While My husband & I set out after Christmas to look at a few Farms in Miss. & Tenn.. I was able to get in a teeny bit of thrifting!! My Nancy Jo would have been So Proud!!!!
I found the coolest old Chenille Bedspread!! it has an old Cow Boy Motif on it! I paid a whopping $4.00 for it! Not sure if it was intended to be a twin or a full.. looks to have been chopped into a bit.. but the integrity of our Cow Boy is still intac..! Really cute..
Also got a Large Zip loc bag of odd Doillies & things for $2.00 THREE Aprons.. ALL so pretty for $4.00 each.. ( Yes.. $4.00 was the magic number it seemed..)
A neat old tin spice type shaker.. all worn & primitive looking.. Nice for Cinnamon toast I'm thinkin'! That was $2.00..
A really funny little find.. must have been a promotional deal for stores or something.. a Magnet.. A miniature Pitcher of a replica of.. oh crud.. I'm drawing a blank & can't think of the name of the dishes!!!!! The dishes our Moms all had.. Then We all started in collecting again.. They weren't even all that glorious looking really! Just a solid color.. no flowers or prints on them.. remember? help me out.. They came in SO many diffferent colors.. & they actually still make them now.. But each plate or bowl or saucer can each be a different color.. but it will be one solid color! Dang I can't believe I am drawing a complete blank on the name! ANYWAY!! It's a TEENY little Magnet Pitcher.. & Yes.. It was $ 2.00!
ok.. I think this is everything BUT!!!!! My ALL time favorite thing that I saved for last to tell you! UGH!! THE BEST!!!! I just LOVE Enamel Ware! & THIS little thing has to be my PRIZE of ALL Enamel Ware yet! IT IS A CHILD'S CHAMBER POT!!!! Light Blue!!! SO DANG CUTE!! I can't Stand it!!
Who says i don't have a pot to piss in! I paid $9.00 for my lovely little Pot with a nice little handle on it!!
Picture to come.. But I just wanted to share..
OHHhhhhhhhh Fiesta Ware.. Whew!! Now I can Sleep !!
Thanks Nancy Jo.. Your Honorable jr. Acheiver, Kathie !! Thought you'd be proud!

Kathie, Well my goodness I better get out there tomorrow and find something good or I will loose my standing here. You did get a lot of good things. I remember that cowboy bedspread. The dishes are fiestaware right? I don't think I SPELLED that right but it seems like that is the one you are trying to think of. Now you need to figure out how to do pictures someplace so we can see all the things you get. Nancy Jo
