Weekend Thrifting for Vintage Treasures - Rooster Windchime

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

This weekend I went thrifting for Vintage Treasures. I didn't find any vintage treasures, but I'm so excited to share a few treasure I did find at my local "Community Thrift' store.

These two Black Planters and Terra-Cotta saucer are a useful treasures, I'm using in the flowerbed.

***

A Rolodex card pack for $.50 was not useful, because the cards are to big. Lol  

The cards do have a plastic sleeve so, the cards are going in my craft stash for the Grandkids, they'll have fun crafting with them.

***

You can never go wrong with Pip-Berries at $1.50!

The 4 foot garland needs a little bit of touch-up paint. I'll be taking the garland apart to use as sprigs of pip-berries, in my seasonal vignettes.

*** 

I thought this Rooster Windchime was very cool!

 However I read the price tag as $2.00 it was $8.00!

Lol, I was wondering why my total at checkout was higher then I had figured.

***

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by. My haul today was small, I saw wonderful treasures, but the prices are still very high.

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting are you also seeing higher prices at your thrift store. 

 So until my next post......
