Would You Buy It Wednesday

I found this footlocker/trunk last week at the thrift store. There was also a smaller version and I was going to buy both of them but when I went back to get them, another customer was walking out the door with it. (sad face) I'm glad she left the bigger one because it still had the leather carrying handles.

I'm not sure what I plan on doing with it, but right now it is holding Ryker's extra diapers. I paid $8 It has a slight musty odor even after I put it out in the sun for 3 days. Would you have bought it? What would you do with it? You can see it is quite large as it almost covers my entire coffee table.

Yesterday I went back to GW to see if I could find some more owls. On Monday I scored 11 of them. (I will post another blog later this week) I found an owl coffee cup, another McCoy cookie jar with lid and some kind of weird owl container.

When I first picked this up, I thought it was some kind of candle holder but it isn't big enough to put a tea light in it. Any ideas on what it is? I have it for sale in my store and any information would be helpful.

Like A Needle In A Haystack

On Friday, I found a McCoy pottery cookie jar shaped like a tea pot. I thought I saw somewhere that McCoy was a good seller, however, it was missing the lid.

I searched the boxes next to where I had found the jar. (It was sitting on the floor) No luck in finding the lid. The thrift store is huge and it was very unlikely that I would find it since I did not know which box the jar had come out of. I gave up, paid a dollar for the jar and went home.

I went back today and found a couple of things for resale.

Before I left I thought I would check out the lamps. You can never have too many, right? There was a box sitting on the floor and something caught my eye. I moved the other crap and there it was the lid to my cookie jar. I couldn't believe it.

I now have a complete cookie jar.
