50% Off Sale

The thrift store by my house has been running a 50% off sale. I went Monday and yesterday but didn't find much. Most of their Christmas stuff was gone and the stand I wanted was in someone's cart.

I normally don't pick up troll dolls but these were marked Dam and I read they are good sellers. I guess I shall see. These are from 1986 though.

I got this car hauler and bag of cars for ryker. Most of their toys were gone.

I got this picture for my kitchen. It fell off the wall last night but luckily it didn't break.

This New Jersey Devils jacket I'm selling on ebay. I have good luck selling the Starter jackets and I hope this sells quickly.

This desk I picked up on Friday with my sister for Robbie. It's from the Bassett company and is well made.

DIY Vintage Christmas Wreath

I really wanted a vintage Christmas wreath, except I couldn't afford to spend $100+ on Ebay or Etsy. I decided to make one myself. It cost less than $10 and came out ok.

I'm far from a DIY type of person so I was hesitant to make one but it was actually easier than I thought. All I needed was a wreath, some ornaments, lights, and hot glue.

I found a wreath at the thrift store that already had lights. I also found a Santa, some ornaments, and snowflakes.

The drummer, elf and the two wooden Santa's I already had. All I had to do was glue everything in place.

I didn't take into account where the plug was located. I should have glued the decorations so that the plug was on the bottom and not the top. The hot glue also melted some of the snowflakes.

It's hanging inside my kitchen door.

Thrift Scores

I found a few things at the thrift store that I am keeping. Friday, we went to a downsizing sale that seemed promising. We got there around 1:30 and there was a lot of stuff but nothing I liked. I did get A Christmas Story on vhs and Toy Story 2 which I already had.

We then went over to the thrift store that benefits veterans. I found this cabinet for Ryker's toys. It wasn't priced and after a few negotiations, I got it for a price I was happy with.

I love my George Foreman grill but hate cleaning it. I've been looking for one with the removable grill plates and today I found a brand new one. It didn't come with the box but it still had the plastic on it.

I also found a pink Pyrex casserole dish. I have never seen pink in the wild. It does look like someone put it into the dishwasher but for .99 c I can deal with it.

Bingo

Only found one thing today: a vintage Bingo game set. It has the metal cage with a wooden chute and wood balls. It also came with 49 cards and a jar of markers.

Goodwill Score

I found this desk yesterday at Goodwill for $9.99 I only found 2 items for resale: giraffe/elephant bookends and a bear security blanket.

Today, was 50% off at the thrift store by my house. I found a lot of stuffed animals for resale, a talking Dora, Baby Alive, a train set and a Lalaloopsy doll. I have most of this listed on EBay. I also bought a necklace for myself.

Thrift Finds

I haven't found anything spectacular while thrifting lately. I went to another estate sale on Friday because I wanted to buy a couch they had posted. It was still there when I showed up but turned out to be a sleeper sofa and those are way to heavy to haul. Plus the price wasn't in my budget. I did pick up a 45 rpm record holder.

I got this coffee table for Ryker's room. I figured he could use it for legos or his trains.

I also picked up this basket shelf. The cashier asked me what I was going to use it for and I told her hats and mittens. In warmer months, I'll store it in the closet.

Thrift Store Finds

Some things I found at the thrift store. This rocking chair was advertised at the estate sale I went to this past weekend but I did not see it. It ended up in the thrift store by my house.

I bought these birth record papers awhile back. I found 4. I have four boys so it worked out well. However, I was only able to find two frames.

I got this clock the day before I got the one from the estate sale. My starburst clock stopped working so this is the replacement.

I was checking out and my sister said look The Last Supper. It was on the wall behind the register so I asked the cashier if it was for sale. It was and only cost me $5

I also picked up a pair of brand new slippers, a new Sonicare toothbrush with charger, some security blankets and Venelope from Wreck It Ralph.
