More Madison Thrift-consin

Seriously, I mean if you didn't chuckle when you read the title of my last post, there is something wrong with your sense of humor. I had to use it again! Just to remind you...

A special treat for you this week: photos of Jessie & Dave's finds from the auteur herself, Grand Empress of Photographic Magic, Ms. Jessie Eisner-Kleyle. Honestly, when I saw these I gasped: they are all such thoughtful, beautiful pics of amazing finds. While she has many talents, I think that JE-K has a true eye for the objet. But, I only wish I had an MTSS book deal so I could hire her full-time to photograph all of my FINDS. I'm getting a new camera and making her put me through object photography boot camp.

Yo ho ho! New art for the wall...she is going to paint it some fabulous color. We'll see.

A double-shot of a single chair. Very elegant and one step closer to having four chairs for the cute new dining room table...

Beautiful orange Pyrex! I love this. I am going to steal it next time I visit.

Another lovely little casserole with pretty little birds. See what she baked in it here.

A round spinning thing for the new table. We actually invented a better name for it, but that brilliant new word slips my mind.

Success! The fourth chair!

I had an orange pyrex and finally the orange came off so bad I gave it away. It was great. I also found turquoise at Goodwill. Daughter took them. There were 2 bowls, small and large. Looked like they were dip/chip missing that little gold thing if I remember correctly from the 50s.
I still have another turquoise rectangle baking dish. Keep posting your finds. Fun.

I did love the title the first time and the second time. Considering I live about 1 1/2 hours from Madison, Thrift-consin, I may have to go with you next time you are out shopping. I just hate driving in that town, especially by the University.
Let me know when you are coming back, I would love to meet a true thrifty person, I just play one on TV. ;)

Hello! I just wandered onto your blog and thought I'd say hi! I'm a thrift store fan too! My most recent cool find was a dictionary published in 1860!
