Thrift Store Junkies Treasures of Vintage Collectibles and More.
Hello, and Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies page. Always happy to have a visitor stopping by, and sharing with all of us too. Sorry, like with some of my other places I have been missing in action a little bit. Trying to complete different jobs around the house, cleaning up after contractors, painting...that has been pushed off, and needs to be done, and etc. Also, working on downsizing my collections, and some treasures I have repurposed too. Getting ready for the big move. Not across state, but out of state, and off to another state with some new experiences to have:) By end of summer, early fall I hope to be Texas bound....or sooner maybe too. Just day by day dealing with everything. But, till then I would like to downsize a little bit more, make packing and moving much easier, and of course....make way for some shopping of new treasures too!:)...LOL:)
I have roamed in, and out of stores a lil bit lately....weather getting nicer out. Don't want to buy too much as it would defeat the purpose of downsizing, but yet....so hard to pass up on some of them treasures out there too!:)
When you get a chance, visit with LilacsNDreams at some of my stores. Any questions contact me with them, and know that I can invoice you separately from these market places too. Paypal, Google Checkout, and Amazon Payments too. Hey, thanks again for visiting Thrift Store Junkies page, and look forward to seeing you again soon. Take care, and have a sweet day everyone!:)

Downsizing and Moving Sale of Vintage, Collectibles, Repurposed, and Upcycled Treasures.
Welcome everyone to Thrift Store Junkies. WOW! I cannot believe I have over looked this page with my site too....urgh! I am soooo wanting to go out and hit the thrift stores, and in about a week they will have city wide garage sales here, and I still won't be able to go. Why? I am working really really hard on downsizing everything with us moving soon. Gonna be moving across a few states, so it is best to downsize my collections, and things for now. Besides, I get to the new place I will be in a new area, different thrift stores, different flea markets, and it could be fun all over again!:) So, till then I will try really really hard to keep ya'll updated here. I apologize ahead of time for the delays of coming by here, and please ask you to bear with me. Sooon, hopefully soon, I can start filling this up as I have intended, and better maintain this too.

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.
Happy Holidays and New Year Bloggers Blogland Website Visitors.
Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies page of LilacsNDreams! Always happy to have you stop by for a visit. Beautiful weather here, and loving it too! Wonderful Christmas Day, and I do hope it was the same for all of you too. Got to eat a little bit, share some time with family, friends, and acquaintenances. Maybe made some new friends on this day too. I hope that is was a great day for all of you reading this.
Here it is the New Year...almost. In just a few more days. What are your New Year Resolutions? Anything big? I know some do not like to make a list as it can also be depressing, or upsetting when things are not completed in full. I myself usually do a mental list of things. Nothing big, nothing I cannot handle, and if I can complete it before the end of the year...I then will add another 1-2 things to it to keep me busy, and pushing me along.
I am sooo wanting to go thrifting, and junking! Especially after the first of the year. Some will be cleaning out things in their homes to make room for something else they got in place of it. The temptations are there for me to go shopping, but still have some inventory reductions to work with here at home. And....looks like we might be moving too! So, I have to watch what I am doing, but know that in the new area, new state that I will be able to find more treasures, and different pieces too. I look forward to visiting the BIG flea market that takes place on the 1st weekend of every month too.
I wish all of you a Happy New Year! May it be all you plan it to be, wish it to be, many great sales for the sellers, and many found treasures for those treasure hunters too! Thanks for visiting, and take care everyone. See you again soon. Have fun, enjoy, and be safe with all the festivities this weekend too!
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 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!:)
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.
