Thrifty Thursday

I've been out at the thrift stores and yard sales again. It is a good day when your Hubby says "Go shopping and bring home some junk!" Besides the fun of the hunt, I am really enjoying the research involved when I find something new. I am also beginning to love some things that I would have said were not my style. Take that big pink beauty- Abingdon vase- for example. I love it! This is the 3rd piece I have found. One I am keeping, one sold on ebay and this one that I hope is meant for me to keep. I got the pieces at 3 different sales - spent $5.50- for all 3. They are all vintage and timeless.

I found this piece of Miramar of California piece yesterday for pennies.

And this hyalyn vase from 1963 today..... It was made in North Carolina. I paid a little more for this because it reminded me of my new dining room paint.

Now for a find that is a blast from the past for sure. A Fire King divided bowl with a candle warmer. Not at all my style...no...but yet I was fascinated with it and I realize I am beginning to become fond of retro space age stuff.... what next?

Italian filigree frames...or maybe those sweet little children's faces...

Finally something I am comfortable with- worn and shabby- vintage- with stories it could tell! But this too will head to ebay this week because I already have a couple in my laundry room-

I'm linking up with Thrifty Thursday with Leigh - I'll just call that more "research"!!
