Isnt this the cutest little elephant figurine?! I am going to use it as a ring holder. Hello fun jewelery organization.
It was elephant week apparently! I also found a sterling silver elephant brooch. I plan on taking the back pin off and attaching it to a plain cuff that I have.
A bright yellow Pyrex bowl. I have this dream of opening my cupboards and all I see is brightly covered vintage Pyrex dishes.Thrifting tip:
Get an early start. Early bird gets the Pyrex! Plus...in the morning things are more organized, the employees are generally happier and there are not tons of people yet. Just a little observation.

We are huge fans of elephants (my daughter and I) I adore this post! Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE elephants too! They are my favorite pachyderm :) That first little elephant that you're going to use as a ring holder is SO cute! I've been looking for a cute little ring holder - you found a perfect one!
I said I was going to start going to the thrift stores every week didn't I? Crud, I forgot. Okay, next week. No really, I'm putting it on the calendar. I think I should plan the same day every week so it turns into a ritual. Gotta start the kiddos diggin' through trash at a young age, right? I like the ring holder. Super cute.
okay those are all great purchases. i'm really loving that ring holder elephant. i don't have a ring holder (really need one) and think that's absolutely brilliant to use that little guy. also love the vintage pyrex. totally reminds me of the bowls my mom had when i was a kid. now you just need a light green and orange one!

Oh Lindsay! That' elephant ring holder is so cute, as is the brooch. I'm a lover of vintage Pyrex too and I really don't know why I just don't take the doors off my kitchen cabinets. They very rarely get closed! My kitchen looks like that kitchen scene out of "Sixth Sense" sometimes.

The ring holder is adorable. My grandmother had unique things like this for her jewelry. It so pretty.
Love the yellow pyrex. I have one of those too! I agree, it would be so cool to open up a cupboard and see all brightly colored vintage pyrex bowls!
Love that sterling elephant, how fun! great finds!
I LOVE that little gold elephant! And turning it into a ring holder is such a great idea!

I loveeee elephants!! Both such a great finds.
I just lost an elephant pin just like the one you said you will attach to a plain cuff. Do you know where to find them? Mine had been my mother's before she passed away and I would love to replace it. sarah.bird@yahoo.com
