What I find at My Thrift Store!

30

I'm sitting at my computer downloading the pictures for this post and I look out the window and my neighbor is putting these curb side!

Free to me.

I was in my pj's, so I had to run get dressed before someone else stopped.

Don't ask how many chairs I have now. But I can seat everyone of you if you came over for a glass of wine.

This is Renninger's Extravaganza. I went on Sunday by myself. I was there for 3hours and only saw about 1/3 of the place. I did buy old wooden snowshoes, I have been looking for them for a while. Too big for me. And I never saw so much junk. Real junk.

Joan at Anything Goes Here ask what I have found at my Thrift Store.
I think she means you too. Anyway, I have the best Thrift. I almost always find good stuff. That's why I go everyday. Sometime I have a dry spell but that's ok. This is why I need to start up an Etsy shop. I just love the hunt.

There are only 3 but these the the sweetest cup and saucer of milk glass. In great condition.

No chips or cracks

A refrigerator jug.

The glass bowl was made in Italy.

I like the size and shape of the milk glass vase.

Someone spent alot of time doing this. Why would they stop and then put them in the thrift?

I got a few of these. I'm putting newspaper in this one the my fire pit.

I should make some pillows out of them.

These cute old hats are just so pretty.

Do you think I have enough scrabble letters? The light bulb is 200 watts. I'm afraid to put it in a lamp. But I love the look.

I'm really into old books. I like this color and that it says Our Home. I have it right by the front door.

I love this glass jar. I had vintage ornaments in it for Christmas.



Ok, that's about 1 weeks worth. They open at 9am and they are working hard putting good stuff out for me. So I need to go.

Have a good day to all.

Girlfriends!

My BFF came over last night while we were eating dinner. This use to happen all the time. You see, she use to live down the street from us. We both moved here 17 years ago. I was pregnant and her baby was 6 months old. We became fast friends. Alot has happened in our lives. She knows me so well and still loves me and my dysfunctional family. She is the friend that can come over when the house is a mess and not even notice. Let me tell you something about Lori, she is tall, thin, blonde and has big boobs! I'm not and don't. I really do try not to be in my bathing suit when she is. She still wears a bikini at 47/48! And looks amazing. And I don't hate her for it. Oh yah, she is even more beautiful on the inside.

Ok, I was thinking about taking a boot camp class in 1 hour, now I have to go.

I'm back. I did it. My first boot camp with another friend. This girl is such an inspiration to me. I'm just a luck girl. We use to go to La Fitness for a couple years and then I started slacking off. Now we have a new 24fitness even closer that she switch over too. Also, let me say she never stopped going to the gym. But she never judged me for not going. She always said-you'll come back when you are ready-and I did. Why do we stop doing something that feels so good? And she has an amazing blog! I had no clue she was such an amazing writer. She was my middle daughters girl scout leader forever and she is 20 now. I do have to say I had 3 great girl scout leaders.

I think this is getting to long.

To be continued

Anyway, I'm a lucky girl. I have all kinds of friends. I still hang with some high school friends. I have friends that I don't talk to very often but when I do it's just like I saw them yesterday.

I'm going with Phyllis(high school) to visit Debbie(BFF high school) this weekend. Debbie has been my maid of honor a few times. But that's another blog. It took me a few times to get it right. I have been married 23yrs now. Alot of people don't know that about me.

An Award for me!

Look what I got from my sweet niece!

I hope she didn't feel the need because we are family.

Well, I'll take it.

It was her gramma's.


She was always doing crafts in the Florida room when I went to her house.

It's orange, I have never seen an orange one.

I love it!

And it's more special because of who it came from

Thanks Nancy!

ps-I'm off to Renningers Extravaganza tomorrow.

Magazine Obsession!

This is what I read and look at in the evening.
I found so many blogging friends here!

I always wondered who these people were and if they are real people.

Laura has even left me a comment on my blog!

So I know she is really a real person.

This is such a cute idea. I will be doing it.

I'm learning more about these guys. I saw them at The Farm Chick Show last year.

There booth was amazing. I'm hoping they are there this year.

Happy Friday to all!

White Wednesday

First I think we all need a little more snow.

Montana!

I picked up these doilies at a garage sale. So much work to me.


Whoops, I did it again.

Sorry



I love this phone. It works very well. My kids didn't know how to call on it.

She is waiting for it to warm up.

Soon now!

Thanks Kathleen for hosting. I have been looking at this for quite a while.

Another chair! I think I have a problem.

I just love the worn look of old wood in furniture. Especially well made furniture.
The natural worn spots from years of use.

I thought you would want to see this one again.

(I can't figure out how to delete one picture)

I would rather have this then a fancy polished piece.

Can you see it?

$3.93!

This is the best Thrift.

Happy day to you

Estate Sale find!

My rule is never walk away from an old wooden chippy Adirondack chair if it's a good price.

Let's see, now I have 9! How many sitting areas can a person have in one yard?
So I saw this one in the back yard of an estate sale. I play these little games with myself. I thought, if it's more then $2.00 I won't buy it. Sometimes I talk to myself, I have noticed others do this at thrifts and estate sales. I fell they are the true junkers.
Anyway, I looked to see the price and it was $3.00! I bought it anyway.




I hoped you could see the price. I'm sorry.

It's this beautiful dull, chippy gray. And it's solid. I thought it has to be wobbly.
