More thrift shopping!

A friend of mine took a day off work and we spent the day thrift shopping!  My favorite thing to do!  I think I was pretty shopped out from my thrifting vacation, but I still managed to find a few things!

First off, I found this paint by number for the awesome price of $3.00!  Peeps, please do NOT put glass over a paint by number!  Just in the time I got this one home, the paint had softened up and was sticking to the glass.  I was lucky, I got the glass off and there wasn't any damage to the picture.

At the same thrift shop, I found this beauty!  I had seen it before but it was always way too expensive.  My patience paid off!  I got this one for $5.00!!!  It's a very long picture, about 32" long.  There was another one there but it was $8.00 and showed damage.

This is just plain weird!  LOLOL!

I'm pretty sure it's Shim's brother!  Yep, I need to do some research on this one!

These are huge industrial size!  Wonderful old picking shears.  The note attached to it says it doesn't cut fabric too well!

This is just a really cute poodle that I just couldn't resist!

I had to laugh about this one.  I found this sealed bag of items and all I could see were the large trees and two wooden pieces in it.  I liked the trees, so I purchased the bag for $3.00.

I was thrilled to find even more trees inside it, the cutest small ones I've ever seen and that little piece of the couple building a snowman!

Was able to get a few more bowls for my Christmas project!  The one on the left has a bee on the bottom of it, it's Higbee glass!  Might not be able to part with that one.  :o)

Very pretty crystal wedding compote!

Lastly, I've been looking for a blazer to wear to court.  I didn't have anything nice for the Fall weather but couldn't find anything I liked with a price tag to match.  Look what I found!

It's a beautiful beige color with green and maroon houndstooth.  Made in USA, not a rip, tear or frayed thread on it.  Seriously looks like it was never worn.  What's wrong with it?  It's dry clean only, but for what I paid for it, I'll get rid of it before paying to have it dry cleaned!  Can you guess what I paid for it?

More Thrifting!

Two sour cream containers with unusual patterns. It's always fun to find them with the lids!

Avon bunny candlestick holders.

Wire plate holder in old color.

Sometimes I wonder what possesses me and this is one of those times! Why did I buy this?

Three Monks that sing Joy To The World. Um. Okay...

And then there's times where I have a hard time parting with something. This is one of those!

At first I thought this was wrought iron but when I got it home and read what was left of the label on it, it's made from a "special ceramic".

Pretty cool tulip yard sprinkler!

Frozen food saw! Still in the original box.

Makes perfect sense! And yes, that is a Bakelite handle.

Okay, these might not excite you as much as they do me! Peanuts books, just image the beads I can make!

Let's all do the Snoopy Dance together, shall we? LOLOLOL! Oh, in case you are wondering, I paid $1.50 for the craft book and .27 cents for each one of the Peanuts Books!

Thrift Shopping!

I feel SO lucky to find this one! It's a wallpaper sample book, the kind you see at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.

These photos aren't the best, the colors in this book are awesome!

It's fun to have paper all ready coordinated!

This one has to be one of my favorites in the book and it has several different colors of the same pattern!

I can't wait to use these for paper beads!
