Thrift Store Finds For Monday

Thrift Store Finds For Monday

This was not a big weekend for me to do much of anything, and that includes thrift stores or yard sales. There were plenty of yard sales in town with the weekend events they had there with Rise Fest taking place. Yet, I found myself not wanting to much of anything. We dealt with rain, and lightening on Friday night. We again had some showers, and cool air Saturday morning which then lead to sunshine with some humid air. 

I did manage to visit our local thrift store, and found the items you see listed above. The blue ball glass jars, a small half pint Paullina Dairy jar in it's wire holder, and then a blue coupon organizer. The jars are all sitting on my small bay window in the kitchen, and rather adorable there too. 

So, how was your weekend? Any special finds for you? 

Thanks for sharing some time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see you again soon. Take care, and Happy Thrifting everyone!

Have a Wonderful Fun Filled Saturday

Have a Wonderful Fun Filled Saturday Everyone!

Finally able to hop on by here to let everyone know I was absent due to a computer issue. I was working on my posts I wanted to have done for here. Moving right along, and all of a sudden the screen went black. No warning! 

So, I waited few minutes, and turned the computer off, and back on. Screen was coming in, and out till it finally would stay black. Had sound, and everything just no screen. So, on Thursday I was lucky enough to be able to get the monitor to a computer place to have it diagnosed for me. I was really hoping it would be a new power cord that was needed, or maybe a new vsg cord needed. Unfortunately, I was not so luck. I was told I would need a new monitor. 

I spent all day today hitting yard sales, some of the thrift stores in the area, and was about to give up when I found a monitor that I was able to get. Bit smaller than my other one, but it will do for now. It's new, it runs, and it will be a back up monitor if ever needed too. 

Hopefully soon I will get to the cities where I can spend more time looking, and definitely have some choices of ones to choose from too. 

By the way while driving to another location to search for a monitor I had a neat idea in the car about what to do with the one not working. As the tech told me for the age of the screen it is in good condition. So, I decided instead of throwing it out I want to repurpose the monitor. I am thinking of maybe putting some sort of cork board over it, or around the outer edging not touching the screen. I then want to add a small edge to it as well. I could then use it in the office as a message center, or I could use it on the kitchen counter as a message center too. With the edge it would have I could also set maybe a cookbook on it with recipes to use when cooking too. I am really liking this idea, and have been having visions of it too. 

Hope this finds ya'll doing well, and thanks so much for sharing some time with Thrifty Shop Girl. Enjoy your Saturday! Have fun, and hope you are able to do some thrifting, or yard sales too. See you all again soon. 

Summer Time Fun Thrift Junk and Repurpose

Summer Time Fun Thrift Junk and Repurpe

WooHoo! Here it's June finally, and summer here we come! Got big plans for this summer? Do your plans include maybe doing some thrift shopping, yard saling, flea markets, or some estate sales? Yes, my plans include these things. They also include spending time with family, friends, grilling, sunning, and events that come with all of that. I also enjoy the idea of working on some projects. I have been waiting for this time with my notes I have prepared, my lists I have been making so that I can start my searches for different treasures to use for projects I would like to complete. 

Now that it has gotten a bit warmer out I look forward to opening the garage, and getting some small projects painted. I also will enjoy filling my dining room table with some projects to complete as well. I know just like a little kid with their toy box. What can I say? I really enjoy this, and so look forward to this too. 

I hope ya'll enjoyed your weekend, and I wish you a super week too! Thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Take care till then. 

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to All of You

 Happy Memorial Day Weekend to All of You!

Wishing all of you a fun-filled safe, and enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend of Celebrations! While enjoying your weekend of celebrations with family, and friends please take a moment to remember those who have fallen, those who are still on foreign grounds, and those who are at home with us as they all fight/have fought for our freedoms of today that we enjoy.

Thoughts and Prayers to Those of Oklahoma

Thoughts and Prayers to Those of Oklahoma

I was working on some new posts for this blog when I had other thoughts from recent events of the past few days. After the devastation of what has happened to those in Oklahoma these past few days, I decided instead to have some much needed prayers sent out to all of those who have been effected by the recent tragedies. My heart goes out to all those who were caught within these horrid paths of the tornadoes. All thoughts, and prayers are with you during this time. Prayers are requested for your hearts to be healed as you are putting your lives back together. 

May God Bless you, and help you. Blessings to You in Oklahoma! 

Welcome Thrifting Friends to Thrifty Shop Girl Site

Hello my Thrifting Friends! Welcome back to Thrifty Shop Girl site to visit with me again. If you are new, glad to have you too!

Sorry, been out of the loop again a lil bit. Computer issues, computer problems, and did I mention I had an issue with the computer? Yeah! Darn things. Love them till something technical happens, and then they show their true colors becoming a pain in the bootie. 

After it was all said, and done it looks like I had a corrupted file. I hope that is all it was. But, it sure took over the computer. I lost administrative privileges to some things, cannot find files with my pictures knowing they are there in the hard drive, was not saving anything I was doing, having issues with things being done technically and not saving, and so on, and so on. 

Well, I finally got through some of it to make the computer operative for me again. Just the issue of some of the files have to be redone...some cannot be redone:( And, just dealing with things one bit at a time. I went from having 73% free space back up to 90% free space....almost like a new computer again. Yet, not completely new with some things still being a problem. But, they are minor, I do not do them all the time, and as long as the computer runs to let me do things we can get along again:)

So nice out this weekend I wanted to glue some things together, and finish some projects too. I even thought about going out of town to one of the Thrift Stores near by to go rummaging a bit. But, I didn't get it done. Kept saying walk away from computer, and deal with it later, and later came earlier that I always worked on it. Oh, well, it is back to a safe place to handle again so I guess it was all good:)

Hope this finds everyone doing well, and so far having a great week too! Thanks again for visiting with Thrifty Shop Girl everyone! Take care, and come back again soon. Have a wonderful day!:)

 

Happy Memorial Day and Weekend to All Bloggers and Blogland

Happy Memorial Day and Weekend to All Bloggers and Blogland!

Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl everyone, and glad to have you visiting with me! Wanted to stop by, and leave ya'll a quick note wishing you a wonderful fun, enjoyable, and safe holiday weekend! Hope ya'll are enjoying the time, and it has been all you wanted it to be. While out, and about I ask that you will also remember those men, and women who are gone from us. Pay tribute to them by remembering them, and thanking them for what they have done for us to have our freedoms of today. Prayers to family, and friends of those gone. A big thank you to those who lost someone in the service...you are in my prayers. 

So, any big plans this weekend, or for tomorrow? Great having a long weekend wasn't it? On Friday I stopped at a garage sale, and hit a big rummage sale. But, did not find anything that yelled at me to rescue it. Not this time anyway. There will be plenty more...summer is just begining:)

Time to be off for the night for me. Yesterday I painted some more in the bedrooms. Today I lounged more, and did some computer work. Always something to do. Hope this finds all of you doing well, having fun, and enjoying your Holiday. Take care everyone, and be safe!:) Thanks for visiting with Thrifty Shop Girl! See ya'll again real soon.

 

Thrifting Glassware Home Decor And Junking Too

Thrifting, Glassware, Home Decor, and Junking too! 

Been a while since I been thrifting, and digging. Bothering me too. Weather has been good, some sales happening, and I LOVE this time of year! But, I need to make more room, get a few things done with remodeling of the house to make the room, and to remind myself we are moving too. LOL:) Nothing like putting a damper on a Shop Girl's lively hood, right?:)

Pictured above you will see a few pieces I did find between a couple of thrift stores. Nothing much. Gotta be in the right mood to shop, and all I seem to be interested in that day was glassware. That is fine though because there are some pretty pieces to be found in glassware, and there is soooo much a person can do with reusing, and repurposing glassware also. I did something with the plate, and I'll have to see what file I put that pic in for me to share with ya'll. Turned out kind of cute, and is definitely a keeper for someone who likes the pretty, and simplicity of things too. 

Holiday weekend is almost here. Hope ya'll have plans, and are able to enjoy the time. Thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and see you again soon. Make sure to say Hi, and share about your thrifting adventures too. Take care.

 

Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl New Blog

Hello Everyone, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to have you stopping by, and visiting with Me! As you can see this is a new blog, new postings, and just new everything. I started this blog to be more of a personal one for me doing what I like to do, and sharing what I like to do also. Hmm...nice break from reality for a bit from my business blog, online stores, and etc. 

So, making some notes, getting some ideas of what I want to share here, and hopefully we can have some fun doing it too! Nothing formal, nothing fancy, just down to earth simplicity and back to the basics of things. I am usually seen walking aisles of a good ole Thrift Shop, Good Will, Second Hand Store, Consignment Shops looking for the perfect find. Now, don't get worried if you see my feet hanging out a dumpster as I have been known to do that too!

I would love for you to join me as I go thrifting, and sometimes creating unique pieces for the home, outside, or maybe even for your home too! When thrifting I hunt for things of interest which would be vintage with a twist sometimes, mixing old and new, decorating, some cool collections, maybe some unique finds . . . and the list goes on and on!

Here is to thrifting, and thinking outside the box! Thanks for stopping by to visit with Me everyone. See ya'll again real soon. Have a wonderful weekend!:)
