I Found a Couple of Great Finds - Vintage Thrifting Friday

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! Today, I'm so excited to share a few treasures I found this weekend at a couple of yard sales.

***

The first sale,

had a lot of Christmas light, ribbons, wrapping paper, and arranged florals and small trees, all modern Christmas décor, so I passed it up. 

However, I did notice a under-bed Rubbermaid tote for $2.00 

Thought the Rubbermaid tote is worth the $2.00, right?

I also got a bag of miscellaneous tissue paper.

and quite a few pre-made red bows for the $2.00's.

***

Also, at this sale I spied another vintage piece of Tupperware for my daughter, 

for $2.00 a Sheet Cake Caddy

***

Then,

across the street was a sale and I picked up 9 Terra-Cotta planter saucers all for $1.00!

I'm using a few of the saucers with the Terra-Cotta planters on the front porch.

***

The last sale 

I stopped at 

on Friday, had many tools, duffle bags, tool caddies, electrical items, cement trowels, building materials, etc.

I brought home a few fun finds....

I thought this Klein Tool Caddy $1.00 will be great as a flower planter

***

also two tool bags on a belt for $3.00.  I'm going to use as a caddy for my garden tools and gloves

***

I couldn't leave this cute Kerosene Lantern for a $1.00 

I'm not sure if I want to paint it red or not, what do think?

***

a Receipt/Invoice Books and Carpenter Pencil for $1.00

I'll be using pages from the books in my the collage cards, I've been enjoying making for my holiday décor.

***

two small Cans of Stain $1.00, I picked hoping to weather protect the the garden chair, will see? 

***

 when I run across a heavy duty Duffle Bag at a reasonable price I try to purchase them, I use the bag to hold sleeping bags for camping, sometime I can get up to 3 sleeping bags in one duffle bag!

 I paid $3.00 for this bag.

This weekend I did not find many vintage treasures, but that's how it goes sometimes. 

There's always next weekend!

 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 would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......

Vintage Treasure Hunting at My Local Thrift Store

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad you stopped by! 

Today, 

I'm so excited to share a shopping haul from my local 'Community Budget Center'.

I was looking through the picture frames and found a pile of vintage scrapbooks, I paid $2.00 a pieces for them. There were also two packs of extra pages for $1.25 each. What a Great! price!

                                                

As you know I'm working on getting my family picture printed off my computer to free up some space for my blog picture.

I don't normally pick-up clear clear glass, but this little 1930's pressed-cut glass pitcher caught my eye, notice the "Pineapple Fan" design?

I place the cut-glass creamer in the China Hutch

***

I spied a small thermos, it didn't have a price. The clerk didn't charge me for it, so sweet! I stuck the cute little thermos with a few others for Summer Décor.

***

These cool colorful 1960's "Fire-King" bowls I picked-up because of the color to use in my kitchen.

Actually, the Yellow bowl was marked "Anchor Hocking"

Right now I have the bowls on the shelf above the cabinets in the kitchen

***

Then,

I was surprised to find this candy tin for $5.00 the lid does have a dent, but I do like the flower pattern on the side

There is a marking on the bottom- 'Container made in England' 'Art Grace Baret Ware'. I think it would great in a Valentine vignette.

For now I have the cute tin displayed on the vanity in the guest-room.

***

I always take a peek over in the jewelry area, just in case something catches my eye. 

Today I spied a necklace with red and silver beads with a tarnished chain. I have a pair of earrings I thrifted that I thought would look nice with this necklace.

***

Lastly,

 I found another shelf for $3.50, I'll need to paint it you can't quite tell that this shelf is painted purple. I'm thinking to use it in the computer corner. Check back later to see where I'll be using this shelf.

You may have also saw I found another candy/apothecary jar $2.00, for my daughter.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day, to see what I've been up to,

 I would love to hear what you have found out thrifting this week and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......
