Quick Thrift Store Visit

I'm so proud of myself when I have sudden bursts of self-discipline. 

I actually went into the thrift store today,

but only allowed myself to stay a few minutes. 

Didn't dig through books for an hour. 

In.  And. Out.

 

Yay!  Go me!!

 

I spent less than $5.00, give or take a few. 

Who's counting, anyway???

(ummm...my husband!  Doh!)

(And if you really must know, the reason why I couldn't play "thrift store" longer today is because I've moved my booth into a much bigger room and I'm working myself sick.  Ugh.  Exciting times but it's killer work.  I know it looks like fun and IT IS, but being a "dealer", or a good one,
is HARD, VERY HARD work).

 

I grabbed it for the frame. $1.00. Sadly, that bird is going in the trash.

It was eaten by feather eating somethings. Ick

.20 cents for this wooden heart.  It's the sweetest thing.  I'm in love.

  It's a gorgeous ox-blood red color. 

I think they made these things in shop, back in the day.  Do they still? 

 

$1.00.  It's unmarked but it "reads" Homer Laughlin and my rule is,

"No Homer Laughlin left behind"

(or Homer Laughlin look alikes). 

It's a cute little bowl, perfect for something. 

 

Am I the only one excited about these?  .50 cents a piece. 

Best. Show. EVER!!!  McDonald's, 1981.  

 

A vintage pot holder for .10 cents, a set of pillow cases .50 cents a piece and.........

A .50 cent, tiny PLASTIC GNOME!!!

He freakin' winked at me and I was like.....whaaaa?

Holy Cow, you're comin' home with me, little fella!!!

I want to put him in my purse as my good luck charm or as my "conscience".

Like Jiminy Cricket or something.

Oh my gosh, I love him so much.



2 vintage cards for .10 cents. 

I will never pass up inexpensive vintage paper. 

Never ever.

A small little pottery planter marked Japan.  I like these things. 

Perfect for a window ivy or succulant. 

I'm sure it's from the early 70's. 

.50 cents. 



What should I name him? 
He just winked at you and told you to say hello in the comments section. 
True story!

 

~Blessings to all Thrifty peoples~

He is actually thinking mean thoughts about Nana, if you really must know. 

ROFL  Had to be there, I guess).
