Hello, and Welcome to Thrift Store Finds with LilacsNDreams!:) Glad to have you here, and that you were able to stop on by.
As I have already mentioned, I have done a little bit of thrifting, but have not been finding a whole lot lately. Weather, seasons changing, and just the mood of shopping lately I have not found much. Soooo, instead of being down about that I spent most of last week...when it was nicer out with sun and temperatures.....in the garage doing some spray painting with items I did find thrifting, and are going to reuse, repurpose, upcycle them, and etc.
During the painting I did find just a few pieces. I found a Ball Jar with that worn tarnished lid:) In the jar there were red colored wooden beads....Hmmm....got some ideas as soon as I seen this. I LOVE Ball jars, but with the holidays the wooden beads will come in handy too. Along with this find I did get a white picture frame with a lilac colored flower in 2 of the corners. Great condition, and had to have it! I found one just like this about 2? years ago, and it is sitting on an end table in the living room with a wedding picture of Me with my Grandmother. Picture was done outside....where we were married, and fits good with the frame. So, this is another identical frame I can put another precious picture with:) I also found a soft pink pearl necklace with 1 pearl earring. Yeah, it was missing 1 earring, but got it anyway. I can find something to do with this yummy pink, couldn't you? Lastly, I got this other item that reminds me of a keyring. I got it because of the glitter stone in the center of it, and of course around the outer circular part of it too. Looks green, looks blue...I like it:)
Well folks, sorry, but this is all I got from a quick stop by the thrift store the other day. Thought I would share with you, and see how ya'll were doing yourselves:) In about 2 1/2 weeks I will be spending time on a "Girls Weekend" with a dear friend of mine who is across state, her mother, a friend of hers, and we are going to meet 1/2 way in the middle of the state. Checking out some flea markets to attend while we are there for the weekend, and any thrift stores, and being in the city like that....many possibilities. Am excited, and hope I can find some goodies I don't see much of around here:)
Thanks for visiting everyone, and know you are always welcome to visit. You are welcome to share anything that you would like too. Take care, and have a super week everyone!:)
