Back to Thrifting

It was two weeks since I had been around to my regular thrifting haunts- Wednesday I went -  it was a great day - I found something at every stop - except Value Village, no luck there, at all...

First stop - St. Vincent de Paul - it wasn't a big purchase - only 75 cents total, but I think it made my happiest - those knee huggers are just so cute..


These cute little guys were just in a bin of junk - their faces are dirty and need a little scrubbing and some glue needs to be used for the red cap



Look - they have the original sticker - Japan.


I know this guy is a newer version but he still looks pretty nice perched in the tree.


Next stop - Salvation Army, I have never bought so many things in there and all I paid was $5.25 - for EVERYTHING.

The illustrations in this book are sweet ...

I like the reindeer sitting down for a reindeer meal.





A Little Golden Book version - Rudolph is quite handsome with his nose so shiny and bright!



Five paper loot bags - not plastic


These crepe paper party crowns were in with the loot bags - there were three.  


This box was full of vintage greeting cards, I never find anything like that!

The monkey card has a punch out figure on the back



I remember the Fuller Brush man coming around with his wares and who's Mother and Grandmother didn't wear one of these rain caps?  Mine did!

Three Vera wing tip scarves


I passed glasses like this one time before, I don't know why I bought them, I just like them, I guess.  I'll be listing them.


Butterprint 441 - is there anyone out there who needs this bowl - I would be willing to trade.

All that for $5.25 - and I forgot to go back for a Saltines tin that I saw first time round.

Next stop, Jarrett Center - three items purchased, $1.75 spent.  So, my total for the day was $7.75 - not bad...


Snowflake 403


This hardcover was published in 1953 - I picked it up as soon as I saw it, the cover is sweet.


Another Vera, not one of her prettier designs - but you grab them when you can.
