Treasure Hunt Finds

Hello Fellow Thrifters and Friends,

   Another lovely day at the sales. I went solo as Mr Joyful Thrifter took some much needed rest. I however made sure I borrowed his truck just in case I brought something large home. You must always be prepared when you are a thrfit store junky. You never want to miss out on a good deal cause you brought the little car.

These are the lovely treasures I found today

I don't know why I bought these scissors but I did. I thought they were very unique looking. Who knows where I will put them, but I was thinking they might make a cool decoration in my craft room. I paid $2.00 for them.


I paid more for the old book then I normally do, but it was in wonderful condition and the cover had such lovely flowers. Unfortunately there is no year noted in the book. I paid $3.00 for it and it was still a good deal. 


The illustrations are so pretty


Another old book, but this one I bought because it was so much fun. I only paid $0.50 for it. Plus it has great cartoons through out the whole book. 



A wooden spool for $0.99. I am not sure if it is old but it is so cute. 


I saw this lovely quilt hanging on a fense and fell in love with it. I looked around for a bit and finally decided to ask how much it was. I thought it would be highly over priced. The guy running the sale said how about a buck? SOLD! Who wouldn't buy a hand made quilt for $1.00?


The duck is my favorite


Wonderfully sweet yellow shelf for $4.99. I can't wait to use this in my craft room. 


Hope you all had a wonderfully thrifty week!

Smiles,
The Joyful Thrifter

Here are the lovely sites I enjoy linking up with. We get to share more fun that way

  12. Again some wonderful finds. I love that scissor, not sure what I would do with it but it is unique. And yes, who wouldn't buy a handmade quilt for $1. Finally when you put your yellow shelf up in your craft room, you will have to post a photo for us to see and drool over.

  14. A quilt for a dollar? Who ever heard of such a thing? I would have bought that and the scissors. Oh, all right and the books, too. I love books, but I am trying so hard to downsize and stop collecting things.

  15. Wow, great finds! The scissors do look cool. I'm also drawn to old books. Looks like you got two winners. The quilt is so adorable; one dollar, really? What a treasure for $1! The yellow shelf really is sweet; love it.

  27. Those scissors are so cool, I would have bought them, too! And you're right, who sells a handmade quilt for $1? Cute yellow shelf, too. Wish I had a truck, ... guess the family van will have to do:0) Thanks for linking up over at Club G.W. {Goodwill} with Charm Bracelet Diva. It's great to see you there!

    xoxo

  28. You did very well on your shopping outing. I have never seen scissors like that before. That was a steal on the quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Nice finds! You know the book is old if it has no date. I did some quick looking and it seems like your book of religious poems might be worth $20. I could not see the author, so that's a guess, but check on abebooks.com.

    I love that yellow shelf, and the quilt? Oh. My. Goodness. You done good!

  30. Wow! You did great! I can't believe you got that quilt for a buck!!! :)
