Some Out of Town Finds

So as I mentioned in my last post, I did a little bit of thrifting both on the way to Astoria and on the way home.  I always like to hit up the out of town stores, especially this time of year when all the Christmas stuff is starting to come out.  You just never know what it is you will find!

My first two stops yielded lots of ornaments for wreath making.

As well as some Shiny Brites.

At one point, I had the full set of the Oregon souvenir glasses but Alex fell into the box they were in while changing our air cleaner filters and broke a few.  I was happy to find one that I needed at the Albany Goodwill store where I almost always find vintage glassware.  I can't wait to find some time to check out all the awesome pictures in the Farmhouse book.  49 cents!  And for whatever reason, I have begun to seriously hoard vintage sheets.  They just look so pretty folded up and stacked together.

I bought a huge two dollar bag full of miscellaneous Christmas crafty stuff just to get these trees.

As well as all of these Japan marked plastic nativity figurines and random deer.  I think this is a complete set minus the actual manger.

I also found this nativity scene in it's original box.  The box still has it's original price tag from the Meier & Frank department store for a whopping $2.47!  I need to find an angel.

 

 

I was intrigued by this box that I found at a Goodwill in Portland.  A quick peek inside showed me that it was an artificial green tree.  For $1.99, I decided to take the risk and buy it without actually taking it out of the box and checking it out.  If you look at the box, it says it's a complete set containing the tree with stand, assorted colored glass ornaments, a glass tree top, and 9' of garland.

No garland, glass balls, or tree topper but at least the tree is cute!  I think I will let Maddie decorate it and put it in her room.

Since her room has a rustic cowgirl theme going, it would look really cute in this old metal bucket I found at St. Vinny's, don't you think?

That's all for now.  I have been out at thrifts again the past couple of days and have another box of stuff to unpack and photograph so stay tuned!  Tomorrow, Brian & I are headed to Portland for Plucky Maidens.  Unfortunately, Hanna won't be able to meet me in time to go so I am going to just have to drag Brian with me.  Oh dang, he may have to buy me something for all his troubles.  HA!
