Tuesday’s Treasures

I was out and about this weekend visiting family etc and went past one of our great thrift shops.

I had to go in.

I had purchased my yearly bunch of fall flowers from Trader Joes and had NOTHING to put them in! I only buy the cheep bunches from Trader Joes one I’m cheep, two they last forever, three I love flowers I just don’t see spending so much for them to die in a week or less, four the ones at TJ’s are just amazing!

I looked around the store. Start in front OH LOOK Christmas is 50% off!

There was NOTHING CLOSE TO GOOD! (sigh)

On down to the housewares. Well there were a few pieces, hum, some frames, nothing here.

NEXT ISLE

All the vases in the world!

You know the ones you get with flowers sent to you but you really don’t have room oh lets get rid of it ones!

Well I found a great one PERFECT SIZE for my flowers and $.50!

SCORE!

Then I looked. Oh candle holders. I have been looking for 2 years for a 5 candle Advent Wreath. They only have 4. The boxes of candles only have the 3 purple and the pink. OK I can get a white one no worries. But am I the only one who thinks it’s odd they don’t add in the Jesus candle to a wreath that leads up to the day of his birth? Anyway

I found some really great ones. And they were CHEEP!

The sliver one is Onida and matches the flatware pattern my mom had when she got married! $1! The glass one is iridescent and was a whopping $.25! The large glass one is a vintage one that is hard to find and I paid $5 for one last year that I made into a cakeplate. $2!!!! One of the first 2 will hold my Jesus candle when I set up my wreath this weekend!

AND

There was this super cute milkglass dish! $1! I needed more (hehe) to put on my desk (lol) for catching all those little things I needed to throw in.

What a great day. They made $5 and I have new treasures!

ps please ignore the pink and white Christmas balls in the apothecary jars. Christmas is sneaking in everywhere! hehe
