My greatest Catholic thrift was a beautiful statue of St. Joseph holding the Child Jesus. It's clearly from an old church somewhere and i found it, of all places, at a Baptist church sale. I saw it for $5 and thought, "I can't leave him here with all these Protestants, they won't know what to do with him!" So he now watches down over my kitchen from atop a cupboard!

Wow great finds. I love diamond painting! Be careful not to spill your tray of diamonds. 😂 You will be finding them all over your house.

Thrifting is a lot of fun, isn't it? It's fun to see how much joy something we are ready to part with can give to someone else and vice versa :)

Great finds! I dream of finding in a thriftstore, a vintage image of St Michael in a melted metal frame. My grandma had one installed at the top of her house front door. I noticed many old Catholic houses had it.

I just went to a church sale this morning and got the same book you did about praying with Pope John XXII. I also got two others in the same format, Praying with Hildegard of Bingen and Praying with Julian of Norwich. Looking forward to reading them! Love seeing your finds!

You found some great stuff! I love the notepad Kate got. My mom loves diamond painting. She's done quite a few. I think she may have the same coffee one in her kitchen. I had your church sale in my calendar. I think I was hoping to visit the NC kids during that time and make a side quest to the sale. The kids were here during that time this year. Maybe next year!

Our church hosted a pro-life organization rummage sale this spring. (The pro-life organization is a multi-denominational effort, so they ran the sale and we hosted it in the former school gym.) In the spirit of "it is more blessed to give than to receive," I managed to donate a whole carload of stuff without bringing anything new into my house. There were some great things in the sale, and it might have been disastrous if I hadn't kept my eyes averted from the tables. I have decluttered so many times that I only have good stuff left in my house! My goal is to own nothing when I die. BTW, check with your optometrist before you start the art project--my younger brother's mother-in-law does those jeweled canvases, and they're pretty intricate. Your church library looks like a very welcoming place--you are fortunate that your priest values books!

We love your philosophy, Margaret- only keeping the good stuff. We also admire your self restraint! Just don't die anytime soon. We would miss you! Thanks for the heads up about the diamond painting- we had a similar experience with a flower Lego set recently. The pieces were so tiny! I am glad this experiment is only costing us 50 cents :)

We didn't look too closely at it… could there have been family names on it? That is an intriguing thought...
