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!
Merry Christmas Thrift Store Junkies, Bloggers, Website Visitors!
Welcome to my Thrift Store Junkies page everyone. Glad to have you visit with us this! It's Christmas time, and things generally slow down just a bit with all the travels, shopping, food preparations, wrapping of gifts, and so on. I wanted to take this time to come by here, and wish you all well, and wishes for a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy this special holiday, have fun, and be safe all.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
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 Junkies Wishes a Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!

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:)
Ball Jar, Picture Frame, Pink Necklace Thrift Store Finds.
Hello, and Welcome to Thrift Store Finds with LilacsNDreams!:) Glad to have you here, and that you were able to stop on by.
As I have already mentioned, I have done a little bit of thrifting, but have not been finding a whole lot lately. Weather, seasons changing, and just the mood of shopping lately I have not found much. Soooo, instead of being down about that I spent most of last week...when it was nicer out with sun and temperatures.....in the garage doing some spray painting with items I did find thrifting, and are going to reuse, repurpose, upcycle them, and etc.
During the painting I did find just a few pieces. I found a Ball Jar with that worn tarnished lid:) In the jar there were red colored wooden beads....Hmmm....got some ideas as soon as I seen this. I LOVE Ball jars, but with the holidays the wooden beads will come in handy too. Along with this find I did get a white picture frame with a lilac colored flower in 2 of the corners. Great condition, and had to have it! I found one just like this about 2? years ago, and it is sitting on an end table in the living room with a wedding picture of Me with my Grandmother. Picture was done outside....where we were married, and fits good with the frame. So, this is another identical frame I can put another precious picture with:) I also found a soft pink pearl necklace with 1 pearl earring. Yeah, it was missing 1 earring, but got it anyway. I can find something to do with this yummy pink, couldn't you? Lastly, I got this other item that reminds me of a keyring. I got it because of the glitter stone in the center of it, and of course around the outer circular part of it too. Looks green, looks blue...I like it:)
Well folks, sorry, but this is all I got from a quick stop by the thrift store the other day. Thought I would share with you, and see how ya'll were doing yourselves:) In about 2 1/2 weeks I will be spending time on a "Girls Weekend" with a dear friend of mine who is across state, her mother, a friend of hers, and we are going to meet 1/2 way in the middle of the state. Checking out some flea markets to attend while we are there for the weekend, and any thrift stores, and being in the city like that....many possibilities. Am excited, and hope I can find some goodies I don't see much of around here:)
Thanks for visiting everyone, and know you are always welcome to visit. You are welcome to share anything that you would like too. Take care, and have a super week everyone!:)
Thrift Store Finds Wood Bowls, Glassware, Home Decor
Hello,
and Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies page at LilacsNDreams! Glad to have
you here, and happy you could come by too. WOW! I really have been gone
from this page for a while, and I am so very sorry about that everyone.
Life, busy, busy, family, and it all kind of adds up. Nothing serious,
but just takes the Me time away:)
In
between this long distance of not being here I have not really done a
whole lot of thrifting either...which is sad. Either I have not had the
time to stop, too tired by the time I find a place, or I have gone
looking and just not finding anything of interest lately. I have done a
little, but not as much as I normally do. The pictures I have shown here
show different angles of some of the items I had gotten with one of my
visits.
I
had found 3 wooden bowls of different sizes.....should see what I have
done with them! I had another wooden bowl at home here that is a bit
smaller than the big one showing here, and have painted all 4 of them.
Just finished off with the last of it tonight....not looking too bad.
Along
with this search I had also gotten 2 pkgs of brads that could be used
for scrapbooking or crafting with too. The pink ceramic light with the
hearts was another piece. The top is missing for it, but I can
compromise, and come up with something I am sure:) The rustic looking
napkin/letter holder, a pink rose colored bowl that is by pfaltzgraff, a
nice looking green salad plate, and a blue glass vase too. I did get a
pearl like necklace that was blue too.
Sometimes
finding little things can still be repurposed into some really great
things too. Have to watch my Second Time Treasures page to see what gets
done with some of the pieces I show from thrifiting.
Thanks
again for visiting everyone, and I really do appreciate you stopping by
to see me. Take care, and hope to see you again soon.
