Guess What Day It Is Its Wacky Wednesday

Guess What Day It Is. It's Wacky Wednesday!

LOL, were expecting the camel that we are all so use to seeing in the commercials? Hey, it's cute, it's funny, but I thought I would throw something a little different to you. 

Any big plans for today? Not much on this end with me. I have a dining room table with some items on it I need to glue together, and am still not done with it. Actually, I got them there, and then stopped. That was all the further I got. I gotta be in the right mood to put things together, or they do not come out as I envision them too. Kind of like shopping too. If the mood is not there, I probably will not find any good finds, or any good deals. 

Well, it's Hump Day everyone. Do enjoy this day, have fun, and may it be productive for you as well. Thanks for visiting with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see you again soon. Toodles . . . . .

Preparing For New Season of Junkin and Thrift Shopping

Preparing For New Season of Junkin and Thrift Shopping

Hi, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to have you stopping by. In the area I live in Old Man Winter has been trying to hang onto us here, and drag the winter out longer than should be too. I believe this week it is no longer working. Sunshine days, temperatures rising during the day, temperatures warming more at night, no snow but rain, and so on. Spring is finally showing herself to us. 

With the seasons changing also comes a new season for Junkin, and Thrifting too! There have been some areas where the weather has been great, and some people have been able to start off with the seasonal shopping. I myself am getting antsy, and I envy those who have already been able to get out, and get started with this seasonal change. 

These past couple of years I had slowed down on thrifting, and junking in order to lower my inventory. Also, to change my ways of shopping to what I probably would need. Not what I seen that looks good, is cute, and have to have purchases. Although not all the inventory is gone I have lowered it quite a bit, and of course have made room for more shopping, and to go digging again too! Vintage Collectibles, find items to repurpose, look for items to upcycle, and just find some lovelies that I can reuse too.

I decided this year to stay better organized, and more prepared with things that I should make a list of items that I would like to find, search for, and find. It never fails that every year I always get sidetracked with sales, and come home with loads of things I shouldn't be buying, or you know....that really weren't needed. Come on, you know what I am talking about, right? I figured with a wish list I would at least have more of a goal of what I am wanting, what I need, and it will definitely give me more ideas of what I should be sticking with too. So, tell me, what is on your list for this year?

Thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl everyone, and hope to see you all again soon. Take care, and Happy Thriftin and Junkin too!

Good Morning Thrifters Junkers Good Will Searchers

Good Morning Thrifters Junkers and Good Will Searchers.

Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl, and glad to see you! So, tell me how was your weekend? Mine wasn't too bad here. Nice weather, been cooler at night, birthday celebrations Saturday night, and found some fun thrifting items too. 

I so enjoy glassware because I see possibilities with pieces that I get at once, or over time I collect pieces that eventually fit together the way I need them too. Along the way it never hurts to pick up a few other items that can some day serve a purpose in need too. Below you will see some pieces that I had found, brought home, and have been washed and cleaned. The green glass relish plate did not really need any cleaning, looks almost like new, but gave it a minor rinse anyway. I found a small glass candy bowl, an adorable yellow ceramic bowl, 2 glass candle holders, and a pair of clip on earrings. The shorter wider glass candle holder washed up nicely. Has a very slight light iridescent color to it when the sunshine is on it. Actually, I used it as the pedestal base on the green glass relish tray. They look very nice together. The other pieces I had found while thrifting will eventually find usage in ways for me too. 

I want to thank you so much for sharing your time at Thrifty Shop Girl, and visiting my blog today. Hope to see you again soon. Happy Thrift Store Shopping everyone till the next time. Toodle Loo......

Thrift Stores, Antique Barn Shopping, Junking

Thrift Stores, Antique Barn Shopping, Junking

Hello, and Welcome back to Thrifty Shop Girl everyone! Glad to see you here. So, how has the summer been for everyone? Where on earth did the time all go to? Seems like I was finally getting out doing a few things, and poof! It is almost gone already. Schools have started, pools are closed, and this coming weekend is Labor Day Weekend already. Doesn't seem fair, does it? Now, if we were living back down south our summers would go a little bit longer, and I would be able to go digging for things a little bit longer too. Hmmm.....see what the future holds for us. 

Above is a picture of some things I had gotten when a very good friend of mine was visiting in town. We got to a Thrift Store, and we also got out to a place on the farm that sells vintage and antiques from their barns, and shed they have designed for it. I know...with all of that offerings I should have come home with sooo much more, but I was so enjoying the time with my friend. Jibber Jabbering, sharing things, and just enjoying what time we have is what I wanted to do:)

I have 2 little blue, and white saucer plates that will probably get attached to those lovely blue glass candle holders. I picked up another milk white glass jacobs ladder vase as you see above. With the 2 vases, and those 2 vintage milk glass ashtrays I have been playing, and thinking about some things to do. That yummy green pan will stay with me. The clear glass candle holders can always be used with something, and that glass like cloche will probably get something done with it too. I just love finding things that I can put together, and make something new to be treasured again. 

By the way, I sold a gorgeous blue glass lamp that had been converted from an oil lamp to an electric one. In place of that I do think I will keep the lamp you see pictured above. Still looking at it, looks nice when it is lit, and I like things like that. Simpler times from another time in life. Gotta love it!

Well, I hope this finds everyone doing well. I appreciate ya'll stopping by to share your time with Thrifty Shop Girl! Hope to see ya'll again real soon. Take care, and safe travels with the holiday soon here. 

Happy Weekend and Happy Thrifting Everyone

Happy Weekend and Happy Thrifting Everyone!

Hello, and Welcome back to Thrifty Shop Girl! Beautiful, wonderful, sunshine day, and loving it so far! Woke early this morning, and have been working on laundry, and catching up a bit. Soon I have to leave to give son a ride...naughty boy who lost his license, and I get to taxi him now. Anyway, he has a wedding to go to, will be gone all day and night, and it is "Me" time! Soooo, was thinking of maybe hitting a second hand store, good will, or something like that. Hmmm...the possibilities:) Just need to do a lil bit of junking, or hunting if you prefer. Gotta get that fix. 

I also have to remember I am suppose to be packing soon to start getting things ready to move. So, I have to watch very carefully what I acquire. I have a couple of things in mind I am looking for to repurpose with some other glass pieces I have here. Now...if I can only find them!:)

Well everyone, I am off, and running down the road. Glad to have you dropping by Thrifty Shop Girl, and wishing you all a wonderful weekend! See you again soon.

Take care, and Happy Thrifting!:)

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!:)
