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.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week. I guess you never know what you will find out thrifting.
I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home.
So until my next post......
May God Bless You and Your Family,

I am sure you will find a glass shade for your new oil lamp at a thrift store soon; I find them all the time for $1-2. Or at an antique store for $7! Every once in a while, I used to put mine through the dishwasher; who wants to have the power go out and the shade is all dusty or sooty from the last time you used it!! Several years ago our electric company trimmed trees near power lines back severely and we don't lose power during thunderstorms much anymore. Of course, the Ice Storm of '98, we were without power for 11 days. Thank God for the hurricane lamps! Those lamps, the woodstove in the cellar, and my kitchen gas stove saved the day! Loved the canning jars. I love Aunt Martha embroidery transfers, have quite a collection, and love them for embroidery projects!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, I do have a few oil lamp just for when the power goes out. We don't loss power to often maybe once a winter and usually from birds or small animals getting into the power lines, not weather.
