Saturday, my husband turned the car around to visit a garage sale. A man and his children were outside and there was a lovely 14" iron skillet sitting on the table. I asked how much and he the man asked his daughter how much mama wanted for it (there was no price on it). She said $1. I was like, Jeremiah, hurry quick give me a dollar and let's get out of here before mama comes out and realizes her husband's mistake, LOL. I normally get all my iron from our best ever Goodwill for cheap cheap cheap. Once I visited the thrift store, more like antique store, in town here and they want $80, YES EIGHTY dollars for a cast iron pan. George Washington himself must have used it for them to ask so much! <BR/><BR/>Lucky you who gets to spend 2 1/2 hours thrifting, I envy you :o).Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428053893024159845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039769101457894467.post-54089991766671531372008-08-03T07:06:00.000-07:002008-08-03T07:06:00.000-07:00I LOVE cast iron.

I went to Goodwill a couple of weeks ago and spent $20 on onesies for baby and a pottery book for James, and I thought my purchases were on the pricey side. Oh, how I was right after reading your latest entry! I'm thinking this thrift way of shopping is a bit of an art I have yet to master. :):: the monkey pod ::https://www.blogger.com/profile/00610174928831398836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039769101457894467.post-90873916290110908172008-08-01T14:24:00.000-07:002008-08-01T14:24:00.000-07:00Ahh...we've been wanting to trash our pots and pan...Ahh...we've been wanting to trash our pots and pans and get some cast iron!

Growing up, our family had those plates as our dinnerware!! Perhaps you ended up with our set and they made their way north! I just had to call Mom and we shared a laugh together because of ALL the dinnerware out there, you ended up with the exact same as ours when I was Cole's age! Mom also told me that she bought those at a local grocery store at the time. Just a fun little fact for your Thursday evening! Good luck to you and the boys this weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
