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!:)

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 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:)

Good Morning Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies blog! Glad to have you here, and hope all are doing well. 

Here it is another weekend, and where is the time going for us all? Today is going to be really hot, and humid, and not really in the mood for roaming around too much. I do have a friend who is going to the farmer's market to see all the crafts people are making, and offering. She is not sure if she will get any junking, or thrifting in today, but if I know her....she will try to do some if she can:)

I seen a couple of garage sales when out of town Friday, but they did not really look promising. So, I did not stop. Darn! By myself, and in the mood to do some thrifting, and looking. Oh well, maybe this next week it will happen as I will be that way again mid week, to end of week. Gotta be in the right mood to go looking too:)

Hope this finds everyone doing well, and staying cool with the heat wave we are getting here. It's gonna be a wonderful weekend, and I hope everyone is able to get some thrifting, and junking done too! Take care everyone, and stop again. Always welcome to visit, leave a comment, and share with us too:)

Thrift Store Junkies Community Page

Hello, and Welcome to "Thrift Store Junkies" Community Page by LilacsNDreams!

After doing some work, checking around, questioning, and not being all computer literate this is what I have done. Blogger allows you to have up to 10 pages, but there is a catch....which I found out the hard way. Each of those pages are treated as a static page, you can only put one post on there, only way you get more is to keep editing the same post over, and over. THAT is Not what I wanted! In my research I did find you are allowed to have as many blogs as you want. So, in order for me to make this more of the community pages as I wanted, I have revised things a bit. I spent the day checking on blog names, and set up new blogs that link to this main blog so that I can make new posts. Not only new posts, but so that you can comment after each of them too. Whew!

So, let's get this party started...okay? This is to be a page for all of us to share about our thrifting stories, our finds, our comments, questions for other thrifters, and so on. There are more of us Thrift Store Junkies out there than we all realize. Hopefully this will be a place to gather, and do some things with, and most of all....Enjoy!:)

I am off to work with this a bit more. Hope it is understandable why I have done things in this way for everyone to share. Thanks for being patient with me, and watching the changes as they are happening. Comment anytime you please with this. . . . Thank You Bloggers!:)
