The shelves have been sparse at my neighborhood Goodwill, and the price tags on items continue to be high. I am looking forward to spring, and the garage/rummage sales that warmer weather will bring. I did manage to snag a few items this week.
The candle holders are triangular shaped with upswept corners.
Stelton is known for their modern and simple linear lines.
Made with 18 gauge stainless steel.
They came in the original box and a store price tag of $4.99. Goodwill priced these beauties 99¢. Look at all of the tape they used to secure the box!
We will be celebrating Read Across America also know as Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2nd. So I was thrilled to see these yellow eyes and the green fur staring at me from a hook at the Goodwill.
This yellow clear vinyl backpack has never been used and still has its original tags.
This 1997 Grinch backpack will hold special treats for my grandsons first grade class to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday.
Good grief, what great finds, Paulette! Good for you! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the candle holders! We had a set them growing up. The Dr. Seuss backpack is adorable. It's prefect for toting goodies.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! My thrifts have been very bare too - waiting for garage sales!
ReplyDeleteHi, the candlesticks were a great find, what a design classic. I love Dr Seuss too I'm sure your grandson will love the bag.
ReplyDeleteThose candle holders are gorgeous! Thank you so much for linking up! :)
ReplyDelete99cents..what a bargin! Sounds like a fun time celebrating Dr Seuss!
ReplyDeleteTerrific scores! That Gimbels tag looks ancient--I wonder what $4.99 would equate to in this day and age?
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Dr. Seuss backpack! I wonder if they still make anything similar. I'd love to have the Sneetches on my backpack!
ReplyDeletethe outrage at our thrift store continues it is WILD the prices they are asking for junk thankfully the treasures are not known about....
ReplyDeleteYou are the queen of thrift finds. I found some two letters one written in 1907 and the other in 1910 and a 1944 scout diary (things my mother had collected). Did some more cleaning.
ReplyDeleteDr. Seuss is always so fun! Thanks for the Read Across America reminder. My daughter looks forward to it every year.

I love love the candlesticks....so classic. Dr Seuss`s bday...who knew?? (this little Australian didn't!) x
ReplyDeleteNice find on the candlesticks!
ReplyDeleteLots of guest readers from our office venturing into the schools this week to celebrate Read Across America. It's a fun time!
Oh, I am so happy you posted about Dr. Suess' b-day! My youngest was just asking me last weekend if green eggs and ham could be real and I told him we would have some on Dr. S. birthday! He's a favorite (and was for me as well). Somewhere packed away I have a print of Theodor Seuss Geisel's yearbook photo. He was definitely my dream guy! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat score on the backpack!
I love the Dr. Seuss backpack! So cute and brand new, score!
