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......

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.
