Thrift Finds-- Finally!

Since Christmas, the thrifty finds have been very thin to non-existent around here, but I finally had some luck this week.  What a nice feeling to see some interesting items! The unopened box of Snoopy valentines was a real stroke of luck as I was just thinking it's time to buy valentines for the annual school kids' exchange.

Very vintage rolling pin and one of those "flip open" address books for your desk; it was never used.

Not sure if I'll have any luck selling this shoe. Kind of old-fashioned, but it is pretty and in fine condition. Reminded me of an aunt I had who collected figurines of shoes. This egg cup is cute.  Might not be too old. Anyone know for sure?  It was made in Germany.

I rarely do this, but I went back to the thrift store later in the day to see if these plastic dishes were still there.  They were. Fun set.  I like the sugar bowl and creamer!

And as long as I went back... I bought a few more things.

Can you imagine crocheting this dress, hat, and teeny booties (or do you spell it "bootees?").

Even found a few goodies for my daughter.  All in all, it was a good day even though it snowed non-stop!

Enjoy!

  2. OH, I'm jealous of the Snoopy cards and that Bobbsey Twinsbook! The plastic dishes are a cool find - 60's do you think?

  3. Wow, I didn't realize just how tiny the doll was until I saw it next to the penny! They must have used a magnifying glass to crochet the dress. You found some great things, and a ready made shoe collection too! :)

  6. I like your finds too! I'm a big fan of rolling pins and have several from my grandmothers. I hate to ask on your open comments, but I'm unable to leave a comment on Lavender Dreams blog (don't know why but I keep getting those "oh, snap" things from blogger. I can't see all her comments per blog post or leave one because the page is too "short." Anyway, if you are able to leave one for her, please tell her I said welcome and that I look forward to reading her posts too. Thanks, Diane!
