Totally scored 2 skeins of yarn for 50 cents each and a 100% virgin wool skirt for $3 that I plan on repurposing into something useful, maybe a kids jacket or mittens? I also got a really cute vintage wall plaque of a little german boy and girl for a quarter today! It was a good day thrifting! Now I can't wait to make myself a new hat out of one of the skeins I found today!

A $120 Irish hand knit sweater for $6 (Looked it up on line). I don't think it was ever used. Oh and I always get compliments on the felted purse I got for $2. I love thrift shops!

I would LOVE to find a hand egg beater Ruthie Ann! Way to go! On Saturday I went back and scored a vintage but like new apple peeler, slicer, corer with the original box AND instructions! Made in the USA and had a Gimbel's tag on it!!! I got it for $1.50!!!! I am so excited because I needed one for processing apples in the fall and now I have my own and its vintage!!! <3
Plus I got some more yarn for 50 cents each :) I just love thrifting, its so much fun! I'm hoping to get some old sweaters to get some yarn to repurpose and some old sheets to make into baby wipes. Happy Thrifting!!!

A vintage chalk ware chicken bank. She's about the same size as a real hen and she has 2 chicks. It's so cute. I also got a vintage wall pink and black rooster wall pocket. I got the chicken bank for $20 - that my boss gave me on my day off for helping out when I stopped by.

Neat wrought iron candle sconces, distressed wood pillar candle holder, beautiful heavy amber glass relish dish, and set of 12 vintage amber Indiana Glass cubist tumblers,they absolutely sparkle with golden warmth. I was especially happy with the tumblers, same ones on Debbie Bosworth's (Beach Farmgirl) Blog "Festive and Frugal Thanksgiving". I was so impressed with her warm, cozy, frugal Thankgiving table setting. When I ran across the matching glassware at my local Goodwill it had to come home with me! I've been a little put out with the rising prices at my local thrift stores but I will say I got some good bargains today

Scored this beautiful copper and brass coffee pot. Came across a bunch of vintage sewing patterns that came home with me in a vintage Emelia Earhart train case ! The little girl's pinafores are so adorable. 
I don't know how to resize my pictures, hope I'm doing this right.

I found some great items yesterday at the Craft Warehouse and Goodwill- The red peppers, a whopping 28 cents, a Pier One item, ha! At G.W. I love the color of the peppers! $1.00 (90% off) for the Noel star and $4.00 for the gnome at the C.W., greenery at G.W., $3.00, Old Navy scarf, $1.00 G.W., 3 brand new Ikea jars, 99 cents each. GW. I may use them for ointments or salves, white pips, 99 cents, also G.W.
And some fun things for Chinese New Year, Feb. 10th, from a local Asian store- a prosperity and happy new year poster, gift envelopes for good luck and a little hanging tassle-
Come to my blog to see how I re-purposed some of these things :)
Be the change...

I found a small cast iron frying pan (was VERY excited about that, they're hard to find) for $3.99 and a Youth Bible I was looking at in the regular store got that for $4.99.

Found a candle stick lamp for 1.50. It had the orginial tag on it, marked $17. There is a huge rummage sale at the armory. I'm so going but with a list. I need to not impulse buy. I'm looking for gardening items, pillow cases, rubber stamps and buttons for crafting.
STYX the Band rocks!
Food for thought, no farm no food. |

Some of us glamping farmgirls went thrifting during our recent Backyard Glamper Party & Sleepover.
This is my daughter, Robin . . . aka "Birdie" . . with her #3.00 Samsonite suitcase find (it needs the lining replaced which I'm going to do for her) and her cute skirt. She just put it on over her jeans to see if it fit and just wore to the counter to pay for it. She jokingly asked if she could get a discount for modeling it . . .the folks in the thrift were great folks and just plain friendly . . .but I don't recall if she got a discount or not. Then she wore it to some other stops we made. A fun day!

I have a similar suitcase only it's bright orange and the lining needs to be reglued. It is certainly easy to spot at the baggage claims.

I haven't been on this thread for a while so I'm just getting caught up on all of the wonderful treasures you guys are finding.
Darn it, CJ!! I'm getting sick of all the cute baskets and suitcases you are finding, you lucky lady! You need to put a sign outside of your thrift store telling people their new donation drop off is at the St. Vinnies in Fort Atkinson, WI so I can score some of the awesome stuff you find! :) Love it!
Anita, I just love the suitcase filled with patterns! It's like a farmgirl treasure chest!
Heading to St. Vinnies today. We'll see if I can find any good deals like all of you! :)
