REDNESDAY: Thrifty Finds and Blogger Friend Gifts!

Hi Friends! Here it is, REDNESDAY once again! And it just so happens that I've come across quite a bit of RED this week. Here we go:

Yesterday I found this darling potholder at Annie's Attic, my favorite antiques store right in town! $3.00! And the red, vintage fabric was $1.00 at the Goodwill the other day.

That cute blue fabric is the backside of the kitty pot holder! Last week I paid $.50 each at a garage sale for these really old "Old Maid" cards, and this unopened package of threads!

Just today I found this wooden mushroom at the Thrift Store. It's marked Germany on the bottom. At first I thought it was a candy container...

But it's actually a really old game of Tiddly Winks, complete with instructions! $2

Oh, that blue quilt piece is a hand-sewn pillow cover that I also bought today for .50!

I keep finding these sweet gingham aprons lately! It makes me feel like I need to start collecting them...which I have no business doing! I should just sell them on Etsy! haha Aren't they cute though??

These were all at the Thrift Store last week. I've really been wanting some of these cute little potholders (as if you could actually hold a HOT pan with them), but they're always 3 or 4 dollars at the antique stores. These were $1 for the pair! That's more like it! I love the colors in this old dish cloth, and I thought the vintage S&P shakers were pretty cute too. I can't tell if that yardage of fabric is older, or a reprint, but it's cute either way! :)

OK, I have to say that I've met the SWEETEST women through blogging! I didn't realize that this would be such a positive thing in my life. And I'll revisit this topic in awhile, but for today, I also wanted to share with you some of the great things that I have received, from some dear blogging friends!

 Debby of "Cozy Blanket" recently hosted a "Vintage Golden Book Swap". I'm so thankful that she thought to do this, and put it all together! My partner was Gretchen of "Bird Nest Cottage", and she sent me the cutest batch of books ever! I've never seen "A Day At The Seashore"! It's my new favorite!

Could this be any cuter?

That's a lot of eating!!!

My nephew will love this one! I'm so glad that Gretchen sent me something with a TRUCK! My collection is quite girly, and I need a few that little boys will like too!

And last but not least, a Richard Scarry book! I'd never seen this one either, and it's darling!

Gretchen also sent the cutest little nest pin, a pretty note pad, and some beautiful strawberry stickers. Thank you so much for all of the things you sent Gretchen! You did an amazing job with this swap! :)

I was also the lucky recipient of a GIVEAWAY recently! Jill of "A Little Bit Of Everything" is such a sweetheart! To celebrate reaching 100 followers, she sent me a few very special things!

This vintage hankie belonged to her dear mother. She also sent a vintage Pyrex refrigerator dish! I recently started collecting Pyrex, so this was just perfect for me!

Jill also sent this vintage rabbit vase! She didn't even know that I have a "thing" for rabbits. I love it Jill! You were too generous! (She also sent me a cute vintage VERA scarf, but I'm going to post about that later! )

I'm linking up with Sue over at "It's A Very Cherry World", for REDNESDAY!
Be sure to visit over there for tons of cute, redness! :)

WOW! That was a long post! Thanks for following along everyone!  Love, Wellie
