I am most delighted to have you join in..for it's YOU who makes it a "show and tell party". I also participate in Tablescape Thursday the host of that fun carnival is the Hostess with the Mostess...Susan of Between Naps on the Backporch. That's no lie or exaggeration, each week I visit Susan's porch and just long to be a guest at any of her tablescapes...especially those held on the porch.

This week, I am sharing some of the adventures with my girlfriends (affectionately known as the Clematis Club) in Mentone, Alabama. Today for Thrifty Thursday I thought I would take you shopping with us! The van is cramped, but there is always room for one more! Buckle up!

We visited one of my favorite Mentone antique shops, located in a two story grand old hotel, the antique store is called The White Elephant Antiques.

Each room is divided by the seller. Some have themes, some do not.
Here is a look at some of the things I saw:
Lots of jars & bottles:

Vintage Buttons for $1.00 a set

We'd like to thank our families who put up with our antics, we'd like to thank our therapist,  we thank the academy for the nomination and for voting us most likely to poke fun at our own expense.
Oh! We found some old trophy's and had some fun!

"High Mae" found a birdhouse she really liked:



























Numbered Canisters:

I adored this cabinet with it's chippy paint charm. It would be precious in a kitchen to use for a second pantry, or in a bathroom or even a mud room:

It had it's original hardware and care with a decent price tag, although I am certain it could be talked down to even less!

Check out these pottery plates. There were 6 and cost $12.00. They didn't match my kitchen.

It was this wooden framed piece that made my heart flutter though.....

I can imagine it painted heirloom white. I would use chalkboard paint on the inner wooden piece. Cute! And for $45.00 not bad, though again, I think it could be talked down. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted that piece. But I walked away. You can't have it all. And I was trying to conserve funds and space in the van since we were already very cramped. :(

I cannot wait to see the treasure you found this week! Last week, we had close to 70 contributors to Thrifty Thursday! Thank you for linking up with your fun finds and creative ideas!
