My Thrifting Finds Of The Day - 12/30/13

Hello everyone,  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and found lots of thrifty vintage goodies!  I was all over the place Saturday, and was able to hit a number of thrift stores, an Estate Sale, and an Antique store.  So here we go with my finds from Saturday.  First off, I found these awesomely (not sure if that is a word, but it is now :) cute vintage bird glasses.  They are the softest pink color, and the birdies and cages are gold.  I instantly fell in love with them!  Not that I "need" another set of glasses, but the fact that they were 1. pink, and 2. had birds on them, sealed the deal.

Then I found a vintage silverware divided tray, which will come in handy when it is put to use on my Hoosier cabinet.  I can stick all kinds of vintage goodies in it.  I love the color of green it is, and also the Art Deco-ish design on it.

I was digging around in some boxes of miscellaneous stuff at the Estate sale, and almost missed this handsome Rooster.  I dug around a little more and spied the tip of his head, and uncovered him.  I was very pleased to add another Rooster to the Chicken/Rooster collection.  The Rooster was happy too  :)

Along the way I had to stop in my local hardware store (which by the way is always overpriced) but I had to get something for the house.  I spotted a clearance aisle which had what was left of the Christmas decorations, and of course I had to take a look.  They must have just marked it all down, because I found 3 boxes of the Radko Shiny Brite flocked ornaments that were marked down to $2.99 a box!!!  They were originally marked at $24.99 a box.  I bought all 3 boxes - even though they are not true vintage, I still love them.  How could I pass them up?

Here's a close up of them - aren't they beautiful!

At the thrift store I found a vintage barkcloth panel (sorry for the crummy picture, the colors are more vibrant in person), and a sweet yellow gingham curtain valance that will look cute over my kitchen sink window.  It will need a good soak in OxiClean to brighten it up first.

Next I found an adorable pair of festive Salt & Peppers, but I honestly do not know what they are supposed to be?  Do YOU know???  I want to say it looks like they are covered in holly leaves or something like that.  Help!  Anyway, I thought they were too cute to pass up, whatever they are....

I found a pretty vintage beaded multi-strand necklace and cluster earring set.  The beads almost look like candy, they have a sugar coating look to them.  Yummy!   LOL

And last is a shabby, flowery little dish in the shape of a teapot - probably to hold rings on a dresser or vanity I would guess.  Ooops! - I was wrong - it is a teabag holder I have been informed (thanks Diane and Dawn!  :)

Well, that's all for today!  I hope you enjoyed looking at my little haul of vintage goodies.  I am going out tomorrow to check out some more thrift stores, hopefully they will be open on New Year's Eve.  Gotta get one more shopping trip in before the New Year!

*** And since the year is almost over, I will ask you - what was your very FAVORITE thrifted,  yard sale'd, or estate sale'd item that you found this year??  

Wishing you the best for thrifting in the New Year!
