Last time I posted I mentioned how it seemed like my dry spell had been broken. Boy has it ever! And I am sooo glad; I was starting to get a little desperate!
I had some great luck with turquoise this week. First I found the Butterprint 401 which I posted last time. All I needed to complete my Butterprint mixing bowl set was the ever-elusive 404. I have been watching a couple online for a while and I just couldn't bring myself to pay the $50 or so it would have cost for one. I am glad I didn't pull the trigger because I found one in the wild!
I was meeting my mom for lunch and was a bit early so I got in a little thrifting on the way. I couldn't believe my eyes- there it was, just sitting there waiting for me on the shelf. Believe me, I just about had a death grip on that sucker all the way to the register.

I <3 Butterprint!
I am so excited I finally completed this set, and it was all thrifted.

And to complete my Turquoise Trifecta, yesterday I thrifted a Needlepoint 443! I just stopped into my local Sally Ann on a whim and there she was. I still can't believe I found one- never in a million years would I expect to find a piece like this at my Salvation Army, but it goes to show that every once in a while, a gem turns up.

I think I am in LOVE!
What's wrong with me! I'm so excited for you I feel like I got them myself!!! Those are two absolutely fantastic finds!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the buying online, so expensive. I got a Gooseberry 444 for $27, which to me is A LOT!! I was so afraid I'd walk in the store and find it for $8 right after I made the purchase. That did happen, but it was DWD. Phew! I suppose I could've sold one and made my money back, but it was just the thought of "had I only waited".
