Prairie Schooler Designer and Bucilla Cross Stitch Embroidery Kits For Christmas

Christmas will soon be here. There is much thrifting being done to find things to craft with for this big holiday as well.  Hey, don't forget about Halloween in a few weeks, and of course Thanksgiving too.

I am sharing another Thrifter, Junker, Treasure Hunter who has some really neat things she is offering at Ebay. These Cross Stitch, Embroidery, Series Collection kits have been a pretty good seller for her. Visit MaryLouLavender*s at Ebay, and see what other vintage kits she is offering, or sometimes you find informational booklets as well. How much fun for those who wish to craft all year long, and especially with Christmas approaching too. 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and wishing you a super week. Enjoy your thrifting, crafting, and vintage hunting everyone. Thanks for visiting Thrifty Shop Girl, and see you all again soon. 

Upcycled Repurposed Vintage Wooden Hangers

Upcycled Repurposed Vintage Wooden Hangers, and how neat of an idea that these are too! 

So, how many of you have some of these old wooden hangers hanging around collecting dust? How many times have you been out thrifting, and yard saling when you have seen these being offered for little to nothing? I know, like me I would see them, and wonder what on earth could be done with these. After roaming the internet for a little bit researching this idea I now know from others there are quite a few things that we can do with them. 

Upcycle vintage wooden hangers into towel bars, decoupe them, make a photo gallery with them, seen a wonderful coat hanger made with wooden hangers, paint them, make them into jewelry holders, repurpose some hanging lights, and there is so much out there being shared by many other creative people. After seeing some of these things I know now not to get rid of my wooden hangers I have been collecting. I also am anxious, and hoping to find more when I am out thrifting too. 

Feels good to be back into circulation with everything again, and to be back here with my blog as well. Some of the time away did me some good too. Thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl! See you all again soon, and till then . . . Happy Thrifting!!

Vintage Collectibles Cast Aluminum Wall Plaque

Vintage Collectibles Cast Aluminum Wall Plaque / My Wife Has a Drinking Problem Me!

Sometimes we do not have to go outside our homes to go thrifting. Once in a while some good old house cleaning, organizing, and downsizing can make a big difference for us all too. Well, upon going through things at home, look at what I found! I forgot I had this, and of course had a good laugh with it too. Had it sitting out for a while so that the kids could laugh at it when they visited, and of course for hubby to get a chuckle about it too. 

I remember this piece being at my grandparent's place on the farm. Yes, they were farmers all their lives, and they sure had some yummy finds just going through their barns, and things too. I so miss those days, and some of the things that had disappeared over time too. 

Anyway, what a conversational piece this could make for another happy home. Would give everyone a good chuckle when visiting you. I have this listed with Ebay with free shipping. Hop on over to have a look, see all the pictures, read the description, and see the details. If you have any specific questions make sure to contact Me as I would be happy to assist you. 

Thanks for visiting with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see you again soon. Happy Thrifting!

Thrift Shop Finds From Weekend Thrifting, and what fun it is too!

Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl, and I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! Great weather here, thought maybe rain, but it didn't happen. Instead I hit one of the local shops just to get out of the house, you know what I mean? LOL:) Anyways, above you will see the little goodies that I found to bring home. This is one shop I like to visit with now, and then. Their prices are generally very reasonable, and sometimes I am lucky finding things too. 

Now, some of the items pictured above of course are to fit into my own home decor, or to use in the office too. As for the remaining pieces I have some plans for them. I have been gathering a few odds, and ends so that I can get busy with some repurposing, and upcycling of things. I enjoy doing it, have fun with visualizing, and creating a few things. A few posts later from now I am hoping to be able to share with you the completed pieces. 

With these completed pieces they sometimes will stay with my home, are given as gifts, but most times I put them into my shops online to offer to everyone. Ecrater, Etsy, and sometimes at Ebay I offer such things. Everyone should be able to also enjoy these things too. But, some do not have the time to do it themselves. As a customer once told me she could do some of the things I do, but does not have the time or patience for it. She would rather pay someone who has done the work of finding pieces, putting them together, and sometimes adding some of the pretties with it too. 

So, tell me, how was the weekend for everyone else? Were you able to go thrifting, maybe junking, of just some good old digging and hunting for things? Such a wonderful way to pass time, and better yet if you have a friend with you that also enjoys the same things. 

Wishing you all a wonderful Monday, and thanks so much for visiting with Thrifty Shop Girl. I enjoy it, and hope to see you again soon. Till the next time my friends, Happy Thrifting!

Thrift Shop Fun Over the Weekend

Thrift Shop Fun Over the Weekend was not quite as productive as I would have liked. But, hey I did get a few things at one thrift shop. 

I like them older tin pie plates. I am slowly trying to collect a few of them as I have a creative project in mind for them. If I could ever get enough for my thought I will then be able to share the results with ya'll here. 

I adore the white, and blue quiche pie dish that I found. Very soft blue coloring, very white, shiny, clean, and looks unused too. I am thinking of adding a blue glass goblet to the bottom of it to make a cake cupcake stand. What is great about those stands is they have many possibilities, and uses for them too. Serving, kitchen organizing, bathroom organizing, office organizing, holidays, special occasions, gifts, and endless possibilities. 

Well, I slacked off this past week with my shops at Ecrater and Etsy, and with my blogs. It's summer time, and it happens to me now and then. How about you? I spent one day mowing the yard, and one of the big old evergreens decided it needed to come alive, and attach me. I got a big old bruise on my hand from it, scratched arm and leg too. Hubby has orders to be using the saw to do some trimming of this tree so I am not attached again....LOL:) I have spent some time with getting pictures done, and researching a few things to list with Ebay since they are having a special this week with listing. Not my most favorite place to use, but I do need to clean house a bit too.

I will have to come back, and share more pictures with you have some more thrift store finds, and what I have done with some of those items. I am reusing things into my home decor with the office, and in our bathroom. What fun when you can add a little sparkle, and creativity to your life, isn't it?

Hope ya'll had a wonderful 4th of July holiday, and that you have a gorgeous week too! Seasons will soon change, school soon starting, and I have got to get a move on to get a few more projects done myself. 

Thanks for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see ya'll again real soon. Have a sweet day everyone!!
