a stop at the shop

On the way to spend the afternoon with my mother last week,

I stopped at my Favorite Thrift Store to select a birthday card for a friend.

(For $.45 I find some very beautiful and appropriate greeting cards!)

 Then I made my quick pass through the store.  I was happy to add the blue and white tin

to my blue tin collection ($.10),

and how could I pass up this sweet, unmarked pottery dachshund ($.25)?
I found this puppy on ebay with a pincushion on its back!  What do YOU think?

And you!  What unexpected "treasures" have you stumbled on recently?
