Thrifted!

These three items cost me $2.00 total - that's my kind of thrift shopping!!

I have been wanting a Santa boot for a while, now I havea pair and they are marked officially, Santa's Boot - you could get a lot of candy in these!!  I paid 25 cents for each boot - I think that's a crazy price - in a good way!

I wonder if this is an indication I will find some great old ornaments this season - purchased two boxes for $1.50 - the ornaments in one box are all from Poland, the other box from Japan.  I hope I can find enough to make another wreath - last year the pickins' were slim!!  

I felt like it was just like the old days - I found three Vera scarves, I've paid as much as $2 for a scarf at this shop before, today they were 25 cents for the three, yes, 25 cents total!!  I love the nautical one and the Verasheer one is a ladybug one, this was a great find for me!

It makes it so much more fun when you go into these places and find something you want - did you find anything good this week?

Tree #1

This is one of my small trees, it's mostly all ornaments that belonged to my Mom and my Grandmother  - more trees to come...  Clicking on the picture will get you a closer view.  Check out the link up party at Thrifty Things Friday and Countdown to Kitschmas

I found the angel last year at a thrift

The feather type ornament must be quite old, not seen many like that around....

I always loved these honeycomb snowmen and there are bells too.

We never had the elves at home, these are ones that I thrifted.

The candycane is very plush!

Dad used to make the walnut people.

We always had the Putz houses on the tree, who knew that they were called that..

Another plush - the wreath

The teardrop ornnament belonged to my mother-in-law 

This is not on the tree - another ornament that belonged to my mother in law - this looks really old.....

A Week's Worth of Stuff

This was definitely the best thing I found this week - but I can't identify it - I blogged on the Pyrex Collective and put it on Flickr, nobody knows the pattern. It's a JAJ piece of Pyrex, made in England - and so pretty - it'll be great to use for Halloween next year.  

$3 was the price on this beauty.

I don't think these "mocha spoons" were ever used - I found some forks in the summer and had no trouble selling them

I seem to be picking up any older and cute Christmas books - for those future grandchildren, I guess.....

Russian Roulette - The Game of Chance, Bluff and Daring.  It was never used, the money is crisp, the chips were never punched out.

Flinch - never heard of it before...

I bought the Santa and runner for $1 - the sticker on the bottom of the Santa reads - Brinn's, Pittsburgh, PA, Made in Japan

What's the chance of finding two music boxes, the very same, in the same week.  Well, I did.  I only paid 50 cents for this one - I'm going to have a Christmas draw in a couple of weeks... This cutie could be coming to your house.  She plays Jingle Bells

As you can see, I didn't get the twelve ornaments, it says they are made in Poland, some are in the box, some say Slovakia.  The music box and these ornaments came from the came shop, 50 cents for the box.

I can't help myself, more Christmas books!

I always like to read a Christmas book or two around this time of the year, both second hand and both probably read once.

This sweet little Care Bears plate from the 80's is going to my friend, Holly.

I don't need any more tins and it's not even vintage, I bought it at Liquidation World,it looks it though, and it was so cute, I had to buy the smaller one too.

How often do you get a gift for browsing in a store.  It happened to me yesterday, I was  in the Christmas section at Sears, a clerk passed me this gift - candy, pretzels, cookies and tea - how nice is that......

Junkin' Joe is back and I'm linking up here.  I'm also joining the party at Share Your Cup Thursday
