Fun Find!

Good afternoon to you all!  This is just a short post to share my latest find for $5 or under!  This very Brady table was located at Trinity Thrift!  It was filthy dirty, but look how awesome it is.  The table top is laminate and the base must be cast iron because it is really, really heavy!  I love it!  I am in the process of moving a couple of other things around to make room... what to do, what to do!  Anyway for $5, I thought it was fantastic!  If this had been in a boutique I am guessing $60+!  Happy Thrifting and have a great evening!

A very Brady table!!!!! ADORABLE for $5!!!

Jewelry Bonanza!!!!!

Good afternoon!  Usually I try to go out to the local thrift shops on Mondays.  I always feel like they tend to receive donations over the weekend and the selection is somewhat better on Monday.  Today we (my trusty assistant, Will and I) headed to Goodwill and Trinity Thrift. 

Goodwill netted only one good find.  A cool glass cloche for $.99!  It is very pretty now that I have cleaned it up.  It was awful and looked like frosted glass, ICK!

Real Simple Magazine had an article about these in their March 2011, issue!

We moved on to Trinity Thrift... I can usually count on at least one fun item.  I found the groovy coffee table first.  It was marked $10!!!! A solid and I mean solid wood table on metal legs.  It is a Lane piece from the early 1970's I would guess.  It is awfully cool, and for $10, you really can't go wrong.  Here it is already in place in my living room.

I like the low, hefty profile and modern shape of this table.

As Will and I were walking to the register to pay for the table, I glanced into the cases along the wall.  An interesting vintage pin caught my eye, so I went in for a closer look.  There were so many cool pieces!  I had a difficult time choosing just a couple.  Here are the ones I took home... there are a number of others that are equally interesting, trust me!

Rhinestone bracelet... perfect $10

roadrunner pin was Will's favorite $5

Two inch pin with people, funky... $10

Another huge pin with clasp to make it a pendant necklace... $10

Lovely, swingy, rhinestone necklace.  Nice length, too! $10

detail of pendant

So that is all for today my friends.  Just a few odds and ends and some very pretty jewelry! See you next time I am on the thrifting hunt!  Bye!

Glad for a Local Day Out!

Hello there!  I know I have been absent for a bit.  Things have been nuts around here in general and for the last seven days I have had a full blown case of pneumonia!  Yes, feaking pneumonia, in May!  It was awful and not something I care to repeat.

Today I finally got out and about in the area and found a few small treasures.

Chair detail from deco set

Way cool original leg detail all intact!

Entire set fully functioning with leaf! The set was marked $125!  Not bad for one is such great condition.

This enamel top table would be a perfect kitchen island for $45

Two cute chairs with cool lines in need of funky upholstery and paint job from Trader bucks for $30

Goodwill offered this neat gold chair for only $9.99.  It is sturdy with nice lines but needs new padding and upholstery.

That is all for today!  If all goes well, I may make it to Indy later in the week with a few thrifty stops along the way.  See you all soon.
