Thrifty Monday for Thrifts Junk Vintage Repurpose

Thrifty Monday for Thrifts Junk Vintage Repurpose, and a lil bit of this, and a lil bit of that is what makes it fun. 

Hi, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to have you back, and visiting with us. I am a little bit disappointed. By now I thought I was going to be moved to some where warmer, that I can do more thrifting, junking, digging, and treasure hunting too. But...our plans didn't quite work out as we hoped, and so I am still living up North with the cold yet. Working harder to get things in order, better organized, things completed so that we can move down south. Till then I have to do what I can, right?

A while back it was kind of nice out, and I thought what the heck. I have not been to many this year with house remodeling, down sizing things, preparing to move, and etc. So, I did have 1 day where I stopped at a couple of garage sales. Unfortunately, for this small town I live by they never seem to have much at Garage sales that I can get really excited about. Prices are too high because they see it sell on ebay, or something like that so that is where they get their numbers. I cannot find use for some things being offered, many baby items that would not fit into a desirable market for them, and so on. Not trying to be mean, but sometimes I can find better deals with some of the dumpsters, and stores that are out of town than from here too. 

On this one particular day I did stop at a couple of garage sales, and found some small things that I can work with a bit. I enjoy the apothecary jar I found, and all of the pearls that I found and dropped into it as well. So far it is a keeper for me. I got the 2 picture frames with an idea that I have in mind. Not sure if it will be these 2 together, but it is a start anyway. 

I enjoy working with cloche glass dome cheeseboards too. I clean the glass up well, and then will paint the wood base whatever color I choose at the time. Now, once it is painted I might lay a doilie on it, get out the mod podge to add some paper or material, add some figurines or accessories to the inside of it, add some sort of decal to the glass dome, and things like that. The 2 plates you see will have something done to them soon if I can ever find some glassware, or pieces that can fit to their size, and of course have the right colors to accent everything too. But, they do look like new too.  I had gotten excited because I found some great amber glass that would be perfect with the 2 plates, colors were good, like new condition, and.....they were too big. How disappointed I was too.

In the back you see the pretty pillar candle holder with a minimal floral design on it. It has a pink glass base that is nice, and sturdy too. Simple candle holder that is adorable with the candle in it, or without it too. I also got a glass candle holder that will make a cute pedestal stand to something, a sweet tea cup, and some blue napkin rings/holders that I can work with too. 

Sometimes you might not come home with much after thrifting, or garage saling, but there are still possibilities for everything to be used in some way or other too. 

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, enjoyed the football games, and got all done that you wanted to do. Thanks for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see you again soon. Take care till the next time everyone.....Toodles........

Thrift Store Finds Are Repurposed Upcycled

Thrift Store Finds Are Repurposed Upcycled

Hello everyone, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to see you stopping by. I have some pictures to share with you of some thrift store finds that I had found. I think I might save those for another time. Today I thought that maybe I would share with you what I have done with some of those Thrift Store finds I had shared with you. Not all pieces were used to repurpose cuz come on, a girl has to keep some things for herself too, right? Sure we do! Anyway, below you will see a few pictures of completed items that I repurposed upcycled.

A Green Relish Dish Tray Glass Pedestal Stand Vintage Inspired is completed, and listed with my shop at Etsy. I so loved how these 2 beautiful glass pieces came together to create this relish pedestal stand. So much better in person, and the item looks like new too.

A Stoneware Cupcake Plate Amber Glass Pedestal Stand looks great in person! This adorable amber glass candy dish, or dessert bowl was attached to a lonely Mikasa Soup/Salad bowl to make this beautiful piece. This can also be seen with my shop at Etsy too.

Lastly I am showing you this wonderful Green Glass Cupcake Plate Pedestal Stand that was repurposed by Me. I just love this plate that was used with the color, and design work it has too. The green glass candy dish, or dessert bowl was a great match to attach to this plate creating this piece.

I adore, and have fun making these lonely pieces into something useful with so many possibilities for their use too. Some things I make I do keep for our home as well to dress it a little bit here, and there. I have also made some pieces with glass cylinders making candle holders that were given as gifts. So many choices, so many possibilities, and so many ways to share it all too. As mentioned before, it's fun to do too! I like spending the time searching for items, taking my time in what piece will partner with what piece, and all of that. Sometimes I might be to selective, but I do enjoy the outcome of them when they are completed. 

Well, I hope you all enjoyed what was shared with you today. Thanks so much for stopping by, and sharing with Thrifty Shop Girl. I have enjoyed it, and hope you have too. Take care, and see you again soon. Later....
