Thrift Stores, Yard Sales, Flea Markets, and Junking too! No matter what season we are into there is always some digging to be done, right?
Hello, and Welcome Back to Thrift Store Junkies everyone. Glad to have you stopping by to visit. You know, I sometimes dread fall. I so enjoy summers, and warmer weather so that I can do more thrifting, and junking. I enjoy having the warmer weather to create in, and being able to paint a lil more too. Sometimes when fall comes I get a lil bit dreary with it. I know I should feel good about it as many do, and many have those creative juices flowing again too. But, I just cannot feel alive with it as I can spring, and summer time. Oh, well, such is life, right?
So, what has everyone been up to? My schedules have been way off for quite some time now. Dealing with our car hubby got me last year, the service techs, the service manager, and now with GM. Finally someone believes me there is something wrong, and I have some mechanics who are having issues finding the problem they are hearing too.
Hubby is back home, and has changed our plans of moving. I was looking forward to heading south, but he is in love with the house again from remodeling that has been done. So, when the hubs is home my schedule is way off again too.
Things shall soon calm that I can work on my listings again, putting some things together, and then finding a way that I can still paint some small projects for during the winter months too. The house will calm, and I can then work on my long over due scrapbooking as well too. Table is set up in the spare room for this, scrapbook papers are there in reach, containers with embellishments need to be better organized, but that is also coming together as well.
So, what have you been up to lately yourselves? Any Thrifting, or Junking? Would love to hear from you, and have you share a little bit with all of us too. Please know that you can.
Hey, thanks again for sharing your time with Thrift Store Junkies. Always glad to have you drop in, and make sure you say Hi so that I can come visit with you too. Take care, and see you again soon! Toodles..........
Thrift Store Yard Sales Tag Sales and Junkin, oh what fun it is!
Hello, and Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies everyone. Glad to have you stopping by to visit. I have been MIA again, and I apologize for that. I work to keep up the main page of my blog LilacsNDreams along with working on LilacsNDreams Shoppe page too.
That time of year I have been itching for, and I am sure some of you as well have had this feeling too. When the weather is nice, and we can get out to do some descent thrifting, and hitting some of them yard sales. I haven't done a whole lot myself. Just a little bit here, and there. Sometimes I do stop to look, but just don't see anything of interest either. Sometimes is depressing...especially if you are really in the mood to go diggin, and find something. But, that is ok. I have plenty at home to work with, clean up, repurpose with, etc. Yeah, I have a few things here to stay busy with yet so I can get them listed with different internet shops I have. Yes, I will make sure to share here also with all of you:)
What you see pictured above is what came from the last sale I attended. I love the vintage scale I found, adore the wooden hangers found...got some ideas for my walls with these, and as you can see a few other little goodies too. In this area some of the prices on these certain sales are something else! Some items will maybe have a price of what it sold on ebay....which means that will not happen all the time. Sometimes they use a book to mark a price which when items are resold on ebay, and such they generally will sell for 1/2 of what the book is, and just different things like that. Then, once in a while I can get lucky, and find a sale where they are honestly cleaning out their house, and trying to rid of the extra to make room, or are moving, or something like that. I can really have fun with those looking, and filling my arms with all kinds of goodies found:)
Well, I was taking a quick break from dusting upstairs, and trying to figure some things out. Waiting on a plumber, and contractor....story of my life past few months. Someone at door, and I better scoot. Thanks for visiting with Thrift Store Junkies. Ya'll take care, and drop by again soon. See Ya!:)
Have a Puurfect Weekend you Thrift Store Junkies! Enjoy, and may it be an abundance of treasures found for you!
Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies for LilacsNDreams. So, how was your memorial weekend? Did you enjoy it all, and was it all you wanted it to be? Did anyone find any good sales with some wonderful treasures found.
I had been out on Friday of the weekend, and stopped with a couple of places. One yard sale, and a big rummage sale too. But, needless to say I did not find anything to catch my eye, and say buy me, buy me. It happens sometimes. But, it was a descent day out then, and I was able to get my fix of thrifting going into the weekend. Weather is much better today, and would be a great day to go digging. Might not be able to with schedules of things today. Where there is a will, there is a way, and hopefully I can squeeze in some thrifting time some where. Otherwise maybe tomorrow too. Whole day to myself, no running around, no chasing anyone around, and.......Hmmmm....see what it brings for me.
Hoping ya'll have a Wonderful Thrifting Weekend! Thanks for sharing your time with Thrift Store Junkies, and see you again soon. Take care, and Happy Thrifting!
Thrift Stores, Yard Sales, Flea Markets, and Junking too! Love this time of year, the weather is right to get out there, and to go treasure hunting! Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies page at LilacsNDreams. By the way, I have been known to curb hop for treasures, and once in a while have my feet hanging from a dumpster seeing something I have to have, or see possibilities with too.
I have not been out thrifting yet, and it has been bothering me too! I honestly don't have the room for it at this time. Heck, I have a bedroom I am trying to figure out where to put everything in it to make some room so I can get around it, and paint the walls in there.....Long story everyone. I just talked with a contractor, and hopefully I have come up with some kind of an idea to make some room to do this...crossing fingers.
Anyway, I will share a few pictures of one of my last times I was able to go thrifting. I did not find much...gotta be in the right mood to shop too, ya know:) I generally do find glass pieces I can use in some way in the home, or to reuse and repurpose with too. I do know there are one, or is it 2 pieces in these pictures that I have completed items with by repurposing them...what fun! I will have to dig for those after shots for ya to see:)
Holiday Weekend is about 1/2 where here. Any big plans anyone? Not me. Just hanging around the house, and finish up with some painting...if I can. Maybe I can find it in me to finish a few projects I had started too. Just lazy days here:)
Thanks for visiting with Thrift Store Junkies page at LilacsNDreams. Glad to have you drop by, and if you want, comments are always welcome too. Love hearing from everyone, and what they have to share as well!:) Take care, and see you again soon.
Welcome again to Thrift Store Junkies page for LilacsNDreams everyone! Glad to have you back, and happy to see you passing by too.
What a week it has been so far! I was gonna stop at a thrift store on the way home from appointments, but kept on going. I was tired...only about 3 hours of sleep last night. Not sure what the problem was, but I shall sleep good tonight. Thoughts and ideas hopefully will fill my dreams of some pieces I have sitting here that I want to repurpose with too.
I have been thinking, not sure yet, just throwing some ideas around with Me mind...LOL:) I was thinking of maybe changing the name of this page. Nothing serious, still use Thrift in it, but shorter, or something a bit more catchy, or.....Hmmm....just not sure yet. Thought has crossed my mind. Since I have had to do a new blog I guess some other changes would come with it to, right?:)
Not much of any other kind of news...I am itching to go thrifting, and digging for some things. That time of year, and cabin fever has set in. Time to get out there, and go hunting!:) Hey, if you would happen to have any ideas of another name for this page, if maybe I should change the name, or maybe think of some words I can play around with too. I am open to suggestions:)
Thanks for visiting Thrift Store Junkies page all. Take care, and see you again soon! Happy Thrifting!:)
