I asked David to take Thursday off from work so we could spend some Jack free time together. I debated a bit about whether we should catch a movie and have lunch or thrift and have lunch. Thrifting won. (It always wins, lol.)He and I always joke that he is my lucky penny. And last week was no exception. We found good stuff together. 2 bags full of bright buttons.
A piece of Hull pottery that nearly made me pee in my pants. (I wanted to jump up and down and scream, no really? Did I just find this in the thrift? And it is in PERFECT condition? For WHAT price?)
A sweet pair of dishtowel curtains.
Yards and yards of this gorgeous vintage fabric. 
And a quilt top. (Which also made me want to jump up and down and scream, no really? Did I just find this in the thrift?)It is stretching out wierdly on the fence because it is just a top. It's certainly not the most beautiful quilt in my collection, but it is a true scrap quilt. Pieces of clothing, scraps of feedsacks, and the red sashings are made with wool. (I was afraid they were polyester from a distance.)
That husband of mine, he is a lucky penny.
More photos on Flickr, including fabric close ups on the quilt, the rest of the buttons, and a tablecloth we bought.
Off to fold more laundry with me. Enjoy your Sunday.

ReplyDeleteHull pottery at the thrift store? I'm movin' to St. Louis.
ReplyDeleteWow! Do you rent your husband out for shopping days? Although it's probably a bit too far!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you found some great stuff! I love the pottery piece. Your husband is certainly good luck!
ReplyDeleteI either need to borrow your husband or thrift in your shops!! I can't believe your finds...every week I am more impressed, and more depressed about my finds! I hope you both will have many more thrifting days together1
ReplyDeletewow - not only are your finds amazing, but the fact that your husband would spend the morning thrifting is just ... amazing. what kind of thrift shops do you tend to browse?
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Your hubby really is a lucky penny. You have a great find in him too.

ReplyDeleteWell my favorite are those button cards. I love them. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteRyan hardly goes with me when I am thrifting - usually he is watching the boys. Maybe I'll have to see if we can get away and do it together - it sure works for you! Love those buttons!
ReplyDeleteWow Sarah! Awesome finds. You're going to have to take David with you everytime. My mom loves Hull pottery -- she needs to hit the shops!
