Just when I thought I'd discovered all the good thrifting spots in my area, I found a treasure trove in the next town over. An entire basement filled to over-flowing with just the kind of stuff I love! Here are a few of the goodies I uncovered yesterday...
Can you believe I procured this gorgeous aquamarine Doric and Pansy depressionware teacup and saucer for 75 cents?? It's in pristine condition. How cool is that?
I was looking for old sheet music, and I hit the motherlode! They had an entire rack of it, and for only 50 cents each. The old medicine bottle with a ground glass stopper was $1.50, a good price, but twice what I paid for the depression teacup and saucer... go figure. The lonely little glove didn't have a mate, so I got it for a quarter. It will look great in a shadow box.
I found another old handbag for a frame/wall pocket, two hooks for the halltree I'm determined to build one day. Still looking for the perfect door for it's base, though.
I just couldn't resist these old patterns, and at 50 cents each, I had no reason too. And last, but certainly not least, I found this...
Bingo!!
The original box is in pretty rough shape, and held together with clear tape, but the game itself is in wonderful condition. How much did I pay, you ask? I had to take a deep breath to fork over the asking price... .80 cents! All in all, it was a wonderful day for thrifting. I wish you all the best of luck on your own thrifting ventures. Just stay out of my territory...
Wow! Great stuff, but the best is a new shopping venue close to home!
