Thriftasaurus #94
HEY THRIFTERS! How's it going? Fellow Canadians - how was your Canada Day? Americans, how was your 4th of July? Everyone else, how was your week? I was exhausted this week. The days I usually do my thrifting & hunting, I hit snooze. I did manage to make it to one of the thrifts as they were ditching their unsold auction goods onto the shelf. Lucky for me, this month I actually found a couple items interesting & even luckier, they never sold, even luckier, I got their before the dealers did, even luckier... they were a good price! Dealers scooted in a few minutes after me. I usually make it a rule not to thrift on that particular day, but was in the area to buy something for my dog, so had to stop in!
& vintage salt & pepper shakers with rhinestones, LOVE.
I don't know why I bought this really, empty hand syndrome probs? Anyways, made in Germany... Years ago I had purchased a Mimosa Plant (or "Sensitive Plant") that I never planted. My ex-friend had told me I would kill it, great positive, thinker, eh? Anyways, I still have it, so I am going to buy some soil... plant that seed & see what grows!
I bought another item to resell, it recently sold on eBay for $17.99 BIN (only one), I paid $3.99 & will list mine for $29.99 considering mine is in better condition. I'm having a real hard time with eBay lately. I've got the goods, other peoples are selling... I've got it in better condition for a couple dollars more or even the same price, no bites! I hope this item sells. I'll have to wait & see...
I had some fantastic finds during my road trip to Detroit! I miss those northern garage sales, (even went to Canada for the day!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for Thriftasaurus. Added an old stool (which I did repaint) this week.

That must be the world's scariest lamb. I suffer from empty hand syndrome too.
ReplyDeleteI love the owl salt and pepper shakers!

ReplyDeleteGreat vintage ceramic finds. The lamb is definitely a little on the sinister side. And if it doesn't sell, you can just repaint it as Rudolf ;)

ReplyDeletei adore that west german planter! i would have picked it up without thinking! a mimosa plant sounds like a perfect inhabitant for it!
