THRIFTY THURSDAY



Today was good. 
Today was fun. 
Tomorrow is another one. 
~Dr. Seuss
I picked this little 'vase' up
at my local Goodwill a little
while ago for a meer $.79!
Since coming in my home
it's purpose has been to
hold toothpicks since I really
had no idea of it's original use,
I just thought it was cute.
Then I saw this on Heidi's
site. Now I know and as soon
as I have more ripe tomatoes
my little 'vase' will have
a new job! It's always
fun to visit a thrift store
and find a little 'something
something' isn't it?

    Tracey - what a find! And for only 70 cents. I love stumbling up on treasure like that. I wish we had a goodwill. We have a church thrift shop, but it is small and mostly clothes. Looking forward to yard sale season though. Blessings ~ Elizabeth

    My dad is an avid toothpick user. I love the red swirls around it. Perfect use for it, although that Heidi is brilliant so I think her use is quite apt as well.

    What a little treasure!!! My Dad was a big coffee drinker---and in restaurants, he used to be served his cream in little "pitchers" like that....single serving size. I think it would make a marvelous vase---or dressing container--or toothpick holder--or doublepoint needle container! Have fun with it!

    So cute! The red design is delightful and I love that link you shared with us. I'm always amazed at how people can photograph food. Happy Thursday to you!

    I have several of these (though I really love the design on yours) because they are so useful. Yes, flowers and sauces... and toothpicks and cream and ...

    Blessings, Debbie

    Would you believe me if I told you that I have been on a hunt for a creamer and sugar pair similar to this!!! And for 79 cents?! That is awesome :).

    btw, Dr. Seuss quotes are the best :).
