PSSSST...I'm no longer blogging here!

Seriously, I shoulda had my mom-in-law take a picture of me and my overflowing cart before she left. I would've been embarrassed to be seen with me. Don't think about that too hard like I just did.
Hit the ReStore first, fueled up with some coco-freeze thing at a coffee shop, then attacked the Salvation Army Thrift. I didn't even get pictures of everything I got, but suffice it to say, there weren't no room left in the Honda after I was thru.
Here's a rundown.....
'Nother smallish milkglass vase, a wee bowl to match the vintage dishes I've been trying to collect, and a beautifimus brown transferware platter. All these pretties are also resting on a white linen hemstitched table topper I snagged for 60 cents on the dollar. Yep.
Love.
And one o'these:
For sitting these three pretties on:
Again, love.
More ever-loving hobnail milkglass on a delicious oval platter....do we notice some hoarding themes going on here?
No? Well, what if I throw in a collage-y collection of random white plates I also pinched?
And I haven't even shown you the entire plastic ice-tray full of glass apothecary spice jars, the Ethan Allen end table, vintage dresser top mirror, REAL beadboard cabinet doors, and a funky old window doohickey I just had to have. Oh yeah, and the cheap sandpaper blocks.
Yeah, I basically owned the thrift stores today.
That's how I do it.
Linking up with FJ Donna's Saturday Night Special. and SH Rhoda's Thrifty Treasures. and Linda's Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays and Kathleen's White Wednesday.
'Cause my stuff is so dang pretty (and mostly white).

Wow, you did get a lot of stuff! I love all of the white glassware. Your post title is funny because hubs and I have been watching Hoarders on Netflix and it has been making me squirm. No more thrifting until I sell some of what I have! :-)

SO jealous! I need to get out and hoard some more stuff from your GW. Looks like you have a lot more fun stuff to choose from than I do. Thanks for letting me drool and covet all over your fancy new stuff!

Holy schmoly! I bow to you! I also want to see those cabinet doors. I was at the restore yesterday and passed some up because they had no tags and I was running short on time. Maybe I should go back for some. They may still be there!
Oh my GOSH!!!!! Those white plates, I want them all. I was in the thrift today and I brought home free rusty tomato cages. Nice goin' in comparison. I need a life.
Donna
LOL- Maybe your Mom-in-law would have been embarassed to take a picture of you with your cart? lol
Love your finds...especially those plates! You did good, girl! Diana
Wow - you found some great stuff. Very lovely.

Love your style & your blog! I'm getting ready to re-do my dining room, can't wait! Thanks for the ideas. I'm new to blogging, when you have a moment please stop by visit and "Follow" my blog. I enjoyed my visit today!

Cindy it is not hoarding when you buy really pretty things and organize them beautifully like you do. Of course my haul from the last three thrifting trips are all in a disorganized mess. Do you think they have meds for compulsive thrifting? After thinking about that it doesn't matter I am not taking them I love thrifting.

What great finds!
Nice things! love all the plates.
Wow!!! SCORE!!! LOVE the transferware platter!! LOVE IT!!! Beadboard doors....OMGOSH!!! Can't wait to see those!
Great day out thrifting Cindy!
Have a good weekend!
Polly
it is so dang pretty!!!
My gosh you got some great stuff.
I want to go thrifting with you.
Wow! You really lucked out! I never seem to find that many great things at the thrift stores around here! I love the milk glass vases, I have a bunch of it, too :) Sounds like you had a fun day!
You really hit the mother lode! Congratulations!

OH! I just love all your treasures you snagged! I'm hitting my local thrift stores today... perhaps your good luck will rub off and I'll make a haul as well! I'm trying to get rid of some of the stuff I don't LOVE to make way for more goodies though! I think you said it right when you called it "hoarding"!! LOL!
Tania
PS. Thanks for commenting on my desk redo, I LOVE it!!!
Your stuff IS so dang pretty! I don't think it's hoarding if you use it and have a place for it all. But that could just be my denial talking. :D
I want to shop at your thrift stores. There are a grand total of THREE, yes THREE that in my area, and they mostly have junk. Not good junk like your junk, but junk. Plastic crap.
Now I've got the thrifty bug. okaybye~ Suzette
Yes it is! I see those random white plates on a wall somewhere. How come I never find goodies at these stores anyway?
Brenda
yes your stuff is dang pretty; thought I wouldn't use the word "dang" ...
have you ever seen this, tho?

ok maybe is a smidge different.
but still, you're a trend.
Some great stuff you found. Damn we would be fighting over the same stuff if we were anywhere near each other in the local thrift. Don't you just adore a good haul?
Wowee! You hit the jackpot. I'm drooling over the white plates and transferware. If you are worried about hoarding, I'm sure we could lighten your load, haha.
oh man, now my Christmas present it ruined! I done saw that Alfred Meakin platter that you picked up for me! Law girl, but you do make things look dreamy. I'm jonesing to junk - but I'm trying to be good and deal with all the junk I already have. I am getting mighty picky about what I'd buy - but I would buy all that you bought. Fighting would ensue - and then - well, it wouldn't be pretty - at all.
Did you leave stuff for any one else?? Only kidding........you hit the jack pot.
I like the colored mason jar.....colored glass is my favorite.
Cindy you crack me up! LOL You sound just like me in the thrift stores...my buggy is loaded and the people behind me in line are looking at me like..."what are you going to do with all that junk". If they only knew how my little brain works! :)
Hey, glad you like my fall decor, it was SO fun to make and put together! :) You asked about my window. I found that behind my mom and dad's house and it had rotten wood and everything else on it! I took it home and wood puttied it, sanded, painted, put on the glass knobs at the top and built the shelf underneath. Shew..that was some work! The pics were just printed off on my computer, then I cut some black art paper the size of the panes. I attached the pics to the art paper with double stick tape and then I could attach the black paper to the back of the frame with tape (pic facing out) and no one could see it because of the paper. :) Did that make sense?
Here is a guest blogpost I did on it if you want to visit Robyn's blog and read about it. :)
