Thrift Store Finds for LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies

Here is a full view of items purchased to repurpose with. Came home with a box full, and was happy with my finds so far. They all have been washed, dried, and now waiting for me to glue them, and do what I would like to do. I got 2 cheese condiment cloches, glass candle holder, 3 green plates...New, unused, adorable blue plate, stoneware candle holder, and the aqua blue tall vase/holder. 

Closer look at the 2 cheese glass dome cloches, and the tarnished look stoneware candle holder. Possibilities, right?:)

The tall aqua blue vase I probably will put in my kitchen bay window with some flowers...love the color in this! The glass candle holder is for a 3 tier plate I will be repurposing. I have another glass candle holder matching this. I know I could mix, and match a bit, but if I can match things up with the glassware, I will surely do that:)

More green coloring seen in person. Tag plates...dinner plate, and 2 salad plates with a brown rubbed like design used lightly through out the plates. These were new, had tags, and will be fabulous when done repurposing them:)

This plate was adorable, and I could not pass up. It has some crackling in it, back side is all white, I just love the button design that is around the rim of the plate itself!:) Cute, and will have a use some where. Hmmm....I just remembered, I do have a white ceramic candle holder that was not used yet. That might just be the one to go with this plate too:)

On Sunday hubby sleeping from working ditches all morning. I went into town to get few items needed for his work, and home. Then....why not? I shot over to the next town to visit the Good Will there. I don't frequent them often as their prices are terrible, but was fortunate with items found on Monday. I also got a St Johns purse that I honestly believe to be brand new, and unused. I was happy with my box full of items, and only paying $10 to have some more things to repurpose with too.

Make sure to keep an eye on my Second Time Treasures Blog Page....tab at the top of this page. There I show my repurposed items I have completed. I try really hard to show the before, and then the after pictures so that you can see what was done. I enjoy repurposing things, being creative, and I hope you all will enjoy with me too. First things first....gotta go thrifting to find treasures to work with, right?:) Thanks for visiting LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies page. Enjoy, be safe, and see you again everyone.

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!:)

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

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!:)
