That's what Thrift Share Monday feels like for me, so I love it. Here are my "wares" from the past weekend of tag/estate/church rummage sales:
Milk glass - I especially love the candy dish - both only $1 |
Yay! An old tube radio -- Randy LOVES these, this was in great shape even though only the AM works - $5 at a barn sale. |
3 strings of lights and upholstery tassel trim (for future guitar projects) a pretty tin and a quilted lined lunch bag -- this pile cost me $8.25 |
Note cards, vintage rick rack & bias tape, very old matchbook and what I THINK are "BeDazzler" bedazzles, but what I am going to use as push pins on my inspiration board or hammer them into a guitar |
One of several 60's era Life magazines I picked up |
Things have not changed, the media are still freaked out about "subteens" growing up too fast. Watch out for those FANCY HAIRDOS! |
You know you want it...it's FESTIVE. |
I'm very excited about this issue which is in EXCELLENT shape and is FULL of photos that I can use for decoupage |
NOT SHOWN: Art Deco End table for $5 - I need to clean it up and I'll post the before/after shots. I also picked up what I THOUGHT was a costume jewelry ring for $5 -- silver toned with faux sapphires and diamonds...but today I noticed that it was stamped 14K inside the band. Now I'm wondering if it is in fact, real. I also picked up some Pyrex but will post that in a different post as it was drying in a dish drainer last night while I photographed the other stuff.
I am linking to Apron Thrift Girl, Thrift Share Monday -- because I want to see everybody's wares.
You found some cool stuff!! I love reading through vintage magazines. Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! I am super jealous of the milk glass!
ReplyDeleteYou got some wonderful stuff and at great prices! The milk glass is really nice. And the vintage magazines would be a great source of entertainment.
ReplyDeleteI hope your ring turns out to be a fabulous buy!

Fancy hairdos! Too funny. Great price on the milk glass
ReplyDeleteOh yes fancy hairdoos will ruin you! I am so jealous of your kit kat clock! I am heading out to the Cape this weekend. Any good thrifting recommendations?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great radio! I can never pass them up that is why I have four turntables. lol. The Westmoreland milk glass piece is lovely as well!
ReplyDeletePofV - I love to read vintage magazines too, I especially love the ads and use them in scrapbooking/decoupage.
ReplyDeleteFeelsliketime/Chino & Milo: Sometimes the milk glass gods smile upon me, sometimes not so much - I have about 5 pieces, so I suppose I am an official collector, now.
Tammy - I am trying to think of a way to get a jeweler to look at it without getting a formal appraisal - I guess if it IS real, I'll get one just so I can really enjoy what a huge bargain it was. ;)
Monogirl - If I see a REAL Kit Kat Klock I'm going to pounce on it, I'm cool with the repro for now, though.
Beccalina - I end up buying lots of old radios, and I have a really old record player, on of those portable Columbia Sterophonics. One of my other holy grails is a decent mid-century cabinet stereo/radio that still works.
