Hello ladies...it's time for NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS...yippee! Last Thursday Mr.CC had a meeting out of town and ask me if I wanted to go along with him...well you all know what that means...a day of thriftin' in a NEW city...sure honey I will go with you and help out with the driving (how sweet of me). I went straight to my computer and looked up all the thrift stores in Birmingham...printed a list and I was set to go! I'm not a morning person...so getting up at 3:30 a.m. to go check out some new thrift stores is a huge sign that I must be a thriftaholic! Hey...it could be a lot worse...thank goodness it's only thriftin'! With Marge (my GPS)...I made it to four stores and found some goodies that I'm sharing with you today. Don't forget to check back on Thursday to see who made the HIGHLIGHTS...it might be YOU!

I love all your purchases. I am especially fond of your milk glass butter dish, because I collect milk glass. You got some great treasures. If I were you, I would go with the hubby more often. Love & blessings from NC!
Hi Linda! I love your finds...especially the linen towels and that wonderful butter dish! Lovely! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
Those towels are gorgeous. Definitely worth getting up at 3:30 am for, I think. Thank you for hosting this party.
Good you are up and running now. I love your finds. I use to go out of town with my husband to and it is fun to shop in a new city.
Oh Linda, those linens are to die for!! So crisp and gorgeous! Love the silver candlestick! You can never have too many silver candlesticks! I just love them!!

I love both of the trays you found. I am on a mission for trays right now b/c I realized I don't have enough in my house! Also like the tea towels, but I have no idea how to monogram. I think I need to learn!
Linda I love your finds! I also am a thriftaholic and would get up before dawn if i knew I had new thrift stores to find!
Thanks so much for letting me party at your place today!! Had fun seeing so many neat thrift finds!
