Looking For Vintage Treasures - Weekend Thrifting

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

This weekend at my local thrift store, pink tags were $.50 each and I found a few items for my Granddaghter I think she'll love. 

*** 

I looked throught the book section and was plesantly surprised to find a Hymnal for $.50

1st Hymnal I've ever found out thrifting.

***

"Blogging For Dummies", I can always learn a little more about Blogging!

***

 One of my Grandsons love to Juggle, I saw this book and thought of him.

***

I also, spied the two useful glass measuring cups, the large two cups is a FireKing for $1.50

and the one cup is a Pyrex for $1.00

I may use for decor above the kitchen cabinets

***

I have been eyeing these cups for a while, they were priced at $2.50 each, today I paid $1.25 each for the black enamel cups.

I'll be using these enamel cups for entertaining on the deck, this summer
***

I been wanting to get a collection of Blue Currier Ives flatware for some time at a reasonable price.

Today was the day........I've been watching this blue Currier Ives tea cup for sometime, it was priced at $5.00, thinking the price was a bit high for one cup.

Today, I was able to purchase the cup for $2.50

I'll be collecting a pieces at a time, I have a feeling.
***

I also have been watching two Hommer Laughlin Vintage "Pastoral Plowing the Fields" green
 bowls for $10.00 each! 

I'm playing the waiting game.

Thrifting for Vintage Home Decor

So Glad you stopped by!

Hi Friends,

Today, I'm excited to share a few items I found out thrifting at the local "Community Budget Center' on Tuesday, Senior Half Off day this week.

I found these silver-plate sugar cup and silver-plate caddy were $3.00 each, I paid $1.50

***

A few more great items I found at 1/2 off

All children books are 10 cent each, I'm sending this write and wipe book plus 'Dollar Tree' markers to my youngest grandson, he'll be turning three soon.

***

This wonderful blue and white crochet doily I'll been using in a Summer vignette.

***

I this chalk board I don't think is vintage, looking at the back.

on the back is a white board.

***

I've been watching these Rusty Doorknobs in the showcase window for sometime.......

The door-knobs were priced from $5.00- $10.00 each.

I was super surprised when I offered a $5.00 for all, the clerk came back with a $1.00 a piece. 

---

I guess the 'Rusty Crusty Door Knobs' had been in the show window a while, I took the $1.00 a piece deal,

it took some time to get the masking tape tags of these 'Porcelain Doorknobs'

I was told the 'Rusty Crusty Door-Knobs' had been in the window display for over a year! The tag said  06/22

I Found a Few Spice Bottles - Weekend Thrifting for Vintage Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here!

Today, I'm so excited to share what I found thrifting this weekend.

***

First yard sale had kid books.....

The graphics of this 1966 "The Little Fish That Got Away" are very cool, price of $.35.

this cute, 1953 "Little Red Hen" Whitman book, copyright date 1953, price of $.59

a Little Golden Book -"Jingle Bells", copyright 1964, price of $.29.

A Disney book "Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby" copyright 1971 price,.25.

1983 "Moses in the Bulrushes"

I also found a 1991 animal card and a 1915 Wildlife Identification Pocket Guide, I thought the grandkids would enjoy lookin through them when they visit.

All the books plus the animal cards for $2.00

***

Second sale,

I also found two plant hangers for a $1.00 each, I have a few plants that I need to hang up.

I found two very nice pottery flower pot for $2.00 each, I'll be using on the patio.

I look for kids cloths for the grandkids. I paid a $1.00 for 4 little shirts for the youngest grandson.

***

Third sale,

I believe it was last month I found a spice rack at a yard sale for a $1.00 and so I've been on the look-out for spice bottles and I found some for $1.50 for all four. 

I believe, the spice bottles match the ones I found last summer, I'm using for beads and sequins in the sewing nook.

This cute embroidered table scarf is great for summer on my vanity in the guestroom.

July Weekend Thrifting for Vintage Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! I've been spending a lot of time out in the garden, but I did get a chance to hit a few yard sales with my Grandson.

Today, I'm so excited to share what we found!

The 1st stop,

I found 7-Fire King Mugs, in fairly good shape, I paid a $1.00 each. Not a bad price! 

I love the colors and will be stashing the mugs away in the buffet until fall.

***

I'm using the Blue Enamel Tin cup on the cocktail cart.

***

Second stop, had some goodies...

I found a wood Pipe Rest with a copper top, for $5.00. You know where this is going.

Now I'm on the hunt for a couple of cool pipes to display on this amazing stand.

***

Another great find,

 a box of around 20 - Mechanic Illustrated magazines dated in the 1960's for $2.00 each.

Why I only bought two? I have no idea!, look at the ephemera!

***

Next,

I grabbed this cute Fisher Price Radio/Clock, for my small toy collection, it plays "Hickory Dickory Dock" the front is in good shape, however the printed song on back is missing.

***

Lastly, 

I saw two washboards they were real similar one for $10.00 in a little better shape, the one I brought home needed a bit of TLC for $2.00. 

Actually it was coming apart the tin piece wasn't attached on one side, so the Gentleman just gave it me.

When I got home, I glued the tin into the groove and used a clamp to pull the side tight until the glue set.

National Washboard Co.

I can't wait to get started on my laundry area project.
