My Lucky Find!

Well I was with my mom the other day. We were shopping our regular thrift stores route when my mom told me about an antique and thrift store all in one. This store has sleds from the old days like the ones you would see on old labels. It has wood burning old stoves for the kitchen and living area. It has tons of knick knacks that are antiques. Stuff that's collectible, regular dishes, Army clothes, Marine clothes, and other Armed forces gear. Old doll houses still in pristine condition. rocking horses, bouncy horses, and tons of books. It is a lot crowded I would say overcrowded. The prices there are cheap compared to what you would pay off ebay way cheaper. I would say 90% cheaper. They even have farming antiques in real good working condition cheaper than what you'd buy on ebay too.

Other finds I got that day was a $2 bag purse that was made to look old out of denim, but it was brand new paper still in it with what I found in the paper an original price tag they overlooked for $34.99. The price was in side the paper whomever priced it didn't take the paper out, so they wouldn't have seen it fall out. It didn't stink or anything moldy like. It smelled brand new. Some person didn't like it because it didn't have a coin area inside the purse. Hey have they ever heard of a wallet for ladies? That is what these purses use. Now I can take pop, candy, and popcorn in a bag from home to the movies, as my theatre doesn't check purses just coat pockets. I won't have to pay for pop, candy. or popcorn at the theatre for two to three to five years if I keep my purse in good shape. Thank goodness I know how to sew, and it is washable.

I also found an expensive picture frame from a department store. The package was torn, and it was never used. Nothing was broke off on it, It had little garden and kitchen things glued to it.to make it look pretty for $2 total. In the store I would have had to pay $15 and up. Perfectly new except for the torn package. Even the box it came in at the store was new looking. No dents or tears/creases. I plan on giving it as a gift this christmas. The best find of all spending time doing what I love with my mom that was free.
