New Thrift Finds

Last week was a very good week for thrifting. :) See below:

I have always wanted one of these Hula lamps and today it was on the back table being priced and I saw it as I was checking out. I asked the owner if it was for sale and he said "Yes, I just brought it in this morning, because I have been working on it to get it dancing again, and now it works. I know these are expensive and I was kind of scared to know how much he wanted for it....$9.95! Can you believe that? Sold! I want to find like a burlap shade and put some fringe on the bottom of it. This is a keeper.

I also found this print. It reminds me of being in a house in the 60's. I looked it up on eBay and it has a sister that goes with it. This one is called "Summer Symphony".

I had never seen one of these before and the cashier told me it was an antique dress measuring ruler. 1/2 off...$3.00. Pretty cool.

These baby Christening dresses I could not leave behind. They were $3.00 each. One of them has the nicest lace all on the front on it.

I also picked up these cute little vintage pictures with Hull vases in them. 1/2 off sale that day....$3.00 for both.

I don't know what is wrong with Blogger, but I am having trouble typing between pictures. I also found another typewriter. $5.00. It sold the first week in my booth at "The Curiousty Shoppe".  I am still looking for my PINK typewriter. That one will be a keeper.

I will be linking up with the link parties on the right side of my blog. Hope you all are having great finds too! Thank you for the comments. I greatly appreciate them. :)

Some Updates....

Can you believe it is June 1st?!?  I have been spending some time getting my booth at "The Curiosity Shop" together. Here are some pics.

Knock on wood....I have done pretty good. This is my second fill up.  I only buy items that I like and then I won't be out the money if they don't sell.   This is more of a hobby than a money maker for me. It does help support the thrifting bug though for the items I keep. :)

and a little crafting  with my gardening going on...found this wire framed planter for $15.00 at a used furniture store and I saw a vision for it.....

I added a few plates that I picked up for $4.00 for a  total cost of project $19.00. I love how it came out.

Here are a few extra garden pictures that I took this morning. Everything is just now starting to bloom. Late Spring for us here in Florida.

Well that is all for now on this beautiful day....June 1st.  I have to take my daughter to some appointments today over in St.Petersburg and fortunately, one of them is on "THRIFTING ALLEY"! There must be 8 shops in the area. So....even though she waits in the car while I go in with her deep SIGH...I will hit a few. Do you get the SIGH from your peeps?

I will be linking up with some of the link parties over to the right on my blog. Have a happy week! :)
