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!!
Thrifty Shop Girl Thrifty Garage Sale Finds.
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........
Thrift Store Junkies and All Thrifters, Welcome!
Just wanted to stop by, and leave a short note with you all to have a wonderful weekend. Hope ya'll are able to do a little thrifting, hit some yard sales or maybe some estate sales, attend some flea markets, or whatever it is.......that you are able to find some refound treasures. Nothing soothes the soul like finding some sort of a treasure to make your day, right?:)
So, I wish you all well, and thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl! Oh, yeah, I almost forgot! In my internet goofing around today I started a facebook page for me as well. So, yeah, I can be found on Facebook as ThriftyShopGirl. I just started my Gmail account, so I am playing around with that Google+ thing yet too. I will get back to ya'll on that when I have gotten a lil bit further with it:)
Thanks again for visiting with Thrifty Shop Girl. Take care, and have a swell weekend. See you next week everyone!:)
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!:)
