The Pomegranate Chronicles

A good day at the thrift store this week: :: A 5 cup sifter :: A wide and flat wooden spoon :: Some nice vintage fabric :: A large quilting hoop :: Total Spent: $4.25 **Don’t forget to check out my Pay It Forward- Handmade post. Leave a comment so I can send you a gift!

Something about this teapot spoke to me. Sitting atop three pedestal feet, this solid brass pot is colored with inlay and beautiful flower etchings. The wooden top shows signs of wear where the stain has been worn off, but I don’t mind. I am not sure what it is about this pot exactly, but I knew I [...]

It’s been about a year since I converted my office closet into a studio space. In the last year, bins, boxes,and piles of disorganization have taken over. This is a space that needs to serve as a “work from home” office and craft studio. I am struggling to find an organized space that can contain [...]

I am such a HUGE fan of amber glass. While my MIL was in town, we hit a local “junk” store. She was quick to find this beautiful fruit bowl in amber glass and knew immediately that I’d love it. She was right, of course. This pretty thrift was $6.00. It’s perfect! (thank you FMIL!)

A perfect blue Lightning jar for my little treasures. Not sure which treasures will go in this yet- but it was an exciting thrift!

I hit the thrift store this week and just nailed it! I had to haul myself out of there. I found stuff around every corner. I have been DYING for today so I could share them with you! I went with the goal of stocking my camping kitchen. As you can see, I did well. [...]

I have had my eyes out for one of these for a long time. I finally found one at my local thrift store and snagged it. It is the perfect way to display cakes, cookies and any other goodies Griffin and I bake. Of course the best part about this thrift, it was $3.00! Happy [...]

I love thrifting. I love the way I feel when I find something I really like, cheap. We have a great thrift store near us. It’s not the fancy/trendy kind, but one for a good cause. It tends to be a really good drop off for donations. I have been looking for new items to [...]

Griffin wanted to be Batman this year. He has been obsessed with super heros and comic books these days. He is a boy through and through. I wanted to be sure he had a great costume, but didn’t want to spend a lot of money (of course). So I purchased a long sleeve black shirt [...]

In the true spirit of “Reduce, Reuse & Recycle”, I have been frequenting the local thrift stores. Since having a kid, it just doesn’t make sense to use something for a few months and throw it out to spend forever in a landfill. I have found that many of my friends are doing the same. A [...]
