Caller ID

I was looking back over my call log on my house phone. I don't remember this happening. And I'm sure that lots of people are named this, but maybe it was an enterprising telemarketing company.


I think it would be a good strategy.

Brad Pitt is calling....who are you to take that chance?

Summer Clothes!

But not for me!

I may have lost some weight, but I will never lose that much! I think my bones would be too broad to fit into this!

But it is spectacular isn't it? Vintage with tags...


Someone bought this with the intention of wearing it. I wonder if it was supposed to be fancy and she never had an occasion, or if she just wasn't brave enough to wear it out.


I am definitely selling this, I hope someone gets a lot of fun out of this!

After the holidays


Sorry about the photo, it does say Egg Nog. It's really hard to take a photo of glassware.


I love the flower on the inside. I don't know what it is, but I like it all the same. 

It is a shame this wasn't out before Christmas, but as much as I really love the bowl, I hate egg nog.

I have tried all kinds of recipes. I have even tried the Silk Soy vegan version. 

yuk.

I love all the ingredients. It smells divine. Why don't I like it? 

I can always use it for mulled wine or cider next year. Carnival glass is always pretty, no matter what is in it.

Sa-weet glassware!


These are shot glasses. I am still trying to decide what I should drink out of them. Because with cut glass detailing like that, whatever it is, should be epic!

But will probably end up being orange juice.

It is flu season.


These are so cool! I am probably going to be selling these. I would love to have them for when my parents come over for dinner. They just don't come over often, they prefer restaurants  and I do not have the storage room to keep them. *Sigh


And I am starting a small collection of oil and vinegar cruets. 

And I couldn't leave behind the candle holders or salt shakers. Never can. But I do like the shape of the salt shakers. The little finial on top of them is really cute.

Mason Jar Heaven


Aren't they glorious?!


Except this thrift has been going though a price increase and has some young employees who have too much time on their hands and spend lots of time online.....

So these were around 8-15 dollars each.

I know they are a charity shop, but that is just too much.

Awww.....


I started to make some jewelry out of polymer clay a few months ago. One of my ideas was for a line of skulls, but I wasn't sure it would turn out well. I made my molds and went to town. When they started to turn out really nicely, I knew there was one person that I knew would like it and get good use out of it.

I thought of Wrey.

She's a really sweet blogger out of the Philippines who loves skulls. You should check her out, she always cheers me up. :)

Thank you for your kind words Wrey!

Didn't buy....

I am trying to thrift better! I know that that maybe should mean stop going? Buuuuuut that is not happening. So I guess I take pictures and you can all tell me I was an idiot for leaving bit behind.


First up is this cute planter. I have no idea what she is really supposed to be. I am thinking I should always pick up stuff with faces....at least ceramics. But the weird grapes print thing had me leave her behind.


And then we have this small wall plaque. He's kinda malformed and the toes are just odd... Over detailed toes and absolutely no hands had him staying on the shelf, but the sentiment is timeless!

How has your thrifting been going this year?
