I've got the blues...

OK, so thrifting this week was so much fun!  I got a couple of awesome things, but the bad news is it's all for me :)  Nothing to share or send to the shop, oh, except a silk scarf!

And everything was blue, or teal, or a combination.  I found an awesome workhorse of a Singer in a beautiful tealy colour along with the original wooden case.  OK, so no one but me will see it in the basement in my sewing "room" but I love it to death!  And it works great so far.

I also found another Liberty of London silk scarf.  Really pretty.  I just wish I was more of a scarf girl, just like I wish I was more of a vest girl...I just can't pull them off.
And last but not least, my most awesome (I say that alot, I think) find. I know you'll agree.  A large, very large, Le Creuset French Oven.  I believe it's a 12.5L.  It is around 11" in diameter.  So AWESOME!  I felt like I was getting away with something, walking around the thrift store with it.  It was $5.00.  Really.  The outside is nearly perfect - the inside is a little rough, but nothing that bad!  It works perfectly.  AND, it matches the other oval Le Creuset oven I found a few years ago at a Value Village.  For $6.00.  Am I making you jealous yet?  Sorry for the crappy picture.  Do not photograph in front of a sunny window.  Photography 101.  I was in a hurry ;)

  4. I am definitely jealous! ;) AMAZING finds. Vintage sewing machines are the best, aren't they? I love it when something vintage is both useful and decorative.

  6. A huge Le Crueset pot for $5 is a steal, but an AQUA BLUE Le Crueset for $5? That's like winning the thrift lottery!! What a find!

  7. I can't believe you found a Le Crueset Pot for $5, I would love to find any of their stuff, I love their stuff. And that is an awesome color which I have been wanting something in that color!! They are guaranteed for life so if the inside is rough, call them.
