This ruby-red beauty is part of a pair of hand-embroidered potholders I picked up at SVDP last week. I think they were only a couple dollars or something like that.Some of you might know about my passion for second-hand goodies. In fact, I love any kind of alternative exchange system (i.e., thrift shopping, yard sales, co-ops, potlucks, etc.). They provide more good stuff than I can believe: environmental-smartness, cheapness, acessibility, and fun. Here are two more used finds for the kitchen:
Fabric folk art coasters. $1.99 from SVDP on Wellington. (I still haven't had the heart to get coffee rings on these little sweeties).

I am absolutley thrilled with your new hobby, as I felt the same when was a little more than your age and would pick up these rare finds, and only pay a few dollars or even cents. It is fun to decide to do a room in a certain theme, i.e. pigs and then try and find all these pigs items, When you get tired of them you just give them to someone else to enjoy, and start all over all.
lets go shopping.
I sometimes wonder how far behind we have come with our excesses...fascinations with all things new and used.
