Happy Thrifting and Junking Everyone
Happy Thrifting and Junking Everyone, and Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies Page. Always happy to see you, and have you drop by. Sorry, I have not quite completed my list of goals for the beginning of the year. My main issue was to find a schedule that works for me to do my blogging with, research topics for my main blog page, and get a schedule going that I can accomplish these things in a timely fashion. I know with spring, and summer time it is a bit harder to keep with it due to we have to go Thrifting!! But, I already have a solution to that, and it is in the workings:)
We haven't really had snow here, way different winter, and I am not complaining. Generally during the winter is when I myself slow down on thrifting a little bit because of the weather. This year the reason has been due to house remodeling being done....never know when contractors will be here to work. And, another reason for me has been to remove some of my inventory, and if not removing pieces trying to repurpose some of them into something useful for the homes that I can offer to you.
Right now I have dried glue on my finger tips. Trying to glue some lace to some of these adorable little saucer plates. Such a yummy blue, and pink, and I happen to have a blue lace that blends really well with the blue in the rim of these saucers. Just takes time as you have to hold the lace in place for a bit for it to actually take, or want to stick and hold. I was happy to find some lace with my inventory....since everything is everywhere in the house with making room for work being done. Now, if I could only find them darling little blue tied ribbons I know I have I would really be set. Hmmm...have some ideas, and will have to get to the containers to open them, and investigate.
I have a black cloche stand I have been working on. The mod podge sealer got kind of heavy on it, and make a few bubbles that I am not happy with. So, in order to cover some of that a bit, but still make the stand look good I have been working with some music paper, and then found a white ribbon I think will work with it too. I also have a white base glass cloche that is drying with some music paper in the center of it, and this afternoon will spray a light coat of mod podge sealer on it, and I think call that one done too. I am getting anxious for some of these pieces to be completed, and to get them listed for others to see, and purchase too. I will show some pics when I get to this point for ya'll.
Well, I suppose, I have taken a long enough break, and I can peel the glue from my finger tips now...LOL:). So, that means back to work on things. Hope ya'll are having a sweet day, and a Happy Hump Day to all! Thanks for visiting with Thrift Store Junkies Page. Take care, and see ya'll again soon. Toodles.....

Welcome Thrift Store Junkies Crafters Handmades Repurposed Upcycled Creators
Well, winter time, and things are usually a bit slower. The weather has been great here, love it, different kind of winter, and it sure would have been super to get out and do some thrifting too. But, my problem is there is no where to put anything right now. We still have contractors, and a plumber coming in and out of the house, doesn't help to clean because everything gets dusty, I have most of my craft stuff in boxes and containers piled in the dining room, boxes in our bedroom, different pieces of glass and plates sitting on a coffee table covered to help protect from some of this dust here, and so on. They have moved location on what they are working on upstairs, so we had to make room for them.
I do hope everyone has been able to get out, and do some thrifting yourselves. Can never do enough of it, and I sooo miss treasure hunting right now, and digging for things too. Soon the weather will be even warmer, spring, and I can really kick my feet to go looking. Can't wait.
I do thank you for visiting this page with me. Make sure to say Hi so I know you were here, and I can come visit with you too. When you get a chance, visit with some of my other pages on my blog. Would love to have you see everything, and remember....say Hi so I can visit with you too. Have a great weekend everyone!:) See you again soon.

Glassware Blue Glass Green Glass Green Plate Thrifting
Glassware Blue Glass Green Glass Green Plate.
Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies with LilacsNDreams!:) Happy to have you here, and thanks for stopping by. As some of you may, or may not know, I have been home sick for over a week now. We think I might have come close to, or got a touch of walking pneumonia. This is especially depressing to me because this weekend, the first weekend of November a "Girls Weekend" had been planned with a few friends. All of us were traveling to a new area, gonna spend a couple of nights so we could roam the area for stores, thrifts, and fleas that had been targeted. I was soooo anxious, planning, getting travel supplies all ready, and then Boom! I get sick, thought I could shake it off, and over a week later I still have it. I have enough that it will keep me from traveling, and of course not wanting others to get sick from me either.
So, I wish them all well with their travels this weekend, be safe, enjoy, have soooo much fun, and hope they find many treasures too!:)
Ok, pictures you are seeing here was one of my last thrifts I had done. As we can see I kind of lean more towards glassware a bit. But, I like doing some of the same things when I repurpose with them, love colored glassware, and there are many possibilities with the pieces too!
So, have a look at the items showing, and let your imaginations spread with it too....have fun!:) I know I hope to soon:)
