Did a wee bit of thrift shopping the other day...
Strayed from my usual choices...
Getting even more eclectic...
Seems like other things are calling my name lately...
BOOKS for one thing...
With a growing toddler visiting often...
You can never have too many books...
Miss V loves sitting with Papa in his chair...
And looking at books together...
I know these are for an older child...
But...at 25 cents each...
I just couldn't resist!
This trio of pottery also caught my eye...
The small creamer was 25 cents...
The big soup mug was 25 cents...
The small cradle vintage floral holder also 25 cents....
I had purchased a train floral holder a few months back...and my friend Birdie had suggested it woudl be cute to hold Miss V's barrettes and things....
Well...she is now sporting barrettes...so cute...
But...I thought this cradle would be a better fit for that purpose...and it went home with her last night♥
Thanks for the idea Birdie...♥
The creamer is a Johnson Brothers....probably worth more than 25 cents!
This mug really made me laugh!
Looks very vintage. don't you think?
The drawings depict the 50's or 60's to me....
Who wouldn't want a money tree, eh?
Especially "Pop"!!! hahaha!
While I was looking thru the children's books....
My boyfriend found 2 boxes of key chains...
I guess someone collected key chains...
And someone else thought they were ready for the thrift store!!!
He chose this coca-cola sneaker...
Complete with tread!
And...the official Coca-Cola logo....
I picked the Fred Flintstone one....
YABBA DABBA DOO!!!!
When that show first came out...it was a nightime show....once a week....
I was probably 10 years old!
Our family loved it...
Then....
They started running it everyday at noon...
And when my kids used to come home for lunch...they would watch this...
While munching on their grilled cheese...or peanut butter sandwich...or Kraft dinner!!! hahaha!
Those were the days!
All in all....
A different set of thrifty finds...
But....kinda neat!
What kind of things do you look for when thrifting?
Do you have any collections built up thru thrifting??
Have you ever bought anything, and then found out...it was worth quite a bit more than you paid for it?
I like to actually use the things I purchase...
Especially my bowls...
Glassware...
Pyrex...that sort of thing...
Oh..also small tables is antoher weakness of mine...
Love them♥
The 2 keychains will go to the cottage...
We have a bowl with a few "oddities"...either found or purchased....I should do a post on that sometime!
Perhaps next summer......
ahhhhhh...the "S" word.....dreaming.....
*********
Today is soggy...drippy....foggy....and I am not going out the door!
Hope you are all having a great day...
What are you all up to??
