I went thrifting again. It's a good thing I shop at the thrift stores otherwise my spending could get out of control. I wonder how many of my sentences begin with..."I was at a thrift store/ yard sale/ flea market/ Goodwill..." haha
More baskets. I may have a bit of an obsession with baskets which I am sure gathered from my previous
post.

| Goodwill $12 for all! |
| Look at this awesome chalkboard. I have seen so many DIY chalkboards out there in blog-land but I couldn't make one for less the price of this after I bought all the supplies I needed. |
 |
| Goodwill $8! Nice heavy wood frame and neat little compartments for chalk and an eraser. |
These cool wood and rusty metal scroll-work plaques. One has a bracket for a pot. So cute!
 |
| Goodwill, $4 for the pair |
RRP (Robinson Ransbottom Pottery) Crock Feeder 5. Excellent condition, no cracks and no chips. I have seen these listed on-line for as low as $5 upwards to $25 depending on condition. Then factor in shipping at $8-$15. Yeah, I got a good deal!

| Vintage Market and Thrift, $8 |
This has to be my favorite!! This wood tool box is 30 inches wide and 9 inches deep. Can't you just picture this with flowers spilling over the sides. I definitely overpaid and broke my rule of letting my emotion get the better of me. Could I have made one cheaper? Yes. Would I have done that? No. I just...HAD to have it!

Vintage Market and Thrift. I haggled the price down from $32 to $20. More than I wanted to pay, but I didn't want to kick myself later for NOT buying it.
However, here is where I scored my best deal!! This picture doesn't do these justice. I scored 2 of these "wind chimes". Each has 11 of the 5 1/2 inch iridescent glass prisms. The prisms alone could cost $85-$100. I have MAJOR plans for these crystals. They are definitely not staying as wind chimes. |

| Vintage Market and Thrift, $6 for each!! |
SO it was a pretty decent haul even if I did overpay slightly for a few items. What about you, any good bargains of late?
A woman after my own heart! I LOVE hitting the thrift stores and scoring awesome finds. I'll be sharing another one I scored today later this week. Of course it was just one thing this trip but for a last minute decision to stop I feel it was was meant to be. Good scores!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE me some good junkin'! lol And you're right some days there is the inexplicable pull to go to one of my thrift stores unexpectedly and then I find something unexpected and wonderful. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can go to yard/garage/ rummage sales!
ReplyDeleteI love thrift stores! I have been scouting out the ones in the nearest town for jars, lately, but recently found two brand new end table lamps for 9 bucks a piece. Originally from Sears, who knows how expensive those would actually cost.
ReplyDeleteYour finds are awesome. That chalk board is really neat!
@PC--Thanks! I swear I could have amnesia and I would STILL find my way to the thrift stores, haha. Good or bad depending on how you look at it there several dozen antique/ thrift stores within a 20 min driving radius of me. I could literally shop until I drop. Or am broke. Or both.
DeleteThat is an awesome score on your lamps because lamps are soooo expensive! Did you post pics on your blog?
