Thrifty Find- Enamelware Ladle

Hi Friends!

One of my favorite thrift stores

finally opened! 

With restrictions and shorter hours of course.

I was able to do a quick run through.

I found this enamelware ladle, cheap and chippy.....

just the way I like it !







I was excited about about my 

first purchase in months.

I  knew I wanted to plant some succulents

in the bowl.

Just fill with potting soil and a few small cuttings.


Now I am on the lookout for more.

You really can't just have one.....

I feel this is the beginning of a new collection !








Have you been out thrifting yet ?

Did you find anything you 

needed to bring home ?

    Hi, Lisa, I just really got out today and will probably make a quick post out of it. Honestly why is pouring over someone elses' throw-aways such fun. I really don't know, but it was second under seeing my kids that I missed in quarantine. Very cute use of a couple of finds! Sandi

      Thank you! I know what you mean, it is a great feeling. I think it wakes up our creativity. Making something from nothing is always exciting. I 'm so glad you could see your kids. That has been so hard. I miss hugs.

    That turned out so cute! Love the little pitcher in one of your pictures, too. I have been to the thrift store 2x since it reopened and found some great things, too. So much fun!

    Great idea to upcycle something that probably isn't food safe anymore!

      Thanks Kathy,
      Yes, it had mad chips and rust. I think I'll get some more life out of it :)

    Wonderful upcycle for a ladle and the succulents are perfect for it! I miss thrift shopping so it's a good thing I have a big thrift stash to choose from for projects.

    Such a sweet idea, I saw something similar in a cafe in Greece on holiday about 3 years ago and thought it was lovely then. I had some idea I might do the same but of course I've done nothing about it! I'm re-inspired, thank you!

      Julie,
      I saw it in a magazine years ago and kept it in the back of my mind. Now I am all the look out for more :)
