This past weekend was spent in eastern North Carolina. I was sure that I would find some little treasure in our travels. We visited several antique shops, and even the Sleepy Poet in Charlotte which houses 55,000 square feet of antique goodies.
I came away from our trip with no found treasure. But all is not lost! I paid a visit to our local Hospice Thrift store. They were busy restocking shelves as I browsed around. I found this pretty little glass plate.
I thought it was so unique with the little handles. It goes very nicely with my fall candle.
I also found these cute little fall pillows for about 50c a piece.
But that is not all!
I found this crochet piece in the bottom of a bucket that had napkins in it.
Now let me tell you something. About 25 years ago, I saw one of these pieces at my hubby's aunts house. I loved it, and kept a look out whenever I stopped in an antique shop. Oh I've found them before, but they were BIG bucks. Well the buck stopped here, because it was a whopping $1.29 at the thrift store!
And there still one more! And ooooo I am so excited about this one.
I kept digging around in this napkin bucket. And then I saw it........
Now peeps, I never would have dreamed to find this kind of treasure. It is such a beautifully crocheted baby bib. And, are you ready, all for the grand total of -
$1.49!!!
All I can say is.......... keep thriftin'!
Please be sure to stop by and visit Colorado Lady's blog as she hosts VTT. She has lots of places to scout out, who are showing off their vintage goodies today.
I've also signed up with Thrift Store Thursday. Take a peek!

The crochet pieces are interesting and look like good bargains.
I loved and enjoyed seeing all your great bargains. However, I do not recall seeing a baby bib like that. It is darling.
Wow, Those are prices I would love! The bib
is gorgeous. I never knew they made bibs that
look like this. How are you going to display this bib? :) Just wondering
I love everything that you're sharing today! I've never seen a baby bib like that. I wonder if it was ever used, because it looks to be in great condition. Baby food is notorious for staining! And I'm happy for you that you found that crocheted bread piece, at your price. Love the little fall pillows too!
Happy VTT!
Were you doing the Thrifting Happy Dance when you found your crocheted bread piece? Isn't it fun to find something you have been wanting...and for only $1.29!! You found some great stuff.
Oh my gosh...you really hit the jackpot!
Thanks for sharing!
Living it up at Lakewood,
Cindy
Super prices on those great pieces of the past! Congrats on your luck in finding them!
What a special baby that would have a bib like this! It is gorgeous! Great finds!
What a good thrifting trip! Good job! I'm going out again tomorrow, I think.
That bib is SOOO pretty. It is just absolutely priceless. What a find!
what fab finds..i love the Bread doily :)
Wow, that was a really good finds. I love them all and happy I wasn't there with you coz I would have got them first LOL! Enjoy Natima
Very special finds. Could the baby bib be something to be used over Sunday clothes just for drivel? A normal fabric bib would cover or replace this when it was time to eat?
What lovely treasures you found, the crocheted BREAD doily is wonderful.

It looks like you found some wonderful treasures! Good for you!
That baby bib is amazing - and that must have been some neat baby! Cause my son was too messy for a bib like that!
Oh you lucky girl! It certainly pays to dig through everything in a shop, doesn't it? Those are incredibly sweet and for an incredibly great price!
Okay, I wanna go shop now.
It's AMAZING the new appreciation I have for thrift stores!! I am now able to look with new eyes and love them even more. Congrats on your great finds - I want that baby bib! ♥
Fabulous finds and I have a few of the crocheted bread doilies framed. Thank you for sharing and also your visit to my blog.
Ohmy, I LOVE all your finds! Wow, how awesome to find these treasures at such great prices!
Nothing better than a vintage find, unless of course it is a cheap vintage find. good for you, they are beauties!
Would one actually USE that gorgeous baby bib on a BABY????? Can you just picture it with mashed sweet potatoes and carrots all gooed into it?????
Wow! I've never seen a bib like that before. Too pretty to use.
I think we need to shop together!! Where do you live? What great finds....I adore that bib.
Wow, you found some charming treasures at such affordable prices!! I especially love the little bib. Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi
The last time I was at The Sleepy Poet I didn't find anything either! But the other treasures you found are wonderful. Imagine a baby wearing that bib!! I am having a welcome fall party. I'd love it if you joined in. You can find out about it on my blog.

What a beautiful baby bib! Those little fall pillows are so cute!
