Great Finds

Here are some awesome finds from thrifting this past weekend. A few weeks ago I saw a horseshoe bitters bottle and became very interested in what I could find at the stores. After some research I found this bottle at the local t.s. for Hubbard House. I bought it for 4 dollars and I will most likely make more than 75 dollars for it on ebay.

This is a fishes bitter bottle circa 1898.

The following are two used frames from some garage sales (total $3). I am going paint the frames black and hang them as wall art. Check back for the completed project.

Best of luck to you and your thrifting!

Swag Project....Complete.

Here are some pictures for you:

Not too bad, uh? I would love to get rid of the very boring white walls but I live in an apartment and don't care too much to have to paint it white again before we move if we were to paint our walls.

This isn't a consignment shop lady!

So RedAries and I went thrifting this past Saturday. We hit up a few garage sales and experienced something very interesting, and maybe very common. At one house, there was a woman checking out the clothing for sale. On her back, literally speaking, the seller was watching her go through each piece of clothing. This seller was asking $10 for a piece of clothing. I think it was a skirt or something. The seller also said and I quote " I don't buy cheap clothes". After hearing this I looked at RedAries and mouthed "let's go!". I would also like to add that she had no price stickers on anything. Scary huh?

Has anyone ever run into something similar?
