While out shopping a couple weeks ago, I stopped by Anthropologie. Okay, I LOVE this store. Seriously, it is a feast for the senses. Beautiful clothes, candles, dishes and so much more. All with beautiful price tags.
I wanted this Butter Bell Crock that they had for sale. I passed it up that day but just kept thinking what a great way this would be to store my butter. It is not for sale online but I did find it on another site HERE.
Anthropologie price $18. Other website price $19.95
I liked it but not enough to spend almost $20 on one. A few weeks later, while dropping off some things at a local thrift store, I found one...for THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS. Joy!
This is the one I found!
Then a couple weeks later while shopping for some things for my daughter's Halloween costume I found something else I'd been wanting.
A while back I went to a Pampered Chef party and loved this divided dish.
The holder is $15 and then the two little square bowls that fit inside are an additional $16. I liked it but not that much.
Behold what I found at Goodwill for THREE DOLLARS! Hmmm - seeing a pattern here with the three dollar thing.
AND I like it better than the new stainless steel looking one.
Oh, I can't wait to tell you about my coffee table that Hubby re-finished. But that is for another time.
Good things come to those who wait -that's what I learned this week! For more lessons learned this week head on over to Musings of a Housewife.

Great finds and great message! I wish I had your luck at the goodwill store.
What great finds. I have those Pampered Chef dishes and love them. Got them for free when I had a party - I would not have paid that $$ for them either. I'll have to frequent my goodwill/thrift stores more often.
Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful message! Great post!
Those are great finds, and an important message! I love Goodwill!!
I love thrift store finds! I'm looking for a couple things for my kitchen and can't wait to go on a hunt!!
But...that never happens to me! I pass it up (the thing I love) and wait for a sale or something, and then they're all just gone!
I did find some goodies when I went to the thrift store the other day for the first time, though!

My luck is that I wait too long for something to be marked down on clearance and someone else buys it!
(The peanuts and candy corn, btw, delish!)
LOL! I have that pampered chef dish. I don't use it enough tho. And I didn't have much luck with the butter crock. My butter kept falling out. Let me know if it works for you.
