Friday Thrift Finds

That's two*clink* two thrift find posts in one week.  Maybe the junk gods are going to smile down on me again soon.  It's been a long winter!  I chose not to go to the Estate Sale yesterday because I knew it would be packed and I only had d certain a mount of thrifting money set aside.  Besides, I never know what I missed and I am happy with what I found. 

As it turned out, when I got to the sale, I actually knew the lady having the sale.  I see her at all the thrifts and she has sales quite often.  She owned a shop at one time, she sells on ebay and has these occassional sales from time to time.  (I suppose the word occasional explained that...)  Anywho - I had told her about Etsy and she told me today that she was loving it, so I was glad to hear that.  She had a lot of neat things, but her prices were a bit higher than I like to pay.  Not that they weren't worth what she had priced - it's just that I have this damn cheap gene and I won't pay much for junk. 

First the junk I get to keep.  And, it's not junk - it's good stuff!.  A sweet vintage aqua pottery pup, a nice matte white vase and a small flower frog.  The pottery is perfect for the pottery collection and the flower frog fits right in with my collection of frogs.

A vintage cedar cigar box - DYNAMITE.  I like to keep my crafty stuff in cigar boxes - I love the unique ones like this.  What shall I keep in it?

I was on my third and final walk through when I spotted this giant handmade key on the door frame.  It was only $1.00, so I snagged it.  Nest to it was  set of metal keys on a ring that I thought was $2.00, so I scooped them up too.  The Bean informed me they were $20.00!  Yikes!  Quite a difference in prices. 

Now for the find of the day!  Like I said, this lady knows her stuff and sells in a lot of different venues.  So, for me to find something worthy or reselling at a decent money really surprised me. 

OLD stone fruit.  Really old stone fruit.  Not that made in Mexico stuff. 

 A beautiful apple.

Two overly ripened bananas.

 A juicy ripe peach.

 A sweet nectarine.

An ready-to-eat apricot.

 And a fig. 

I love old stone fruit, but I will be listing these this weekend to sell.  They deserve to go to a good home that will treasure them.  They are really great.

So, did you find anything this week?  You did?  Spill it!

*You remember those old Certs commercials, right?
