Next we arrived at the Goodwill. Disappointing! Large and well organized our only finds were two Pampered Chef Cookbooks, a crock pot cookbook from the 60's for the "pot-luck cooker", a much needed metal dog dish and a steel case money box that was missing it's divider. Total spend $5.50.
The next stop was a yard sale that was obivously being run by professional yard salers. The prices were ridiculous. But, I did manage to find an enamel flower brooch that I will use as a scrapping embellishment. Cost 50 cents.
Then we stumbled on two shabby roadside stands. The first was a complete waste of time.. but, as the 2nd I found antique glitter called Stardust Tinsels. Little test tubes filled with gorgeous antique glass glitter. I just knew the price would be sky high and had braced myself to be prepared to put it back on the shelf.. but, the
price of $1.00 left me lightheaded. Then the woman added to it with a package of vintage pink star sequins! Have you ever seen anything so wonderful?
Last, but not least, was our stop at an estate sale where I found not one, not two, but, three nice sized steel case file boxes. Once cleaned up and painted these will make for awesome stylish storage for my scrapping supplies. I also found a vintage stapler, boxes of old tiny plastic index labels with lots of alphabet letters, a pink kitty applique, sturdy seam ripper and sewing ruler. Grand total..$2.00 for the lot.
I think I will take Don thrifting with me more often. He must be lucky!
