Welcome back Thrifters, and Garage Sale Hunters! Glad to see you visiting again with Thrifty Shop Girl. Well, it has been a week, and I have been to another tag garage sale again this morning. This is a small area I live in, and doing these tag sale type things is new to the area. Honestly, just feels like another garage sale when they do it. I wanted to go this morning because the estate this belonged to was the couple that use to own the baker in town....for many many years. Sadly, I was expecting more when I got there, and of course some of the prices these ladies that do this stuff are putting on things...well, I was just expecting different I guess.
I did get 3 bundles of about 5 a piece of some old wooden hangers. The top that has the wired hanging hook, and then the wooden clip/closure on the bottom. I got me some ideas, and possibilities. But, anyway.....getting ahead of myself here now. I need to show pics from what I got last week, and some of those fun things. So, let me get that all rounded up for ya'll to see.
As you can see I did not get a whole lot of things. There really was not all that much there I seemed to be interested in, or the prices were marked where I did not like them too. But, anyway, you can see the vintage kitchen scale I got, bag of pink flowers that is pretty much the top of them with their stems being cut off, a vintage coffee teapot, big wooden paper clip, a white doilie, and a decorative pink hankie doilie type thing too. Just enough I was comfortable with.
The scale does work. I just need to check on how accurate for sure. The wooden clothes pin I am thinking of painting, and adding some fabric, or maybe some scrapbook paper to it...decorate it up a bit. The coffee teapot is in very good clean condition. Looks almost like new with really no use to it. I have little vases, or jars that could use a single, or maybe a couple of them pink roses in them. The white doilie I think I will add to a cheese holder, or a cloche that I have upcycled by painting the wooden like base pink. As for the decorative hankie....that might just go over another one of my lamp shades in the home too. I like doing that:)
Well, that was it for last week. I'll get pictured the few things I got this morning. I don't want to show quite yet cuz I might be stopping by a sale that is starting this afternoon. Can't get there till about an hour after it starts, but I am not looking for small things either. I have a glass piece in mind to put with others I have here, but....we will see what happens. Wish me luck everyone. Happy Thrifting, and see you again real soon. Thanks for visiting with Thrifty Shop Girl! Toodles........
