THRIFT STORE GOODIES!

I went to two thrift stores this week! Here are my goodies:


I'll start with my "prize of the week" - an awesome Christmas stocking for $1.00!


I found a nice roll of vintage wrapping paper, and a silky soft red/black scarf (which I'll use for a tablecloth). I've been looking for a scrapbook or photo album to put all my mother's 1951 shower/wedding cards in. I chose this floral fabric-covered one.


This cute little girl with a polka dot scarf is a Fenton (red sticker included) mug and the mini creamer/syrup is a no-name. The selection of blingy earrings, at 50 cents each, will be added to my craft stash.


Three 8-1/2 x 11 pieces of (what I believe are) real felt, from the old $.17 price tags.


Two boxes of vintage red bulbs and two old tart tins that had been painted as decorations.


Three small glass jars, and a set of 2-1/2" tall spice (?) cans - Meister, made in Brazil.


I was pleased to find an HRM turkey cutter, along with a holly one. A fun bag of pink, silver, and cream bead strands will be put to good use, I'm sure!


I was also happy to find this interesting vintage planter, made in Japan, to add to my collection!


Last is a group of vintage Christmas money holders and one card. In the post below this one I've shown them individually so you can use them if you wish.

I love the vintage Christmas goodies! I found some old felt when I cleaned out my Mom's home. I hope to make something with it one of these days.
hugs,

I can't believe you found that stocking at a thrift! And the little girl mug is too cute! You're finding such good things.
I haven't had any luck yet. But I have my houses from you, and one super cute thing that I found for a good deal (post coming) at an antique store. I think that will be it as far as new things this year...because I soooo don't have the room! :)
