Thrift Store Fun

Thrifting WonderlandPhotography15 Comments on Thrift Store Fun

Welcome, I’m so happy you’re here to share this shop with me. This time of year is great for Thrift Stores. Items for all the upcoming holidays are starting to appear on the shelves and people are donating as they clear out their homes for the holiday season. Makes it fun to be in the stores. I went to two stores this week…a Goodwill and a local Thrift Store that was nearby. I have some goodies to share.

First is this very cute Ladybug sign that will be great for the garden this Spring. It is made of metal and wood and is about three feet long. Love the colors and the rustic appearance.

Next, the cute little truck filled with pumpkins for the Fall. It will look great in a Fall vignette.

Another sign will wait until Easter to be displayed. It’s nice and bright and will be sweet with some Easter decorations.

Found these wonderful trays depicting country scenes. They had been hung on someone’s wall for display so were in great shape. They are a nice size for glasses or an afternoon treat and love the pictures displayed on the front.

This was a nice collection of ivy leaves. One is a garland and one is a bunch. These are always handy to use in displays so I pick them up whenever I see them.

A runner in jewel tones was another find that made it into the basket. I love these tones for Winter especially. They really brighten up a table.

I did have some really nice finds today and the above glasses are one of them. These are “Stephanie” by Mikasa and some were brand new with stickers. They sell for about $90 a glass new. Of course I didn’t pay anywhere near that amount so they were a terrific find. They have delicate stems and the bowls are cut in such a way that they capture and reflect the light. Quite beautiful and nice to find six of them.

These Halloween ceramic plates were a great find for less than $4. There are four plates and they each have a different scene. They are very colorful and fun.

Two small wire baskets made it into the cart. I loved the size and shape of these. They will be perfect for small vignettes and flower baskets.

Finally, these Minton luncheon plates made their way into the cart. Minton is a top china maker and these plates are beautiful. The design around the rim has raised flowers. The edges are scalloped and covered in gold. The plates are in beautiful condition and a wonderful size for tea or a lunch with Friends. “Garden Pinks” is the pattern. They were about $2 per plate. Not bad for Minton.

I know y’all love to have the prices for what I find. Everything except the glasses and plates were by weight at the Goodwill last call store. They all came to about $6 and I also had a wooden cow that I forgot to photograph that weighed quite a bit. This is a great way to buy stuff. I don’t go there often and it’s really hit or miss in terms of finding good items. Still worth a look when I’m in the area.

Hope you have a great time and find some treasures on your next thrifting adventure.
