More on my new Adventure!

I've been busy stocking up my store and adding new items!  Also, I've made sub-categories in jewelry and buttons to make it easier to get around to the items you want to see.  Added some more categories and am trying to get more items in each category.

Stop by and visit!  Just click on my logo below.

Antique Finds!

I wasn't going to go out shopping, but the hubby made me do it.  He planted the idea in my head.  Okay, so I think he was trying to get rid of me for a while.

I did come across these two cuties!  Plastic wall plaques.

A vintage stamp holder.

Fenton milk glass tray.

I have a really hard time resisting Lucite!  Especially Lucite embedded with things.

This is embedded with real items!  That's a baby seahorse and starfish.

This is an Avon soap dish, complete with stinky soap!  Still in the box.

Also found a small pin of a duck with a pink rhinestone eye.  The price tag covered the entire pin!  It was tarnished and looking bad.  I got it home, peeled off the price tag and cleaned it up.  It's marked .925!  Yep, sterling silver!



Thrifting - On the Road! Part Three!

I'm pretty sure this is some type of torture device!  Actually, it holds items like cheese, the huge roast etc. so you can then slice it.  Love the chippy look!

There's no reason whatsoever to purchase something like this next bowl.  Okay, yes there is.  First off, it was only .50 cents.

And it is perfect for my felted acorns!  I think I might need some more acorns to fill it out.

This next item is a covered bowl that was so filthy dirty, the lid wouldn't fit on it properly.  Once cleaned up, it's a beauty!

Something else I purchased for myself!  My friend found this purse and thought I had to have it.  I went back and forth, for $1.99, how could I lose?  I couldn't put it back.

It's a Longaberger!  I had no idea they even made things like this!

Yep, it's mine, all mine and I'm pleased with it!

I really wanted to get out of the luggage business, but saw this one and had to think it over.

It's a Samsonite and I fell in love with the design. 

Nope, that's not runny dirt, it's the pattern in it!

It's not squared, the bottom flares out a bit that gives it a wonderful look!

That's it for now!  Thanks for stopping by!

Thrifting!

On the thrifting road again! Some cute pieces of jewelry I found. I just love those big enameled flower pins!
If I didn't all ready have a cabinet full of mugs, I'd keep these! They are very heavy glass of the world globe from Nestle.

This is so cute. I think I'll use this as a sponge holder by my sink.

This is an early version of a lint brush! Use it on fabrics and it works like a charm!

I've seen a lot of collector's plates in my times but never found a Dennis the Menace one before! See something you want? Let me know, I'd be happy to set something up for you. That applies to any of the thrift posts you see.

Thrifting . . . again...

Not much to report from this morning's trip, but a few fun things. I've always wanted a pair of gloves to use in my photos and now I found one! I'm looking for black ones, too.
The tissue box is metal and appears to be hand painted. Cute ivory colored flowers. It's neat because you could hang it on the wall, if you wanted to!

How cute is this?

These don't look all that exciting. I found a pair of pillowcases that just looked like I should know the manufacturer. I searched and searched but couldn't find a tag. For some reason, I was persistant and looking closely at the the pattern, I found the name. VERA! Woohoo, was I excited. SOLD! Walked down further in the row and found a flat sheet to match, double Woohoo! Man, am I excited now. Kept going and sure enough, found a second flat sheet! WOOHOO! Vera Neumann Collection by Burlington. They are in the washer as we speak.

Thrift Shopping!

I love these metal file boxes for my supplies! So much better than the plastic ones you have to buy today! This one even has the key with it, now I know my paper punches are secure! Picked up 2 boxes of binder clips. I use these for so much! In the kitchen to close chip bags, frozen food bags, etc. Think I'm set now! I only paid .50 cents per box of 12. Can't beat that! And the wooden turtle was just too cute to pass up.
I've seen these milk glass bowls before but never decorated like this one. It's awesome! I love the painting on it.
Isn't it pretty?! The base is decorated too.

Found a Bingo game that I can make tags out of the cards. I'm hoping I can match up some numbers with the matching chips.

I see Avon bottles all the time but never saw this one before! It's a fire alarm bottle. And check out the hairy stick pin! It's fur!

Boonton divided dish! Cool beans!

Set of metal bookends. Remember these from the olden days?

This is a stay cool rolling pin! You put cold water or ice cubes inside it to keep the pin cool and keep the dough from sticking to it when you roll it out.

How cool is this? Would look awesome with the inflatable footstool! Great old magazine rack.

I almost passed on these but then kept finding parts all around the shop and went back, collect them up and couldn't resist them once I saw them all together! They appear to be milk glass but they are plastic wall hangings!

Best part of all, I didn't spend more than $2.97 on anything! That would be the magazine rack and metal file box. Everything else was .50 cents or $1.00! Now that's what I'm talking about!
