Some great thrifty finds...

Friday afternoon, I got off work a little early and decided to go the the little antique gallery/thrift store that I like.  I got to stroll through without rushing.  I found three things that I really like and just had to share them with you... I found this milk glass chicken.  My Grandmother had one just like it and when I saw it, I thought about her.  I'm going to put my pins in this one and keep it beside my sewing machine just like she did.

I then found this little ice crusher. I've been looking for one of these for a long time. I had one of these when my husband and I was first married and I loved it.  I don't know what happened to it. Over the years and a few moves, I guess it just went missing.  This one is in good shape and I'm going to try it out tonight.  I hope it works as good as my old one.  My refrigerator does crushed ice too but I wanted this one just because.  I'm not crazy about the color but it did remind me of the '70's and I know this is older than that. 

This Jim Shore figurine was the last thing I found.  I love her and was very excited when I saw her.  She is fairly big and stands about 12" tall.  I have three Jim Shore angels now.  I also have a Jim Shore nativity ornament and they are all beautiful.    She is also in my sewing room right now but only until I find a good place to display her and the other ones too. 

I really enjoyed shopping and plan on going again.  I don't always find things I want but I was very lucky this time.
