Gifts of Thrift from Friends

I want to take a minute to say that not all the thrifty things I own, I have bought for myself. Some have been from friends and family. This is such a fun thing when it happens, simply because it's a nice feeling to know that someone was thinking about me when they found the item. Plus I'm pretty easy, it doesn't take something expensive to win my heart. Here are two of my favorites:

 Porcelain Hand

My Aunt Cindy found this for me last summer. She knew I'd been looking for one for a while. It's been almost a year since we last saw each other (Amazing how time gets away from you!) and she gave it to me at breakfast yesterday. As soon as I got home I put in on my vanity, and organized all of my rings. It's very pretty and makes my rings look more like sculpture, don't you think?

Ceramic 1960's Deer

This was from my friend Susan. She had been telling me that she found me a present, and when I went to her house for a craft day, I saw it on top of one of her displays, when I asked her where she found the sweet little dear, she said "do you like it?" and after I said "I LOVE IT!", she said, "Good! I bought it for you, that was your present!" I was elated that it was mine. I love to look at this little deer, she just makes me happy! What's even more fun is she said she only paid .25 cents.
