Vintage Hurricane Electric Lamp 1970s White Hobnail Base Hand Painted Roses

Vintage Hurricane Electric Lamp 1970s White Hobnail Base and Hand Painted Roses

I just love thrift stores, second hand stores, yard sales, and all of those places! There is so many things that are discarded, people donate, and thankfully instead of throwing or letting them accumulate dust, they give them to such places. So many treasures to be found, and above it one of those treasures.

About a year ago when thrifting with another friend of mine I had found this lamp. I adore the hurricane lamps, and those with the globes too. This one has the adorable key like on, and off switch. Has a long brown cord, is so clean, shiny, the milk white is gorgeous with the beaded hobnail design surrounding the edge, vibrant coloring in the hurricane yet, and still works too! I have had this sitting on my great grandmother's old end table in the living room during that time. I think I have only used it once during that time. Most of the time it was just there for show really. 

That time of year again to rearrange, clear out some of the treasures I have, and of course making room for some new ones to be found. So, with this vintage hurricane electric lamp I have decided to sell it with my shop at Etsy. If you like give a click, hop on over to view the pictures, and details with this too. It can also be purchased through my Etsy shop called LilacsNDreams, or if you contact Me I can invoice you for this adorable 1970s hand painted hurricane lamp too. Contact Me, and I would be happy to assist you with this. 

I love this time of year when things are fresh, growing, and of course all the wonderful treasures that come out for others to enjoy. I wish you all a wonderful Wednesday. Thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and see you again soon. Take care treasure hunters!

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 Please Remember Our Heroes

 Happy Memorial Day Please Remember Our Heroes!

Make this a special day for you, and for your families. Please, remember to stop for a moment to remember those who cannot be with their loved ones. They have paid the ultimate price for our freedoms, and the same for those who are serving far away too. Bless them all!

While enjoying this Memorial Day with the family, and friends and as we fire up the grills to eat our burgers, and hot dogs, I ask you to please remember why we are celebrating this day. We are celebrating our many freedoms that have been fought for, and that have been won by some brave men and women. Today some cannot be home with their families as they are still serving. There are those who have given the greatest sacrifice by laying down their lives to guarantee us the joy of this day! Please, do remember and honor them All!

Giving thanks to all those who have given their tomorrows so that we all can have ours! For those who are on foreign soil still protecting us, and keeping us free today. . . . Stay safe, and return to enjoy the freedoms that you fight for!

So, today/anytime that you see someone in uniform, or maybe you know of someone serving our country, Please walk up to them and shake their hand, give them a hug, or salute them as well. Tell them Thank You for what you have done for Me, for my Family, for our Friends, and for our Country. Believe Me, they really do enjoy this, and are very happy to receive this from all of us. I have watched it done to our son when he comes home to visit, and the smile with pride he gets on his face for knowing he is doing our country good. 

Have a fun-filled enjoyable Memorial Day everyone. Be Safe, and God's Blessing to All!

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. 

Blessings to them all, God Bless The Military of America!

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!
