A Peek at Magnolia Market & My Thrifty Finds

Hello my friends!

This week has been super busy

as my hubby was in Texas for

job training, so I was solo

for the week, running Bebe

here and there.  

 

 

 

He DID manage to drive over

to Waco, TX to see Magnolia

Markets! (My suggestion) 

I think he is bringing

Bebe and I back t-shirts.

I am going to do a separate

post with all of his photos

so stay tuned!

 

 

Today I'm going to share some of my

recent thrift shop finds. I rarely go

to purchase things for myself but

today I'm going to show you finds that

I think I am going to keep!

(At least for awhile!)

 

 

Being the Nutcracker family that we are, I was so happy

when a friend pointed these out to me. I look forward

to using them during the holidays. This is a set of four

 dinner plates, but I could always use a few of them on a 3 tiered stand, too.

 

Moving backwards in time on the calendar, I also found this vintage turkey vase or planter. It would be perfect for our dessert silverware orfor display.

We usually host Thanksgiving so this was a fun find for me.

 

And still going back in the timeline, who can

resist this brightly colored candy corn dish

for Fall? I think Bebe will enjoy it the most!

 

 

 

I will enjoy using these wine glass markers

that I found. They depict different nations...

an Eiffel Tower for France, the Taj Mahal, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Statue of Liberty for the US, etc.

 

 

 

And last...  this was a unique find. As a former local tv producer, I was excited to find this unusual piece. It is an old TV studio camera.

 

It has the large circular piece on the top which shows that in the old days they used FILM. Yessiree, they had to edit the film everyday to bring you the news. No digital easy stuff!

 

Anyway, I'm not sure if it is simply a paper weight or was

it an award at a previous time? I just love it, either way.

 

I still live in the same town as the TV station where

I used to work so I'm wondering if it was a former employee's?

 

I rarely share my thrifty finds that I keep so

I hope you enjoyed seeing them. Always

fun, always a treasure to be found!

 

I'm off to go to work and open up my shop...

 

Enjoy the day!
