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!:)

Welcome Thrift Store Junkies Crafters Handmades Repurposed Upcycled Creators

Welcome Thrift Store Junkies Crafters Handmades Repurposed Upcycled Creators. Glad to have you stop by, and visit with Thrift Store Junkies. Always happy to see you visit. 

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!

 

Vintage Vanity Dresser With Mirror

 

Hello, and Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies! Here you will see pictures

for a piece I brought home on Monday, is now in my bedroom, and
waiting for me to clean it more, polish it, put the missing drawer back
into it, and....the bench that came with it I need to get by it too! Those 2 items did not make it into these pictures, sorry. I first seen this I thought of my grandmother, and the bedroom set she use to have that was in such great condition too! She had the vanity, dresser, and the headboard that all matched, great wood color, and I can still remember helping her clean at home, and polishing the set for her too.

So, anyway, hubby told me to get this home it was my anniversary gift. I hesitated as you know how old wood is, seen some flaws with this, seen some minor places where things were done a bit differently. But, still reminded me of grandmother, and fits with our bedroom perfectly!:) I even found her old jewelry box that use to sit in the middle drawer which I have added to this myself too. Only thing grandma didn't have was the bench like I do:)

Thanks for visiting, and hope you enjoyed the visit too! Remember, always welcome to visit my other pages with the clickable tabs at the top, leave comments, share things, and etc. Take care, and see you again. 

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies Blog Page

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. 

 

Avon Rapture Beauty Dust Dresser Vanity Jar

Avon Rapture Beauty Dust Dresser Vanity Jar has sold today in my store at Artfire! Woo Hoo! This was a nifty little thrift find I had found. No powder in it, but it does still have the powder puff in it, and it is all in lovely yummy vintage condition too! Sad to see it go, but happy it does have a new home that it will adorn too:) Gotta love some of the little things too, right?:) 

Thanks for visiting with me on my Thrift Store Junkies blog page. Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and Happy Thrifting and Treasure Hunting!:)

Vintage Fenton Green Opalescent Collectible Glass Bowl

Hello, and Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies new blog/page for LilacsNDreams main blog. Hope ya'll have found me ok here, and know this is my way of adding pages to my main blog. 

Well now, has anyone been thrifting lately? Have you had a chance to do any good junking, or treasure hunting? I myself have not had much of a chance so far. Been going through things here, donating some things, and trying to get things down in size here. I would like to make some changes with styles in our home, and have to "clean" house a little to do this. 

It's a fight to pass the thrift stores along the way of travels. The times I have stopped to go digging a bit, I just cannot seem to find anything to catch my interest when visiting. I can't even find anything appealing at the time for me to repurpose, paint, upcycle, and etc. THAT is bad when my creative side does not work with me either:(

 I would like to share this Vintage Fenton Green Opalescent Grape and Cable Collectible Glass Bowl I did get a few years ago with a private auction at a Good Will Store in my area. My pictures cannot do the piece justice. Looks like new, is marked Fenton on the bottom, comes from the 80s, and is a rare find. The color, most of this pattern was done with the carnival glass coloring which makes this find a little more rare too. I have researched it, researched, and had other knowledgable people with glassware, and Fenton help me too. Hard to find in the books. So, I contacted the Fenton Gift Shop....neat place to visit, and learn about things online too. They were able to confirm for me it was made with the Fenton mould, it is Fenton, and felt that maybe this piece might have been made for the gift shop. In that case not many were made like this, very few, and I felt it to be more of a rare find with this. 

I have listed this gorgeous piece for sale in my shop at Artfire with my other vintage collectibles. Please, visit with my shop to see the pictures, and details with this piece. 

Glad that you were able to stop here with Thrift Store Junkies, and know you are welcome to visit with us here anytime. Please, leave a comment, share with us here, and enjoy the visit. Hope to see you again!:) Take care everyone, and Happy Hunting!:)
