Thrift Store Finds

This week's trips to GW (Goodwill) were quite successful.  I love our GW Outlet store (I know kind-of-an oxymoron right?).
I was delighted to score a Fenton Carnival Glass candle holder!  And for the price of just .39/lb., it kind of felt like stealing, but hey, I did pay!

Another interesting piece was a vintage iron.  I just love the shape and look of it.

My sister made a gorgeous quilt by felting old wool sweaters, so I have a collection growing to do the same.  I have also been picking up cashmere sweaters to make a baby blanket....oh so soft!

I also found some great clothing pieces that I plan to upcycle into children's clothes....I love being able to use pieces that already have zippers done for me.  (Zippers scare me for fear of ruining an almost complete project!)
