Thriftshare.....

Had a very long weekend

Classes

Organizing a wreck of a house

Out of town guest

Who I couldn't have gotten a thing done without

Missy Rocks!

A sick husband.

Of course...

I still found time to thrift!

Best score of the weekend

was a Roadmaster Tricycle

I don't have a photo because

it ended up at the sitters house

before I could photograph it

Cherry Red and Chrome

I couldn't believe it!

Found this sugar bowl and Spice bottle at a moving sale

and of course I picked up the bowl because it was my favorite green

Lovely box of velvet ribbons and trims in lots of colors

I was very drawn to this colorful bird embroidered towel

The saucer was just so lovely I had to have it

The lace on this tablecloth is so delicate

and has a sweet design

Cute doily

and very intricate design on this hand towel

I think of how much time it took for someone

who was doing this for fun or necessity

must have spent and how proud they probably were when they finished

We are so used to going to the store and just buying things

There was a time when people didn't have access

to major stores and did things like this

in order to have something nicer

and probably also enjoyed spending time with their craft

I couldn't resist the plastic baby - The Kitsch in me had to have it

The frame is metal and a bit rusty

both will be great for some mixed media projects

and the pin was so darling - again - couldn't leave it



My last find was this sort of medal
It was just in a box with some
paperclips and rubber bands
"Florida Power & Light Co."



The back however says U.S.A.F.

Sea Survival School

Turkey Point

Florida

I'm assuming which is United States Air Force

I haven't been able to look into the history

of this piece yet

If any of you have any insight

I'd love for you to share it with me.

So....

What did you find this weekend?
