Thrifted for $9

I bought this simple white Noritake mug.

My favorite part is the bottom that has the logo and information—I love the type. 

I got this set of four Stegorcraft spoons that I thought were really cute.

I also got this ¼ teaspoon—I looked for other sizes, but only found this one. I liked the long handle.

Then I got two 2 quart Cuisinart pots for $3 each.

I was going through the items in my basket to make sure I wanted everything before checking out, when I decided to return one item. Instead of being lazy and just sticking the item in the wrong place, I went across the store to return it to its correct location. As I was making my way towards the checkout area, I noticed something on the ground—a wood inbox tray. I picked it up and knew I wanted it. I immediately thought I could take it to work and replace the black plastic inbox tray (that my workplace provided me) with this awesome wood and metal inbox. I happily spent $2 for it (it was my favorite purchase of the day).

Everyone seemed to notice my new inbox at work (I suppose it’s pretty hard to miss—its two tiers makes it fairly tall). I really love it. It’s something that’s always in my sightline, and I find it much prettier to look at then my old inbox.

Thrifted for $5.74

Recently, I got a few random thrifted items. I got this thermometer at an estate sale for $1. I thought it was really cute and liked the happy yellow color.

The serving fork, meat thermometer and measuring spoons I got at one thrift shop for a grand total of 50 cents.

I got this gray belt at another thrift shop for $1.49. I really like the braided gray elastic material—it’s awesome. It stretches to fit your waist and you can put the prong through any part of the belt.

At another thrift store I bought 1.375 yards of black and white fabric for $2.75. It’s a thicker fabric (perhaps meant for upholstery); I liked the graphic nature of it. It was rolled up and I didn’t take the time to unroll it because I was in a time crunch. When I opened at home, I saw there were some stains—which totally sucked. But I’m hoping I can just use sections of the fabric to make something.
