It's Thrifty Thursday @ Tales of Bloggeritaville . Don't forget to head over there and check it out. But first, here are some of my thrifty purchases from last Saturday at the "100 Mile Yard Sale".
*
These 2 cookbooks (+ a paperback novel) and this great Peter Pan tumbler -- my new favorite water glass -- was my 1st purchase of the day and set me back all of $1.
These other 2 cookbooks cost me $1 each.
I also got a box of 28 magazines - Gourmet, Eating Well & Better Homes & Gardens - for $2. (And yes, I'm reading them right away and passing them on!)

We stopped at this this one century home where the owners had an antique shop in the barn at one time. They had some great stuff for even greater prices. This table full cost me $10: a stemmed beer glass, colorful plate, 2 bowls & matching plates (isn't that pattern and color great!), a Santa candy dish, bunny & cart ornament, new spatula, this wonderful antique flour sifter, a really unique measuring "cup" with measuring "spoons" in the lid, and a really pretty yellow footed glass dish (which currently holds glass sand-beads & shells). 
*
*Another stop was at a tiny little church in Western Shore. They didn't have a lot (at least, not by the time I got there), but they had good prices. I got a mini stepper machine for $3, brand new double-sized fleece sheets (a must when you host students from warmer climates) for $10, and these 2 cute Xmas candles for 50 cents each (only one works consistently!). 
*
*I couldn't pass up these little chicken salt & pepper shakers for $1. And one of the chefs cost me 10 cents at a yard sale, while the other one was 69 cents at Value Village (later that day).
*
*My final purchase was a novelty item that really appealed to me. These are plastic crow clothespins for 50 cents. Cute huh! I'm not sure how I'll use them, but they're too unique to actual put on the clothesline.
*
*How exciting! The beginning of yard sale season here on the south shore!
