A dollar well spent...

UPDATE: For those who were interested in my sampler from yesterday's post, I just updated that post to include links to some really great cross-stitch sampler designs, including the LIVE TODAY one that I stitched. And wait until you see the Jane Austen one I'm thinking of ordering! Love the quotation on it!

************************************

Amanda and I had planned to visit a relative on the Cape today, but at the last minute our trip was postponed until next week...


Since we were just about on our way out the door, we headed over to Clinton to hit a few shops...


We popped into a little hospital auxiliary thrift shop (the same place I bought this cat print for my family room)....



... and I spotted these two white hobnail (jars? planters? containers? I'm so bad at coming up with words to describe certain items). The tops are scalloped; the front and back have a hobnail design while the sides have long and short bars (as seen in the photo above)...


...I thought 25 cents apiece was a pretty good price. The bottoms are embossed with the words: Oven Ware - Fire King - Made in USA, but I doubt that I'll be using them in the oven!


I also spotted this sweet little pair of floral pierced earrings priced at only 50 cents (I didn't have to think long or hard about that purchase!)...
All in all, I think it was definitely a dollar well spent!
