Today my friend Rhonda and I got bored and decided to go to a Thrift store that if right next to where I live. It's on Emma in Springdale, I can't remember the exact name of it but I know it says something about raising money for the blind on the sign. Well they were horribly overpriced on most of their stuff. I fell in love with a blue mason jar to find out it's $25...no way. But when I was walking past a bunch of baby stuff I spotted this! A working E.T. lamp for only $7! I nearly had a heart attack from the excitement! I had to buy it. Now it is living happily on my hallway table, with his chest and fingertip (on his head) glowing.
I also found this acorn canister for $3.50.
And I bought this thing. I don't know exactly what to call it. But it's cute and it was only $2. I will probably use it for serving sides or I will put it up on top of my cabinets for decoration.
Council of the Blind, maybe?
ReplyDeleteHave you been to Fayetteville Trading Post? It's relatively new, on College Ave (right near my house! Yay!). It's a flea market, so since each person prices their own booth, some stuff is over-priced, but some really wasn't bad.
that ET lamp is AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteand that dish - that is some CorningWare... possibly a casserole dish or perhaps it's just a serving dish - although i think it's missing the glass top. I remember growing up seeing stuff like that in my momma's kitchen. it's quite possibly the best kitchen stuff EVER. (and VERY hard to break) That is an awesome find and i am jealous!!! <3
I love Fayetteville Trading Post! We got a 16 inch tall Hulk Hogan there and he now lives in my kitchen. Haha.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you Karyn! My mom always had a lot of Corningware when I was growing up, it was white with little blue flowers.
These, right?: http://0.tqn.com/d/collectibles/1/0/j/H/1/cornflower2.jpg
ReplyDeleteEither we had those growing up, or my grandma did. Either way, I totally remember and love them.
Yes! It was those. I remember the lids always ended up broken for them though.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Acorn. I can't stop staring at it. lol One of my best friends has a booth at Fayetteville Trading Post, near the back in the second room by the heater and she has lots of small furniture and owl stuff. I think you would like the owl stuff. It seems to be popular now so you're seeing them everywhere but she has some pretty cool old ones. I was gonna do a booth with her, but opted out since the lady right next to her booth does canning and knitting for really cheap ;).
ReplyDeleteJodi, I will keep a look out for acorn stuff for you! I just love acorns or anything autumn-ish.
