Sissie's "Thriftique" Weekly Finds!

Hi blogerettes!  I'm back to show yall some more of my great "thriftique" finds.  So get comfortable and come on in. 

I made some scones for you.  Hope you like them...





Grab yourself a pretty pink tea cup.....



Now, let's have a cup of tea and talk about thrifting.
Oops, I'm not sure how Aunt Tillie got  in here.....
She's been known to add a touch of
joy juice to hers......for medicinal puposes, of course.


Okay, first up is this sweet little rose pianted bowl found at
Habitat for 50 cents!


This little shelf was so ugly that no one would buy it.  So, me being me, saw potential.  I painted it white and added, yes you guessed it,
another one of those fleur-de-lis rub-ons that I am so obsessed with.


I thought this would go great with my chalkboard. And, for $1.50 I couldn't go wrong!

I have a thing for clocks and this little stainless steel
cutey had to come home with me for $4.00 from
"Bon Marche" Goodwill!
I think it needs a fleur-de-lis rub-on, don't you?


Found this great Paris wall decal at
HomeGoods.....gosh, I love that store!


I hope you enjoyed visiting today and having tea and scones.
Oh, one more thing, I wonder if my Mr. Sissie would mind it I put a fleur-de-lis on his....


Well, maybe not
~~hugs~~

Gosh darn that Aunt Tillie! She gave me the slip and now I know where she wound up! She's a sly old broad - don't let that innocent (?) expression fool you!

I love your finds, but today I love your scones even more! Me love scones. Muchly. Please pass the clotted cream.......

Shellbelle said...

Well, I found you via my new bloggy friend Kendall at Finesse Your Nest. When I saw the photo of your living room, I just knew I had to pop in. Who knew you would have tea and scones upon my arrival? Oh yes, I'm going to have a lot of fun visiting you!

Tracie Nall said...

Scones are yummy!! Now I feel an overwhelming urge to visit a coffee shop (or call my grandma for her scone recipe, but I'm sure you can guess which one of those choices will win out!)

I love the Paris decoratiion. Very cute!

Winchester Manor said...

Okay Sissie, not only do I have talent envy...now I have "thriftique" envy! Do you have treasure radar? Fabulous finds my friend and somehow I don't think Mr. Sissie would be shocked if he found a fleur-de-lis on his knickers....bwahahaha!

Love and hugs,
Karyn

Vicki said...

Oh yes, you are so shy.....not! I was loving your finds, scrolling down your post and then I got to the boxer shorts. Just think that could be a whole new fashion line. I think you should go for it!

Oh you do know how to tickle a girls funny bone. I think you should be an honorary Louisiana citizen aka "coonass" with all your fleur-de-lis obsessions! They are all beautiful. And by the way Congrats on being featured on Kendall's blog. You ARE interesting and we all knew it from Hello. XXMollye
