Thrift Store Junkies Buying Selling Sharing

Hello fellow Thrift Store Junkies, and Welcome to my Blog! Happy to see you drop by. Hope everyone is having a fabulous holiday season so far. 

So, has anyone been doing any thrifting lately? I have noticed, and have seen others comment about the same thing too....More people are thrifting this year for the holidays. Whether it is for gift giving, finding things to restyle with, repurpose, upcycle, and etc. More have been shopping with Thrift Stores, and the Second Hand Stores. Not a thing wrong with it! I LOVE it, and enjoy doing it myself too. But, unfortunately, I have not had much time at all to do any of that. So sorry as I really enjoy showing things here that I have found when thrifting. 

After the holidays people will be cleaning out their homes again making room for the new they have gotten. I myself will enjoy doing some leisurely thrifting too. 

Thanks again for visiting with Thrift Store Junkies, and I have enjoyed your stopping by. Don't forget to say Hi so I know you were here, and never be afraid to share something here as well. Take care, and see you again soon. 

Thrift Store Treasures Found From Past Week

Thrift Store Treasures Found From Past Week. Hello, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies! Glad to have you here:) Below you will see different pictures of things I found while Thrifting on Friday, and a few from earlier in the week too. Hmmm...what to do with them, what to do. I was thinking of keeping the lamp for me. Hey, gotta treat myself now and then too:) LOL:) I was also thinking of painting the wood to blend in more with our decor at home too. The other things....Well, got some ideas. The plates with the glass candle sticks are ready for attaching, going to make it a 3 piece set of matching. 2 of the glass candle holders are exactly alike, and the 3rd glass candle holder is like the 2 matching, but a bit shorter, and more rounded top. 

So, have a look, any ideas would love to hear from everyone too:) Thanks for visiting Thrift Store Junkies today, and hope ya'll have a super weekend. Happy Thrifting, and may you find many treasures to adorn your home.

Wood Lamp does work, has a bit of an older cord with it, but looks made too. Top is like a wooden bowl that can be found, and etc. 

Close up shows a milk white glass candle holder, glass candle holder, green glass bowl with tarnished base, the wire hanger in back of picture was on the small green glass bowl up front. 

2 hankies, 2 cloth napkins matching, green and white lace, a pink and white ribbon, and some knitting needles with 2 each for the colors I found. Got me some ideas for these:)

Actually I had found together 4 saucers with no cups, designed rim, silver line rim, and cute pink rose in center. 3 of them will be getting repurposed with the glass candle holders also in view here too.

Close up to the saucer plates that will be repurposed soon.

Another close up showing the glass candle holders that will be repurposed with the plates. Set of 3 will be sold together too. 2 glass candle holders are identical in height, 3rd glass candle holder is also identical to the other 2 except for the height...very slightly shorter, and has a more rounded top. 

Hope you enjoyed the visit, and the treasures offered for viewing. Have fun with some thoughts, ideas, and maybe something to help you with your creations a little bit too. Take care, and see you again:)

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.

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
