Thrift Finds for the Week!

I went thrifting a lot more than I normally do this week.  I think it was because I was stuck at home with a sick kid, so when I could get out quick, my car headed for the distraction of thrifting....so relaxing and fun!  I found the two Crazy Daisy green bowls at the "cute little old lady store" down from our church.  I must say...someone has told them about the demand for Pyrex...they jacked up the prices.  I paid more for these then I should have, but I really wanted this pattern.  They had a gorgeous casserole with a stand that looked like a promotional pattern I've never seen before.  I drew in my breath at the price.  $40.  Are you kidding?  At a thrift store????  It is amazing though.  I will take a photo of it when I go back...I'm sure it will still be there at that price.  The little Colonial Mist bowl was hiding at Goodwill for $1.99, and the Homestead pair, at Value Village, $6 for both.  GW and VV are inconsistent in pricing...looks like I hit it at a good time!  Anyone else finding the pricing inconsistent?  I'm looking forward to garage sale season...cheap Pyrex!  Have any of you had good luck at garage sales?   Stacey Johnson at www.gfpastorswife.blogspot.com
