I try to remember to do them, but sometimes I put everything away so quickly or only get a single item that I forget to get pictures first. However, since I scored big in those two weeks and was on vacation, I was able to take a little more time putting things away! ;) Glad I can at least share some of the experience with you!CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-29325633236846626782018-08-06T05:34:18.930-05:002018-08-06T05:34:18.930-05:00I've mentioned it before that we don't hav...I've mentioned it before that we don't have this kind of thrift stores in Bulgaria and that's why I love these posts :) I can't imagine the will power I would need if we had!bairozanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480725582668681075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-28158916011038036062018-08-05T09:24:09.753-05:002018-08-05T09:24:09.753-05:00Ann, Aren't those interesting?

Like I said in the video - they were the first thing I found at the sale and I'm not sure anyone else would have found them as interesting as I did. I really don't need anything else either, but have just been piling up the things I can use to make art of one kind or another.

We have them dotted all over. But, for the most part there's not much that I look for in them anymore. Sometimes I find winners. I tend to veer toward the antique malls lately. As for that estate sale - it was so crammed together and so many people sorting through it all and moving everything around, I had no way to control theCraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-71645282834658195882018-08-05T09:17:11.783-05:002018-08-05T09:17:11.783-05:00Really?

I may have to find another use for it as we don't do knick-knacks much. If it doesn't have a purpose, it doesn't have a place (for the most part). ;)CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-76938756613122454322018-08-05T08:32:32.872-05:002018-08-05T08:32:32.872-05:00Great finds!

But there is a thrift store within walking distance of work. It's so nice to sometimes take a break and come back with a nice tin or plate or whatever.

We have like two Goodwill stores that hike the prices up, the DAV thrift store that use to sell 10 pound bags of random jewelry for 20 bucks, but now its just Mardi Gras beads and I have a crap load of those and then the AmVets which is okay, but eh.

I really think that the Northeast/New England has a much better selection of old stuff because it was more populated and is actually older than down here. It's so hard to find some of the treasures I see online or on Flea Market Flip around here. Instead I end up coveting what I see. Ha! As for the mannequins. RIGHT!? I'm sure there's someone out there who either likes CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-42133387094918379412018-08-04T05:31:39.634-05:002018-08-04T05:31:39.634-05:00I love the old hardware you found.

Oh those were the old old days! Those mannequins truly are strange. I wonder if anyone will end up buying them. lolLorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.com
