I love thrift stores as much as my mother did.
She couldn't stop by one without
running in for 5 minutes.
It was that look in her eye and excitement she had.
I now
know how she felt.
Every time I'm shopping for that one treasure,
I think of her.
I couldn't resist finding these
vintage Christmas ornaments.
They just don't make them like they used to.
The colors and designs seem to bring back wonderful memories.
I'm so glad I stopped for
5 minutes at the thrift store.
I love this one,
A Shooting Star.
Sending Happy Christmas Thrift Shopping To Everyone!
Hope you find a treasure too!

They are beautiful. I just photographed some Shiny Brites a few minutes ago. I have the same Silent Night ornament. It really is thrilling to find them for a good thrifty price. All mine were found at garage sales. Happy Christmas, Olive

ReplyDeleteThese vintage ornaments are wonderful. What a great find. I love all the soft faded colors.
ReplyDeleteJody; those are so beautiful--you just can't get the colors and patina like that on new stuff! How gorgeous they are displayed in your pretty home. Have a blessed and creative week! Patty
ReplyDeleteLove those ornaments! I haven't seen any of those since I was a little girl and we had them on our tree!
ReplyDeleteI hear you!! Five minutes well spent. Some days I find nothing, other days I can't believe my luck. It is always worth the five minutes. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous ornaments with us! :)
ReplyDeleteVery smart way to use some time, they don't make them the way they used to anymore. Love this display.

That ornament with the pink band...church in middle with greenish-gray band...? Had one like that at our house when I was young ( my mom's tree ) They were probably common in that style back then but wow, I have seen that one before. What fun to see it again! :)
ReplyDeleteI am very happy to have met you, your blog is beautiful, I will return to see the rest, I am enchanted. A hug, Laura
