Treasures and Trinkets Tuesday #4

Hello my friends,

boy am I ever excited to share my new found treasures

 with you today!

 

I have picked up some really fun trinkets for an upcoming craft project, but I'm going to save them for a later date.

 

Yesterday two of my friends, Joanne; whom I met a few years ago through Instagram and Kaylyn, whom we connected through Instagram as well;  and recently met at one of my estate sales went gallivanting.

 

We had such a fun day of junking and laughter!  We hit a total of 8 thrift stores and shared lunch and conversation with one another.

 

Nothing could have been better to take my mind off of my recent worries!

 

Oh my, I had a RED hot day of thrifting!

 

Let's just say that I brought home a lot of red.  What could be better than that for this red lovin sista?  :)

 

I shared this photo this morning on both IG and FB.

 

I already have 2 or 3 glasses with this design in my basement kitchen.  Of course, I jumped on 8 more for $.75 cents each.  I'm not sure if the ones I have are the same size or not.  I need to go see.  My friend Joanne found the darling squared pedestal and passed it on to me.  It was $4.99.  She also found a red tool box and offered it to me.  I have a couple and talked her into keeping it for a Christmas display.  The small cherry glass was too cute to pass up, even if I just use it for display.  It was $.75 cents as well.

 

 

I love children's sewing machines and have a collection of 4.  Didn't have a red one and I scored it for $10.  Woot, woot!!



 

I knew I would be mad later if I passed up this red rocker for $15.  I will probably sand it a bit more and call it good.  We walked into a thrift and I instantly fell in love with this red cream separator.  It was marked $70 and they had an ebay picture next to it showing it being listed for $129.  I wanted it so badly, but didn't want to dish out quite that much.  Between Joanne and I talking to the sales woman she had the manager come out and she came down to $50.

SOLD!  (wink)  It will be so fun holding ornaments at Christmas time, don't you think?

 

For someone who hates plastic (pretty much anything), I brought home two items.  The white doily and the table runner.  I just thought they had that 'fun' factor.  The doily had plastic holly berries on it, but I cut them off.  They'll probably show up

in a craft project.

 

The runner is long and will be fun on a table now and then.  Great for my front porch!

A couple of $2.00 wicker baskets will end up in my pantry.  They are wonderful for holding food items.  You know that I would not have looked at them twice if they hadn't had the checked liners.  lol!

 



The last two items will be great when I am recovering after my surgery on the 25th.  Looks like it's going to be more extensive than what we originally thought.

 





 

I found other treasures that didn't fall into the RED hot category so I am saving them for a future post.

Here's hoping that you can find some junk for your trunk!!

It makes me ever so happy!
hugs,
Jann
