I Found Some Great Vintage Treasures -On a Whim, I Stopped by my Local Thrift Store

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Last week, I stopped by the local thrift store and notice a bunch of candles, not sure why I didn't bring some home that day??

So..... I thought I would stop by and check out the candle bin this week. Great prices

To my surprise, I brought home 51 new candles for a total of $10.50 Two boxes were long tapered 'Party Lite' candles.

***

While I'm here I'll checked the pattens cabinet hadn't in a while, found a few cool patterns for $.10 each.

check out the patterns I found for a patriotic vignette in my sewing corner next year.

Cute 'Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Ann' pattern and a 'Holly Hobby'  

I'm not much of a knitter, but thought the pattern for 'Barbie' was neat along with the vintage pillow cover pattern. I'm thinking of framing the pattern covers.

As you know I have a couple of Aunt Martha's patterns, so found one to add to my collection.

***

The prices on the S&P's was Great! at $1.50. 

I thought my newly shakers would look nice displayed on a shelf in the China Hutch with another set of silver-plate shakers.

***

The brass planter was $2.00

I think the brass bowl filled vintage dominos looks green with my emerald color vase collection.

***

The vintage canning jars were another great find at $1.00 each, and will go into my collection of vintage canning jars.

I have a wire basket on top of my hutch to display my new vintage canning jars, I filled them with pip berries.

***

This vintage oil lamp was my favorite for $3.50, it was paired with a chimney for $5.00, that didn't fit right, so I left it behind.

The burner on this lamp looks new, however

I read some where how to check for vintage clear glass piece by using a black light, I guess the glued seal will shine? This lamp did not glow. I believe I can order a chimney through 'B&P Lamp Supply', Then I'll find a place for this nice oil lamp.

Another sale,

I found two vintage books for $.25 each and a planter for $2.00, I'm always gifting plant starts, so it's nice to have extra small planters.

The 1st unique book,

 is a book by Art Linkletter - Kids Say the Darndest Things!

I believe I was in middle school, when this TV show  aired on Saturday nights in 1967, I think.

The second vintage book, 

I'm sure you all have seen the Movie 'True Grit' ? that came out in 1969 with John Wayne and Glen Campbell,

anyway I found this book by Charles Portis called 'True Grit', copyright 1968. SUPER COOL!

I've added the amazing novel in a old west vignette, I have on the shelf in a spare room.

I've Been Thrifting at My Local Budget Thrift Store

Hi Friends,

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a small thrift haul from my local Budget Center.

There was a lot of furniture  that I sure wish I had the room for... 

one older vanity with a great tall mirror the price was $125.00, the mirror was probably worth it, but a little rich for my pocket book, 

Also there was a oak tall boy with a small mirror the price was $150.00 (wish  I had the room)

***

I'm using the tan planter in the back yard.....

***

The 1950's-1960's green ribbed hexagon/base vase, made by E.O. Brody Co., Cleveland, Ohio is going to my collection.......

***

I look-up the shot glass no marking found similar and there really not vintage......

***

The white beaded evening clutch is really not vintage either but I thought it was cool.

I have a small white satin beaded clutch, that was given to me when I graduated from eight grade, maybe 44 years ago. 

I believe it was a tradition at the time.
