It's Friday, and Weekend Here We Come!
Wow! Where does the time go to, right? It's too cold out to do much of any kind of junking really. Mostly thrift stores right now, and even then their inventory kind of slows down. Sometimes it starts to all look alike too. Waiting more for spring when things are fresh again, and the pickings are great!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and the new year has started off well for you. Christmas this year will be one I will not forget, and the new year started off with a bang as well. Very long story that involves my Dad, hospitals, his health, and now into hospice care.
Well everyone I wish you all well, have a beautiful weekend, keep on thrifting, and hope to see ya'll again real soon. If you would like to follow me more, or keep up with me a bit more make sure to click those tabs at the top there. That Home one will take you to the main page, and you can take it from there as well.
Thanks for sharing your time with Thrift Store Junkies, and hope to see ya'll again soon. Till the next time my thrifting friend....Toodles!
Happy Veterans Day to All Who Served, and Are Serving!
Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies everyone! I have a little bit of time this weekend, and thought I would stop by here to say Happy Veterans Day to everyone. This is a day to remember those who served, and are still serving for our country, for our freedoms. If you happen to see a Veteran make sure to say Hi to them, and telling them Thank You would mean sooo much too! Seeing their face after this would be so satisfying.
Hope ya'll have had a wonderful thrifting day. Thanks for visiting with Thrift Store Junkies, and . . . .
HAPPY VETERANS DAY!!
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!:)
Thrift Store Junkies Finds From Last Week
Hello Thrifters, and glad to have you visiting Thrift Store Junkies page. Sorry sorry sorry....I have been a bit behind with some of my blog pages, and I apologize for that. Ever since the computer did it's thing couple weeks ago I am still catching up on some things. For items I offer for sale I have had to pull things back out, and do pictures all over again. I thought I was ahead by doing some of the pictures, putting them into the files for the shops I wanted to list with, and then boom! Just like that they have gone off to another place I cannot find them/get to them:(
Anyway, I have been itching really bad to get some thrifting done. I have been a very very good girl not doing any thrifting, or hardly any of it to speak of. I figured I don't have the room, still got a lil bit of painting to finish, I need more room to craft with, and.....since I have to pack eventually I figured it was all good that I try to hold off. Well....the thrifting fever with the weather, and all has hit me. I stopped at one place called the Missions place my bestest friend introduced me to. I found some little glass pieces to add with things I have at home, and hopefully finish off those being waited to complete. I walked out with 2 envelope boxes, and 2 bags full as you can see. I spent what...$10? for all of it, and have been happy with what I can do with them now too. It is hard to see, but off to the right side I did find a kenneth cole leather planner that is in a like new condition for $1, and that wooden piece you see that resembles a shutter...is actually a wooden vent. Very good condition, and I see possibilities...how about you?:)
Hope all are ready for the weekend, and this coming Holiday of celebrations. I wish you all well, be safe, enjoy, and have some fun!! Thanks for visiting Thrift Store Junkies, and see you all again soon!:)
Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies all Collectors, Junkers, Thrifters, and Hunters of Treasures!
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and was able to do some thrifting too. I wish I could have - long story, but I had some computer issues, and would not let it go till I got something worked out I could handle, or live with.
Before I forget I would like to mention about a little social group I found that is slowly growing, I have joined with under the name of LilacsNDreams of course, and has a neat idea they are working with too. Vintage Rising - Giving Pieces of the Past a Brand New Life. This group started out with other sellers, and collectors showing some of their vintage pieces that they repurpose, and upcycle. There are those there who offer some vintage supplies too. Since they started they have added in another category that I find quite fun, and enjoyable which is called Thrift Store Alley. How neat is that? With this category you can show your finds of Thrift Stores whether they be used, or almost new too. Fabulous idea, and concept that is growing, and for others to go to.
Remember, it is still young, but I have been slowly watching it grow. I think you should stop by to give it a look, and better yet join up to participate with them too. Share a little bit, learn a little bit, make some new friends, and have some fun too.
Thanks for sharing you time with Thrift Store Junkies today, and hope to see you visiting again soon. Take care, have fun, and Happy Thrifting Everyone!
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.
Hello, and Welcome back to Thrift Store Junkies! Here it is Sunday, and I am wondering...how was the weekend for you? Any good finds? Were you able to get to any thrift stores this weekend, or maybe even some garage sales too. Weather has been getting great here, and of course graduations all weekend long too! Busy, busy, busy.
Next weekend is Memorial Weekend. Now, any plans for that weekend? I was wondering since it's a holiday if there were any good Flea Markets happening in your neck of the woods? I have to check before I say anything, but not real sure for around here. Would be a good weekend to do some digging, and getting around to a few places, don't you think? For those that travel even more fun!
Not too much happening here this weekend for me. Just family, and working on some more painting upstairs. If I keep going I might just get it done this week yet...wouldn't that be nice:) I have to figure out what to do with everything in the one bedroom...where to put it...so I can make the room to get in there, and paint. Whew! That one might be a chore.
Well, hope ya'll had a great weekend. Thanks so much for visiting with Thrift Store Junkies at LilacsNDreams. See ya'll 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!:)
Hello, and once again Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies new page with LilacsNDreams! First of all, I would like to again apologize for any inconvenience this has been for anyone who has been following with me. I feel really bad about this, and have spent all day working on getting my blog back up, and running. Unfortunately, everything prior to this has been lost. I have tried contacting with Google to fix this issue, but there is just no straight forward way of doing that. You have to leave questions out in the open, and hope that someone comes along to answer. I would like to have them review this issue of what happened, and reinstate my previous blogs as I have had those for a lil over 3 years, and really did work with them.
Anyway, so far it does not look promising with that. So, instead of sitting around and waiting for an answer, or having my questions answered I have gone back into blogland, and am starting everything all over again. I know a little bit more this time, have seen things along the way, and hopefully it can help me get my standing back up quicker than what I did before. If you see some of my posts being repeated....again I am sorry. I will be going back through notes, and having to do some things again.
Thanks for visiting with Thrift Store Junkies today. Make sure to stop by the home page of LilacsNDreams...that is how all of this has started with blogging. See you again soon. Take Care.
