Gifted Treasures

Hello Fellow Thrifters and Friends,

   What a wonderful week it has been. I got to spend some time with a dear friend, who is also a fellow lover of all things vintage and thrifted. We were supposed to head off to the thrift stores, but got to gabbing and before we knew it the stores had long been closed. So worth it though. Sharing treasures and stories with this dear friend is one of my favorites.

 She surprised me by giving me some wonderful treasures...


My dear friend knows about my love of Pyrex, and she lovingly gave me her extra set of primary Pyrex dishes. I was speechless (which by the way is a miracle for me) After trying to convince her that I should not take these lovelies I gave in and I am pleased as can be to own this special set. I am still blown away by her sweet generosity.  

Just for fun here are some more shots...



Happy Heart

She also gifted me this wonderful yellow wire basket




I just love thoughtful gifts, and even better are thoughtful gifts given in love.

Have you been gifted anything lovely lately? If so please link up so I can see your treasure.

Smiles,
The Joyful Thrifter

P.s Scarlet over at Scarlett loves Elvis is having a wonderful giveaway. Please visit her blog for a chance to win some great treasures!

  1. I love gifting thrifted items! I think its much more worth seeing other people's reactions, satisfaction, and pure appreciation than any measly cents I might've spent on it.
    I have a few friends that are true thrifters too.. and to share stories is such an awesome experience to share with them!
    I love this post, thanks for sharing!!
    (If I can find some, post it, i'll link you to some items i've gotten gifted to me)

  4. Wow; I doubt seriously that you could have gotten any sweeter deals thriftin' than you did from your friend.

    Thanks for linking to the party. I hope you will join me for Time Travel Thursday, each week.

    Blessings,
