The thrift store was packed with people. I was hoping that everyone would be outside enjoying the nice weather, instead of shopping. Guess they had the same idea that I had. I ran into a lady (literally with my cart) that had been shopping since 8am in this one store. It was 2:30pm, so you can do the math. Her shopping cart was overflowing, with mostly clothes. After apologizing to her, we struck up a conversation about our love for "junkin". She shared with me the names of a few stores that I haven't hit yet. Yes, I will be looking for them soon!
The two wooden things, in the pictures below, were very interesting to me. I couldn't figure out what purpose they served. On the bottom of them, there were tiny hangers, as if you could hang cups on them. If anyone knows what they are, I would love to know. I removed the hangers, so they would sit flat on the table. A couple of succulents and...taaa daaa...they are now flower pots.
The next picture is actually candle holders. (I think) Their vibrant colors caught my eye and I held them, put them back on the shelf, held them again, and decided that they were just to "cute" to give up. In my shopping cart they go. I must have looked at them 20 times before I truly decided to buy them. Really glad I bought them....they are bright and cheerful sitting on my breakfast table. (the picture doesn't really show how bright they are)
I was, at one point, crawling on my knees looking on the bottom shelf. Really glad I did because I found the next flower pot pushed to the back. It screamed to me; "Buy me" "SOLD", I screamed back! I have this one sitting on my table on the deck. I love the rustic look.
All in all, my hunt was successful. I did happen to find a few more things that had absolutely nothing to do with "flowers". Those will be posted on the next blog.
