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 ;)
Love this colour and love these finds.x
ReplyDeleteNice colors...the sewing machine is awesome and looks so durable. Incidentally I actually wore mostly teal on Easter :)
ReplyDeletewow the Crueset really is amazing and $5? what a score! i also love those colours!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe sewing machine is amazing. The other items are great too!
ReplyDeleteA 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.

i'll give that a try, thanks!
DeletePerfect colours, I adore the sewing machine, I have one in a very similar colour, I keep meaning to get it serviced so I can use it. Great find.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that color...and that sewing machine is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of the Le Creuset! What a steal! That's one of those things on my "someday I must find this" list. And in such a great color, too. Well done :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Love finding LC at the thrift.
