Recent Thrift Store FindsY’all know that I have definitely been hitting up the thrift stores around here lately, I’ve just been remiss in showing you all what I’ve found. So let’s all check out my recent thrifting finds!
I found this really cool vintage EJS spun aluminum bullet light for $1.50.
I think these vintage mosaic tile trays are really neat and I thought the shape of this one was super cool too. This mosaic tray was $1.00.
I found these vintage Progress wall sconces, Mint In Box, at my local Restore for $4 each.
I found these Salem Biscayne bowls at the local Goodwill for 40 cents each.
I could not resist this cute little Holt Howard Christmas Angel for $1.00.
Hee! I thought this vintage Enesco “drunk guy” mug was too funny to pass up. The mug was 50 cents.
I thought these vintage bar glasses were pretty cool and atomic looking. They were 40 cents each.
I thought this vintage souvenir ashtray was really sweet and I like that amoeba shape too! The ashtray was $1.00.
And last, but not least…..I found this really sweet piece of vintage plaid barkcloth. It is actually a fairly large piece, but that is hard to tell from the pic since it’s all folded up. The barkcloth was $5.
How about y’all??? Anyone out there have some really great thrifting scores lately?

I LOVE the mosaic tray. I have a collection of those that I keep on my back porch where they keep a beautiful vintage tile plant stand company! Great blog BTW!

That’s SO cool that you have the same glasses in a larger size Andrea! I’d use those all the time too if I had them in a bigger size. I know, I just could not pass up that bullet light, even though we don’t have a use for it…..yet.
