Hey Baby!
Any good thrift shop finds since we saw each other last? There were a few good ones in the states, but I couldn't get the treasures back. So I left them. But I took some pictures of what I've found lately....
Mind you I don't go that often, a little bit too broke, this new house is a bit expensive. Cheap for the market, but rich for me. Mind you, the market's due to bust anytime soon....
A number #12 Medalta Bowl. Mint condition, no chips or cracks. Bigger than the ones you have. I didn't take any of yours, when we split up I kinda thought of splitting things up like that, taking one from each pair of candlesticks, alternating things of value so they could suffer the same pain I was.
Over time they'd find each other again...
Well, maybe.
Some antique candlesticks from Value Village, $4.00. the pair. Note the style of the shaft and the base, unusual. But old. Also found another pair identical to a pair I already have - $8.00, also very old.
This is the old movement from the clock that didn't work, I had Ron put in a new movement. The one with the twisty pillars. But I liked the old movement and saved it. It's kinda cool.
This is a kinda cool old antique clock, for a toonie at a Springbank Garage sale. Runs, sort of (not well). But the dial is great, all crazed and cracked porcelaine, nice bevelled crystal.
SO you turning up anything good? I must say, the two or three times I've been out there since I've left I've not found anything. Nada. And Tina's as chipper as ever. New hunky male-volunteer sales assistant, though, any luck there? He was sooo friendly I wanted to kill him.
