I love thrift stores...especially little hole in the wall ones that could charge a lot more, but don't. Of COURSE, I like that...!
Here's my latest haul...not pictured are the 3 Hot Wheels cars I bought which actually made up for half of the $5.50 total I spent. Funny how 3 little junky made in China toys are more valuable than vintage linens, plates and a silver played serving set in the original box?!
Usually, I pass up all kinds of state plates...but not one from New Mexico! The vintage mustard striped dinner napkins are very nice quality, and appear unused. There's a vintage Christmas nativity ornament on them from 1977 which may be difficult to see. The silver played serving set is Wm. A Rogers and is in the original box. The striped kitchen towel is worn but still nicer than the ones I buy at Target! The stained, tatted heart I will use in an art project...possibly an art journal with all the memorabilia I've saved from dating, our wedding, honeymoon and St. Valentines days. And last but not least, a vintage tea pot made of lucite with funky bits embedded in it. Such treasures at $5.50...less than a burrito at Chipotle. :)
What I DID pass up was a crate full of original Erector Set pieces from the 1930's with the original instructions and everything. $100! I hope they get that for it!
