Thrifty Thursday

It's been awhile since I've joined in with Leigh at Tales from Bloggeritaville for her Thrifty Thursday party so I thought today I'd join in and show you something I picked up at the GW after Christmas. I'm also joining in with a few other linky parties I've recently discovered. If you'd like to participate also, the links are listed below.

Since I started selling on eBay back in November, my thrifting has been mainly for that purpose. One of my personal goals this year has been to declutter so I haven't picked up things for myself, in fact, I've been doing the opposite by selling off things and donating on a regular basis.

After the new year though, my Goodwill got bombarded with donations (as I'm sure they do every year) and they had things marked down low, very low! I spied this little dish and immediately thought eBay but since then, I've changed my mind. I'm keeping this pretty little jewel for myself! This delicate French dish is labeled "Piluvuyt Francs" and cost me a whopping .25 cents! Yes, .25 cents!




For me, that's the thrill in thrifting. You just never know what you'll find out there!

That is darling! So perfect with your tablecloth!

I've never sold anything on ebay before, only bought!
I'm a little bit addicted.

I'm never jealous of anyone's dishes/plates, as I'm not much of a collector - have the odd one, but this one I absolutely adore.

Great find! So lucky!

You have a knack for finding stuff - I can't seem to be so lucky

What an adorable plate! I am a lover of plates so this really caught my eye! I am also trying to declutter and trying to sell on Etsy! Going slowly but working on it! Thanks for joining Junkin Finds Friday! hugs, Linda

I would be thrilled with a find like that too!

I love GW but haven't been in the past month. Last time I went I scored a great deal on books for Luci.

What a cute little dish! I am always amazed at what can be found in the thrift stores. I would much rather spend my money in them than in retail stores...

That is just darling and I would have snatched it right up too! Thanks so much for linking up to Inspiration Friday!
