go perfectly with our “drinking glasses”. These were .40 cents a piece and worth every penny.
I think this is my favorite find of the day. It is a vintage Ball jar with a metal lid that just kind of pops on and off, it does not screw on but will be perfect to carry around a little snack for Livie when we are out and about and the magic price was .99 cents.
I think this glass canteen may get Poppa to stop buying all the stoopid little water bottles that I am always finding. If not then it will be mine! I boiled it just in case but it seemed to not have been used since the lid under still had the cardboard padding, price $1.
I should not have taken these pictures of my finds on our black piano, it makes my house seem dark! Sorry…
and this beauty would be my favorite but I already have a few and have never seen the little ball jar I said was my favorite so, yeah, that little jar is still my favorite but you can never have too many of these gorgeous vintage Mason Ball jars and this one has the original glass lid…swoon!
and the best part was the price… Woa baby. This jar would sell for about $20 at a vintage store.
and I was shocked to find all in the same store, these vintage Ball freezer jam cups. The ones that Ball makes now are plastic. Getting the price stickers that have been on these forever off was not easy but they all came off. These little cups will be awesome for making yogurt, that way the kids just have to pull out a yogurt and eat it, no mess.
it was so funny, I paid less for them than what they cost twenty years ago.
they all got a good scrub and are ready to make some yogurt, or what ever else I can come up with.
Have you gone thrifting lately , what did you find?

I haven't been out thrifting lately~ But your great finds have me inspired to hunt! Thanks, lisa
Great finds. I like the shape of the canteen bottle. I also love finding bargains. Last weekend I found a pressure cooker/canner for $30. It retails for $100.
cool finds on the glassware. Unfortunately, I have had to many opportunities for some thrifting!
RasJane, That IS an amazing find and what a savings on time and money : ) Thank you for reading AND commenting. I really appreciate it!
Hi Chris (waving wildly) Long time no hear : ) Thanks for commenting!
Great finds! I especially love those little jam cups!
Those are amazing finds! I love the idea of using the vintage freezer jars for yogurt. I've been on the lookout for those for a long time. No luck yet. I might use some regular canning jars for yogurt though. I managed to find my 7yo's dream costume this week at our thrift store. He wants to be Iron Man big time. I had almost figured out how to make a workable costume that would meet his requirements and was on my way to the fabric store. I decided to stop and see what Goodwill had. Oh my gracious! They had the costume he'd seen at the store, retail $50 for only $4.99. They even had a mask for $1.99. I'm on cloud 9 about the whole thing. :)My other favorite finds are fun vintage fabrics. Awhile ago I found a darling vintage Queen flat sheet and a huge bag of bias tapes and seam tapes for only $4 each.BTW, I don't comment much, but I enjoy reading your blog and your fun creative approach to life with a large family. Thank you for taking the time to share. 🙂
