one of the only good things about living in this apartment building has been the stream of things people sit out to be tossed. I have rescued a wooden rocker, christmas decorations, books including some I put away for my daughter who is in college to be a teacher, toys I pass on to friends with little ones, a Kenmore sewing machine in the cabinet with all the attachments !! This one i gave to a friend who needed a machine and of course my wonderful little 1950 kitchen table that I just love. My wonderful hubby never says anything, he just carts the stuff upstairs for me. love u honey |

I hate to see good stuff tossed too. I love glass kitchen items. Not that I need them! I don't use plastics at all and every glass item calls my name. Lol! A few weeks ago I found a small white crib with a spring and mattress. It's the size of a bassinet and is from the 30's-40's. I paid $8 and I will use it to display vintage linens or my ferns. Haven't decided yet. Also got the top of an old bassinet, the basket part, for $2 and i'm using it for my yarn and crochetting projects by my chair. I love a good bargin. I also found a lady who was moving to Fl. and I bought a large light up pumpkin, snowman and 2 candles for $8. You wouldn't get 1 for that price. Of course my husband always says,"What are you going to do with that junk?" I win and get it anyway and then when I display it he likes it. Now I want to go somewhere today! Lol! Our salvation army has gotten very expensive and they put the things out filthy. I won't even touch that stuff. Grosses me out!
Blessings and Peace,

it's been a bit since I have found a good find at the thrift. I have been scouting out the yard sales. When it gets cooler, I usually head indoors to the thrifts. :) Glad you are finding such goodies. It always makes me feel better when I feel like I've found a good deal and can reuse things that need a new home

I went to a few today also. But I can't believe some are closed on Sat. I found some more Fall decorations. I'm glad you found some goodies.
