Thrifty Thursday: Another cat pin

 

I found a rather unusual pin recently.

Bonus! This isn't secondhand, since I purchased it new at Marshall's over the weekend. I couldn't resist the design of this shirt.

Thrifty Thursday: More pins as gifts

 

I was delighted that my sister gave me some cat pins for Christmas! I'm not sure where she found them.

I had a version of the red heart pin, but it's not quite the same:

Thrifty Thursday: Pins and 1980s CD

 

Today I have a few things to share. First is this CD. In the 1980s there was a "girl group" I really liked, but like many groups, they released a couple of albums and disappeared. I was thrilled to find one of their CDs. I've never seen any of their music on CD before. And even better, this group recently reunited and put out a new album!

Enjoy the 1980s-ness of this photo!

I also found two new cat pins. I'm in love with the rhinestone one. I don't think it's very old but I love its vintage look.

Belated Halloween 2023 pumpkin carving

 I'm a little late in posting this, but here's this year's cat-themed Halloween carved pumpkin. Ringo was curious when I was setting up the newspapers on the floor, but he didn't stick around long.

Thrifty Thursday: Halloween cat pin

 

It's timely that I found this Halloween pin last week (and I've already worn it). It's a JJ pin. JJ is a company that made lots of cat pins, but I hadn't seen this one before.

Thrifty Thursday: Cat patch and rubber stamps

 

I found two cute items recently. The item on the left is a patch. I plan to apply it to a piece of luggage. The other is a Halloween stamp set. The cat wrapped in the toilet paper just cracked me up, but the other animals are cute too.

Thrifty Thursday: Another cat pin

 

Today I have (surprise!) yet another cat pin. This one is three kitties in one!

Thrifty Thursday: More cat pins

 

I've found three new-to-me cat pins in recent weeks.

This one is neat and has "Liz Claiborne" written on the back. It was hard to photograph so please ignore the reflection.

I had the gold-colored pin on the left and found its "twin" on the right.

And finally, this Christmas pin, another one that was difficult to photograph.

Thrifty Thursday: Books and lawn decor

 

I love to read cozy mysteries with cats in them, and found the first two books in a new-to-me series recently.

And these weren't from a thrift store, but given to me new last fall as a gift. I finally was able to put them out in the yard last week. They are nearly the size of actual cats!

Thrifty Thursday: Pin and necklace

 

I have more jewelry today. A friend of mine gifted me a belated Valentine's Day gift, this adorable necklace.

I also found a Halloween pin. It's small but very cute.

Thrifty Thursday: Four cat pins

 

I was delighted to find four new-to-me cat pins in the past 10 days or so. In one visit, I found three at one time! To anyone who is wondering, yes, I do wear them. I wear one pretty much any day I go to the office (3 days per week). It's fun and often a good conversation piece.

I debated for a while if the guy was a cat, but given the long whiskers and tail, I said yes he's a cat.

Look at this trifecta! I adore the big pin; each cat has tiny green rhinestone eyes.

Thrifty Thursday: Fun kitty items

 

I haven't posted any new items in a while. First, I found this fun St. Patty's cat shirt.

I also found a solar-powered cat lawn ornament. It needed a little TLC. These are before:

After some paint and a new rechargeable battery, here's the after photos.

Thrifty Thursday: Pin and Christmas vinyl

 

I was delighted to fine two new-to-me cat pins in a thrift store recently. I really like the one that spells "cat."

I also received a belated Christmas gift from a coworker. She and I often talk about thrifting and she also loves going to antique stores. She found this Christmas 45 vinyl record and thought I would like it. Cats have been used forever to sell pretty much everything! There's no date on the album.

Thrifty Thursday: Christmas pin

 This week it's a gifty Thursday! Our friend Susan gave us this really neat Christmas pin. I've already worn it.

Thrifty Thursday: Silver cat pin

 

I found a sterling silver cat pin of a cat wearing a cowboy hat. It needed some TLC, so I'm posting photos before and after I used silver polish.

So shiny! 

Carved Halloween pumpkin, 2022 edition

 I present this year's Halloween pumpkin: Witch Hello Kitty holding a broom. I admit it's not my best work, as it was a difficult pattern. However, it's still pretty cute lit up.

Thrifty Thursday: Pins and puzzles

 

It's been a while since I've posted any thrift finds, so I have a few items this time.

First, I've found two pins recently.

I love cat puzzles and have found two of those.

I especially like the Buffalo brand of cat puzzles. They have a bunch of them.
