thrifty joy

::  large vintage quilt  $2.00::

:: wooden bowls $1.49 each ::

I am a simple woman with simple pleasures.

I am also an inefficient sewer and an even less productive knitter so it thrills me when I find brand new or lightly used handmade items for a song at our local thrift shops.

No one seems to value these crafts anymore.

I have been searching for wooden bowls and utensils online for months now, but just couldn't justify the price tag (not that the items aren't worth it).  I was quite pleased to find these beautiful, made in Canada, wooden bowls for $1.49 each.  A perfect, toddler proof plastic alternative!

Oh, and this quilt.

I have been wanting a wonderfully worn patchwork quilt for years now.  One made out of practicality rather than beauty.  I couldn't believe my luck when I stumbled upon this $2.00 beauty at the Salvation Army this morning.

It's the small triumphs that make this girl happy.

go gently + be wonderful
