Thrifty Life Thursday #5

A sad end...

This cute bird was a recent find at a thrift store. 

As with many thrift store finds, it was a tad grungy...so I

opted to send it through the dishwasher.

Much to my surprise, when I opened the dishwasher and began to unload it - the dishes were covered in grit. 
And the cute little bird was barely recognizable...

I'm not sure what material it was made of, 
but one thing for sure...it was NOT DISHWASHER SAFE. 

Bye Bye, Birdie. So glad you were Cheep Cheep Cheep.

Now, for features from Thrifty Life Thursday #4: 

Jeanette at Creating a Life shared a clever mantel construction project from a salvaged door. 

Meg from My Vintage Life shared some drool-worthy finds including vintage linens and a tiara and veil...we all need a tiara, right?

Jann's collection of vintage plaid thermos and picnic pieces are wonderful, but she really got me when she had a snow picnic with them! I would have loved to transport myself through the computer screen to sip cocoa with her at 
Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson.

Kathy at Sharing Shadymont had been searching for a clock. She found a wonderful classic at a consignment shop, which she promptly painted and it looks great! Of course, she had to completely restyle her shelves. (We totally get that, Kathy!)

24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
