On my way to the dollar store?
On my way to the antique mall?
On my way anywhere?
Right there on the right as I drive down Whiskey Road is the SPCA Thrift Store.
Sometimes I stop when I am going and sometimes I stop when I am coming back home.
And sometimes I stop both going and coming!
It is an addiction.
Double basket - one side for your peanuts, the other side for the shells.
Saw those vintage-looking frogs glued to the bottom with floral goop.
Soaked in rubbing alcohol.
Got the prizes.
Made in China!?!
<sigh>
Another India cotton tablecloth.
The green matches the navy floral one from last week.
Yellow birds on a small juice glass or shot glass.
"Tweet, tweet"
Printed right on the glass.
Well, the platter is much more beautiful than I ever pretended to be.
She is a big one.
So sweet!
I am hoping there is a spring somewhere in our future when I will need these for planters.
I never pass on a good wooden box at a cheap price.
This was once a cigar box.
It will be altered.
In some way.
When inspiration hits.
I must confess.
I went to the SPCA Thrift Store again today.
Yes, I bought a few things.
If it does not get warm enough for me to stay outside, I might manage to buy something every single day.
Maybe I can stack everything up like a fort and sit in front of the fireplace.
Maybe I need a restraining device to keep me from turning right.
More junk?
Next post.
See y'all!

I haven't had any time for Junkin lately, boooo. Love those shot glasses especially. Snow's coming Donna can you believe it? Hope you have a Thrifted sled somewhere :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! I'm glad you have at least one stand-by thrift store that is on the way to and from everything! As usual...fun finds!
ReplyDeleteLove your new treasures! I wish there was a thrift shop that close for me. But it's probably best that there's not. I'd be stopping every day, too. I've tried to be a good girl and stay away from the shops this month, but I did break down and go into one where I found a couple of goodies. Until my next excursion, I enjoy watching what you bring home!
ReplyDeleteI love your finds..and I am the same way about Goodwill.....I have to tell Hand Hubby when he is with me..."but they put things out all day , yes we are stopping on the way back!" Love your share ...I am a devoted Follower...Sheryl
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Donna. Anxious to see what you do with the oak box and loaf pans. I know you already have a plan.
ReplyDeleteStay warm and safe.
The snow and sleet missed us but we are cold.
Warm hugs,

Love the platter and wooden box. I am jealous! I've got to make it down/over (which is it?) there soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds as usual Donna! The old platter is lovely and that basket is too cool! I like your idea of using the loaf pans for flower boxes...:) They will be so pretty! How is your weather? It is rainy here...again! And tomorrow night is supposed to be 28 degrees and raining...ugh! I am so rady for spring! Have a blessed evening.....Vicky
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a SPCA thrift store on my way! You found some great treasures, I would of grab those glasses with the floral frogs inside right out of your arms! Nothing personal I might add I just would have to have them. You did really great, now where's the quickest thrift store to me I'm heading out! I also want the platter too. No, I am not greedy!
ReplyDeleteI love the old things you have found - what treasures. I just was over at your etsy shop and bought some jello molds (no I'm not going to attach them to a tree). Love that wooden cigar box too - looks like you had a good time shopping at the thrift store.
ReplyDeleteI love that platter!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Green Willow Pond...I'm a thrift store addict, too! Love the treasures you found. Except for the Made in China pieces, lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's a blessing and a curse to have a thrift shop on the way to everywhere. I have a Goodwill that is on my way to almost everywhere I need to go. I love stopping in. And the best part about winter is I can stop in on my way home from the grocery store and not worry about the food in my car. ;)

Oh I can not wait to get out bargain hunting. I want to so much. No, I don't need a thing. Still that has never stopped me, I am a pack rat. Finding things is the fun. Then what to do with it? The garden.....yes. This Spring I am looking for things to make bird baths and garden sculptures. Love your finds,,,,,,,,,,,Janice
ReplyDeleteI was just explaining to a friend this weekend - a trip to Goodwill is a low-cost high-reward way of obtaining retail therapy for my terrible case of Cabin Fever.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of making a fort in front of the fireplace!
