Our Goodwill and Salvation Army stores just don't have anything but pure junk. I don't know if the workers go through things first, call in dealers, or what. If I really want something, I have to go to auctions, flea markets, or yard sales and that can be very time consuming. I really don't "need" anything, but looking gets into your blood, doesn't it! <br /><br />Glad you found a real treasure!Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638073553916811179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692892110208944143.post-78896714788127005802010-01-21T18:05:51.512-06:002010-01-21T18:05:51.512-06:00That little tin is very nice.

I have lots of antique pieces, but I just use a few, mixed with more classic things. I had never been in a thrift store until blogging and last weekend we went in some antique shops. I even bought a sweet little dish (on my tablescape this week) with letters around the edge...wouldn't have done that until I started reading your blog! <br /><br />I actually prefer the thrift shops...less stuff and clutter. I haven't found many things I like...but, those I have found have been exciting!<br /><br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692892110208944143.post-55643229994258845222010-01-21T11:01:23.780-06:002010-01-21T11:01:23.780-06:00Fun tin and a lucky find!Fun tin and a lucky find!Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245963180065978054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692892110208944143.post-64907539007078126052010-01-21T10:31:31.249-06:002010-01-21T10:31:31.249-06:00The tin has a great bright green color.

Our thrift stores don't have too much in the way of antiques either, for that you have to go to a vintage/antique store, or better yet, one of the large flea market's here in S. Cal. I have a little vintage valentine on my post. I'll be putting more up for your party, but decided to put one up ahead of time in case someone wanted to copy the image and use it.<br />Blessings,<br />MarciaSimple Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655741174904816921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692892110208944143.post-47780475408088647142010-01-21T07:25:28.134-06:002010-01-21T07:25:28.134-06:00I'm with you - I don't seem to find much v...I'm with you - I don't seem to find much vintage or antique things in my thrift stores anymore - or else they are more than I want to pay.

Our thrift stores do have vintage stuff in them - one still undercharges because the stuff is 'old and grotty' but the other overcharges because the manager has a good eye for the quality of what she's selling... drat...<br /><br />In addition I buy a lot from Vide Greniers, which are like collective garage sales. Sometimes the brocante dealers there have good prices, but other times they are way out of my price range. The private sellers are often the best places to buy vintage, partly because some of them think they only have 'old and grotty' stuff, too.Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692892110208944143.post-72447269284923084472010-01-21T01:33:32.882-06:002010-01-21T01:33:32.882-06:00This is adorable and would look GREAT on top of a ...This is adorable and would look GREAT on top of a stack of the picnic baskets!!What a wonderful thrift store find!!
