Hello Friends,
I got out of small town this last weekend and enjoy having a variety of antique shops to rummage in.
The first antique/ thrift store was "Wilsons Estate" this shop had a great selection of furniture, a few very nice dinning room china hutches average price $75.00 to $150.00 (we took the car on this trip or I might have brought a china hutch home with me)
They had a variety of all kinds of treasures but a little bit sparse. It might be possible this store had recently opened, however, I was able to find a few cherished things. This is what I bought home.
A big selection of postcards 4 for a $1.00 I'll be putting some of the post cards away for and spring. I used
I picked up a vintage wooden pestle for a food mill masher? for $4.00.
I place the pestle on top of the kitchen cabinets with a longer pestle and a food mill.
The screened funnel here on the shelf, I used as a kid separating the skins of apricots for canning we called it a juicer.
I thought the hand held lemon or orange juicer, $3.00 was a great price and I didn't have one.
I've seen several collectors on social media pick up these Anchor Hocking cruets while thrifting.
My Mother had a set for oil and red vine vinegar. So of course when I spied the set for a $1.00 each!
*****
The next store was "Redeemed Treasures" of the past it had been in business around 7 year the clerk said this store was more like a mall with I would say fifty venders and a good variety of vintage treasure.
The winter scene post cards($1.00 each) I will be packing away until winter.
I just can't believe two I bought another hand held lemon/orange juicer ($1.60), lol, so now I have two (crazy).
I also placed the green handle biscuit cutter ($4.00), as you can see next to my many aluminum cookie cutter. I will need to find a bigger container for all those cookie cutters I love so much.😊
I was super happy to find a Prince Albert cigarettes' tin at a reasonable price of $3.20 or I thought it was a good price. I nestled the Prince Albert tin in with a few of my other tobacco tins and brown bottles.
I don't know why I picked up this cute small "Hull" pitcher ($4.00), I don't really collect Hull pottery. I do think the small pitcher looks nice with the brown pottery I have above the kitchen cabinets.
I really don't have much of a vintage doll collection, but this cute pair of farm dolls had a great price of $5.00 for the pair. I placed these very darling dolls on a dresser in the spare room.
When I saw three Colorado souvenir ash trays in a club shape, a diamond shape, and this spade shape ash tray($3.99 each) a little pricey for me to buy all three.
I felt the spade shape was the one to display with my other Colorado souvenir ash trays.
Little silver-plate cup ($2.50)and souvenir spoon ($2.00) is on the shelf with the other silver plate treasures.
It was a toss up, should the cup be in the grand kids room? displayed as a kid items? or display this cute silver plate cup with other like pieces?
Here it is on shelf with other liked treasures.
I really didn't need another green vase. The green vintage Randall bud vase is super cute ($3.00), I love green emerald glass, so there you go.....
I place this cute emerald green bud vase with my small collection of green bottles. Loving the copper treasure with the green bottles.
I'll be holding on to the insulator wooden screw pegs ($3.00 each) for a while, I have a project I have been wanting to do in the back yard garden.
I have been collecting vintage insulators and when ever I find a insulator wooden screw pegs, I pick them up, I was happy to have found three ($3.99)for the bundle.
I'm looking forward to get this project done this summer.
I picked up this nickel plate Rayo oil lamp for $18.00, my plan is to upcycle the lamp to electric.
I have two other lamp I added the bulb socket and electric cord to, I'm still looking for a few pieces to complete these lamps - shade, shade ring, collar, etc..
It was great to get out of town and get a new perspective on life out side my small town and of course finding new stores to go thrifting and antiquing!
I want to thank you for checking in. I hope to give you some inspiration to go out thrifting, you just never know what kind of one of a kind treasure you will find.
If you like the thrill of thrifting what are items you look for?
Please check back any time, I'm trying to post at least every two weeks, with thrift hauls, vignettes of where I show off my thrifted treasures, and a few peeks at my seasonal decorating in and outside my home..
So, until next time......
May God Bless You and Your Family,
I'm Vicki a Colorado Junkett
