Wednesday Thrift Store Finds at LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies


Wednesday Thrift Store Finds for LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies Blog. 

Welcome, and glad to have you stopping by! Yesterday, Wednesday, I headed down the road to the small Thrift Store in the next town. I have a tier plate project working with, and the glass piece I wanted to use in the center made it too tall. So, I was in search of another glass piece, or something that could be used. While visiting I found a few small minor things there. I got the black organizer you see with the handle. That piece is not really light weight. And...the products you see with in the round cup organizers, and the magazine sides were not bought with this. I have put it to use holding some of my craft things I work with on projects. 

I then found a shaker set that matches very well with the colored background, and the speckled look to the plates I will be repurposing for the tier plate stand I am making. Found some adorable brown ceramic cups with white interior. In front is a soft mint green ceramic cup that had a candle in it that I removed. It now sits on a shelf with a single pink flower in it. So small, and cute, and was just the right little touch for my shelf in our entry way:)

When you can, stop by my Second Time Treasures page which you will see the tab at the top of this page for that page. On that page you will get a glimpse of some of the completed projects as I complete them before listing them for sale in my Artfire Store. Hoping to complete a few more projects before listing any of my repurposed items, or some of the vintage pieces I have found too.

Thanks for visiting LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies page, and I look forward to seeing you again. Remember, you are welcome to share, comment, and leave messages with all of us here too. Take care, and Happy Thrifting everyone!:)

LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies Blog Page



Thrift Store Finds by LilacsNDreams for Thrift Store Junkies. Hello everyone, and welcome to my LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies Page! Glad to have you stopping by. Today you will see some pictures for things I had gotten on Friday when Thrifting at the Missions Store. I dropped off 2 bags of clothes for donations there, and then I walked through the store. I walked out with a box full of  
 glassware, candle holders, plates, glass canisters, glass cloches, some doilies, and a blue american greetings candle holder. As you can see couple of things did not get into the pictures. I apologize that some of the pictures might look like repeats. I was trying to get everything, show a little bit closer with some of them, and etc. With all of these pieces they have been washed, cleaned, dried. Now, tomorrow Monday I intend to work on pieces by sanding a bit, gluing, and hopefully painting too. Those are my intentions with some of the pieces, and if not all tomorrow, there is always Tuesday. 
So, enjoy
 the before pictures. As things get done pictures for the results will be shown on my Second Time Treasures Page for ya'll to view:) 


Again, thanks so much for visiting, and hope you enjoyed all the pictures. Remember, always good to hear comments from everyone, and you are welcome to share here too. Take care till the next time everyone. Later........ Lilacs

Good Morning From LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies

SMILE:) Good Morning Thrift Store Junkie Friends! Hope all are having a super week so far! Don't know about you, but has been very hot, and humid here. Almost misery to get out, and do anything. It is still hot, but the humidity is coming down, and it is time to get out and do some digging for me. What about you? Have you had a chance to do any digging, thrifting, hunting of any sort? Wonderful time of year for yard sales, flea markets, thrifting, and so on. Specially if you happen to be traveling. Always great to stop some where else in a new location, and see how things are over yonder, right?:)

Not much happening here. I need to take some pictures to show a few things I have found...mostly glassware. I seem to find those easily, and pieces no one wants that I can repurpose with. Had a clean table, but slowly starting working with something tonight that I have an idea with. Will see what happens yet.....just not sure about it yet:)

Wishing everyone a super Thursday, and Happy Thrifting to all! Enjoy your time:)

Good Morning Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies blog! Glad to have you here, and hope all are doing well. 

Here it is another weekend, and where is the time going for us all? Today is going to be really hot, and humid, and not really in the mood for roaming around too much. I do have a friend who is going to the farmer's market to see all the crafts people are making, and offering. She is not sure if she will get any junking, or thrifting in today, but if I know her....she will try to do some if she can:)

I seen a couple of garage sales when out of town Friday, but they did not really look promising. So, I did not stop. Darn! By myself, and in the mood to do some thrifting, and looking. Oh well, maybe this next week it will happen as I will be that way again mid week, to end of week. Gotta be in the right mood to go looking too:)

Hope this finds everyone doing well, and staying cool with the heat wave we are getting here. It's gonna be a wonderful weekend, and I hope everyone is able to get some thrifting, and junking done too! Take care everyone, and stop again. Always welcome to visit, leave a comment, and share with us too:)

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies

Hello, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies! So happy to see you visit, drop by, and do hope you enjoy what I have started. 

I apologize for any inconvenience this process has been, but I have been working on my blog, making changes, and of course adding these extra pages for others to visit with interest. I am hoping to simplify things a bit for everyone, and try to spread some of it out onto other pages as I have been doing. I had all My Blog Pages to Visit on the right side bar, which I had also notified others about. As of today, trying to keep clutter away from the side bar, I have added my pages to the top with the tabs you are seeing. 

I am rather enjoying this more than my website I have been working on too. With my blog I can have all these pages I am working on. Also, I like to leave things open a bit that everyone is welcome to comment, share with us, and so on. That I am able to do with the blog pages I am setting up as well.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience to everyone during this process of adding, removing, rearranging, and organizing. Thank you for understanding, and being patient with me. Thanks for visiting LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies page! Take care everyone, and happy junking!:)

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies Blog Page

Good Morning, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies Blog Page! Happy to see you here, and glad you stopped to visit. I have been adding a note to all of my blog pages about on the right hand side of the page. There you will find My Blog Pages to Visit. They are clickable, and these are pages I have made for my blog as well too. Due to circumstances of what blogger offers with their 10 pages, they are static pages, I could only do 1 post, and I wanted to share more than that. I wanted to be able to allow everyone to comment, and share with each listing as well too. So, like many other bloggers I set out to find a way to make more pages that work for me, and is easy for everyone to navigate too. 

Whew! That was a lot that came out all at once! LOL:) So, when you get a chance, visit the pages I have made so far. I hope this is a little easier for everyone. I hate shoving everything all into one page all the time. It gets to lengthy, can become boring, and hopefully this way will help all of us a bit too.

Well, time for me to get to bed, and get a little bit of sleep. I shall be back checking on things later. Hope everyone enjoys their visit, and enjoys the pages I have made for my blog so far. Take care my blogging friends, and hope to see you again.

Avon Rapture Beauty Dust Dresser Vanity Jar


Avon Rapture Beauty Dust Dresser Vanity Jar has sold today in my store at Artfire! Woo Hoo! This was a nifty little thrift find I had found. No powder in it, but it does still have the powder puff in it, and it is all in lovely yummy vintage condition too! Sad to see it go, but happy it does have a new home that it will adorn too:) Gotta love some of the little things too, right?:) 

Thanks for visiting with me on my Thrift Store Junkies blog page. Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and Happy Thrifting and Treasure Hunting!:)

Thrift Store Junkies Blog Page for LilacsNDreams

Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies Blog Page for LilacsNDreams!

Hope ya'll had a good weekend, and were able to get some things done, and really enjoyed your time. So, how was it? Did anyone get a chance to go thrifting, yard sales, any digging, and so on? Am anxious to hear. I had plans for the weekend, and what I was wanting to do. Of course, why plan anything when daughter always calls at last minute for you to babysit. Rather, her and hubby need a weekend away, could we watch baby girl. Hmm...must be nice to get away, and rely on parents to do things for you to make it happen, huh? 

Sorry, just being a bit sarcastic, and still not happy about it as it has been ongoing all week with them, babysitting, having car troubles so running them here and there, her hubby taking off for day after work when tire was needed for her car, then....hubby out of town having issues with tires cut on his truck, and we come get him, and so on, and so on. Nothing like a soap opera, right?

So, there was my weekend gone, not able to go to the holiday flea market they have at the lakes...I sooo wanted to go digging at that! Things happen for a reason they say....hope there was a good one for it this time:) I do hope all enjoyed their weekend, and was able to get some thrifting of sorts done. Thanks for visiting here, and always Welcome back. 

Till the next time. . . .Happy Thrifting!:)
