Thrift Store Thursday

A couple of commenters asked about my purchases from my recent thrift store forays and I thought I would share some of my finds. (Please double click photos to enlarge if you like, thank you.)

I enjoy baking and was delighted to find this pretty latticed cake stand and Brand New, Still with the store Price Tag On, 3 gallon sized glazed bowl which is big enough to wash a cat. (Not that the cat would enjoy it or this is the recommended use, but you get the idea, very nicely sized. :oD)


Here are some other goodies I found including this striped Ralph Lauren shirt which fits perfectly and was purchased for $3. Also, I found some vintage bead pearls and jewelry to use in my sewing and jewelry crafts.


I am always so happy to find jewelry parts to make over into new things and was thrilled to find these NEVER REMOVED FROM THE PACKAGE Vintage Pearl Beads labeled from 1970!!!! At 50 cents each!! I don't think I am going to use these, it seems sacriligious to open the packages. I know, I know, it's kinda crazy, ah well, just the product of being raised in the Art and Antiques business where NRB (Never Removed from Box) is The Holy Grail. I also picked up a fun butterfly necklace and a couple pairs of earrings to embellish some tank tops.


This eagle pendant caught my eye, it looks like someone added precious gemstones to it. I have to get a new chain or ribbon for it and also take it to the jeweler to identify the stones. Regardless of the type of gemstones, it is a nice piece, especially for $3. (That's a popular price point at the local thrift stores.)


Thank You to Homebody Holly for hosting Thrift Store Thursday, a fun meme that I just discovered. Also, thank you for checking out my loot. Have you scored any bargains lately??
