Thrift Share

I started my thrift shopping on Thursday with an Estate sale. This one was run by a professional estate seller, and the prices reflected that. I did manage to find a unique item that was priced at one dollar.                                                                                          

I found the pink plastic birthday cake numbers and greetings in a small box

down in the basement. I guess you find the greeting that is appropriate 

and choose the correct number that corresponds with the event add candles and 

instant cake decoration.That would be as much decoration as I could handle. 

I can't wait to use these on a birthday cake.

On Friday I had lunch with some friends in a neighboring town. After lunch I decided to see what this towns GW Boutique (that is what I call the Goodwill stores)  had to offer.

These beauties were sitting in the $1.99 costume jewelry tray of the

GW Boutique. I looked for a makers mark and saw Bluette made in

France and decided to get these clip on earrings. When I got home, I

sat down to admire my purchases and noticed the raised sharp metal 

points sticking out on the back of the earrings. "I wonder what they are

for," I said to myself as I attached the earring to my left ear. It was a very

tight fit and not very comfortable on my ear lobe. I decided I better do

 a little research on Ebay and to my surprise these little beauties are, 

in fact, shoe clips!

As I looked at the earrings, that later I learned are shoe clips, a clerk walked over with a huge bowl filled with costume jewelry. My eyes got big as I stared at the bowl of costume jewelry, and the sweet clerk asked me if I wanted to look through the bowl. Yes please, this is what I found.

The bracelet has no markings, but for $1.99, I decided to take it home.

As I was admiring this purchase, I noticed that one of the clover on the 

four leaf clover was broken off, and it took me several minutes to realize 

what the white charm between the wishbone and the key was.

 I have come to the conclusion this must be a rabbits foot.

If I'm wrong, please let me know.
 I think I should stay away from the costume jewelry.

Since I was just down the road from a Value Village, I decided to take a quick peek. As I walked in the store, I was greeted with the announcement that all vintage clothing was 75% off. Of course, I headed to the three round racks that the vintage clothes were on. I found this outfit that I believe will fit my youngest daughter.  I can see her wearing this to work with some brown or black boots.

This 100% wool sleeveless dress by County Set made by Margit 

is lined and has deep red top stitching with brass buttons.

The cost of this timeless dress was only $2.50. I can't wait for

my daughter to try it on. Hope it fits her. 

Looking forward to see what everyone else found this week.
