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......

Thrifting Found Vintage Wooden Hangers Green Vase

Thrifting Found Vintage Wooden Hangers, a Green Vase, and some little goodies.

Hello, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl everyone! Glad to have you here with me today. Another beautiful day, and it's going to be a great weekend for us too. As you are aware I am still working on downsizing our home, and did not do near as much Thrifting, Yard Saling, and Junking this year as I would have loved to have done. It is always hard to know what to keep, what to be rid of, donate, do I really need to keep this or this, and etc. It so happens that I am not the only one that faces these same issues...whew! 

It is hard because we all like the glitter, the glamor, the collecting of pieces, and also finding pieces that some craft or repurpose with too. I did find someone making a comment that has kind of stuck with me too. I will share it with you, and see what you think of it. "All we truly need is one another. The rest is just, well, stuff." How true! Much of it is stuff, some of it is personal/family memories which are always good to keep, etc. So, this summer I have held myself back, and when I did go Thrifting I was a bit more selective with few pieces I would get too. 

Above is a small amount that had come from another estate sale I had attended. I seen a few more things, liked them, but sometimes some of the prices are not anything to deal with too. On this particular trip I did get some wonderful old time hangers. I have some ideas, and hope by spring to implement some of it too. I did find a green glass vase that is also a vintage piece along with an aqua colored wrapped wired hanger for ties, and some adorable coasters too. Wasn't much, but it did satisfy me at this particular time with these few items. 

I want to thank you for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and I look forward to you visiting again as well. Take care, and have a wonderful weekend everyone! Happy Thrifting:)

Have a Great Day and Wonderful Weekend Everyone

Have a Great Day, and a Wonderful Weekend Everyone in Blogland!

Hello, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to have you here, and happy that you found me too. First of all, I finally did it. I now have a .com domain from GoDaddy that leads to my blog here. So much easier to remember too. Yes, you can now find me at http://www.ThriftyShopGirl.com I will try it for the year, play with it, test it a bit, and will enjoy it till then too. 

I hope that all of you had a wonderful holiday weekend. Mine wasn't too bad. I got to see a very good friend of mine that I do not often see because of the distance apart we live. Course, when we get together we like to talk 'shop' all the time. You know, talk about any new thrift stores we found, or heard of. What we found when we were out thrifting. We also like to discuss different things, and different techniques of repurposing, and upcycling some of the pieces too. We could carry on forever it seems like, and our time really does pass fast. Never enough time together to cover everything. So, we have to then revert to emailing, sending pictures, or showing our listings of what we are offering for sale. 

Wow! Holiday weekend is done, and gone. Here is the weekend again already! Any big plans anyone? Nothing here really. The County fair does start this weekend, but not sure if I will make it over there, or not. I need to get pictures done so that I can share some pieces I had found during my thrifting times. Hmmm....maybe I will share a few pictures of what I have done with some pieces too. 

Hey, thanks so much for visiting, and sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl! Always nice to have you visit with Me, and hope to see you again soon. Take care, and have a wonderful weekend everyone!:)

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. 

Thrifty Shop Girl Thrifty Garage Sale Finds

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........
