Thrift Shop | Buying The Small Things

This was so much fun!! 🌺

Favorite finds: I'm always on the look out for any silver items. I've found some stunning pieces no longer in fashion, but I love them.

[@cherylmellblom9736]

I am looking forward to seeing how you decorate for Christmas, and I am sure I am not the only one.

[@mikki3961]

So satisfying to purchase and save from the landfill perfectly useful, fun, joyful items! Things were crafted not just manufactured. Also we step back in time, imagining who used those things. Thank you Renee, I enjoyed this haul immensely.

[@margaretshelby7210]

I absolutely love the Santa head and the vintage scotch tape. I had a ballerina made like the Santa when I was a kid. The tape reminds of my mom and her Christmas stuff. She had several of the scotch tapes. I always loved the designs. Thank you for taking me down memory lane! 💗

[@dodipc]

That tape is cool! So much nicer than today’s washi tape. Great for journal decorating

[@deborahfogel3689]

I have ever seen those tape dispensers or the little designer tapes. Adorable. And the vintage bulbs were so much prettier than today's. ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@annamorgan9069]

That suede and knit sweater was very Perry Como/Bing Crosby day on the links look. So mid century!

[@SheriMiller-lw9xu]

Great finds! The dispensers reminded me of a sleigh. The snowman lantern was absolutely adorable!❤

[@kerrypitt9789]

I go through these shops and I see so much value in them. Not just from vintage and collectibles but because people on a tight budget can stock their first home or apartment without taking out a loan. Furniture can be shampooed clothing can be cleaned and there are utensils and everything else readily available. I guess people think there is something wrong with doing it but it has to be the best recycle method out there. Great show!

[@PaperandMoose]

Nothing wrong with it at all. At the one auction I used to attend, the auctioneer would always say that buying from an auction was the way to go if you were trying to furnish a home, buy kitchen ware, etc. Same goes for the thrift store. With all of the housewares, clothing, and decor items, no need to buy brand new at all. Especially in regards to furniture... the new furniture can't stand up to older furniture!

Besides underwear I haven’t bought anything that was new in over 20 years

[@juliegraham8133]

I agree, a lot more people are going to be looking for stuff in charity shops as they will not be able to afford to shop in stores or online due to Covid, mass unemployment, foreclosures etc. When I was newly married I bought a cooker from a charity shop and got a twin tub from my Mum. We bought a sofa from a second hand store. We must all learn to be more frugal, like our grandparents were, they could not afford so they did without until they could afford it.😎

[@d.pierce.6820]

I have a second home, a cottage not too far from my home. Every bit of furniture, every dish, all the silverware, all the cookware came from a local thrift. If you were to walk around this house, you would never guess that's where all this came from-original artwork on the walls, silverplate silverware, English bone china dishes, solid mahogany furniture-all picked up for just a few dollars. All the cookware is vintage Pyrex or similar. I stop by that thrift almost every day, and I'm very selective on what I pick. If I find something that's a better fit than what I already have, the old item gets re-donated back to the thrift. This store gets its donations from an old,wealthy area, so there are good things to be found. So often, the people throwing these items away don't realize what real quality is.

I like the way you did your hair today. It was a cute vintage style. It looked great with your vintage top.

[@daemein]

Thanks so much for sharing your finds. I love the tape! I had only read about it in a book about vintage Christmas. I loved getting the chance to see it. So cool. Those little stickers are Christmas seals, and I would expect that you wouldn't have trouble selling them, so you might want to check the bag for more. Thanks again for sharing something I'd always wondered about!

Love the film great fun! Thank you 😊

[@liddybird3608]

I collect the plastic diorama ornaments. Or I used to, I now have so many its hard to find any I like that I don't already have. Plus they've gotten much more expensive. I bought the majority of my collection at least ten years ago when they were much more reasonably priced on eBay. Could never find them in thrift stores.

[@virginiaswafford7078]

Love the scotch tape, remember buying some of them, if I knew then whati know now I would have saved more than what I did.a few years ago I went through my Christmas ornaments and gave my daughters all of them.they use them to this day. There grandmother crochet a lot of ornaments for them as well.very special memories of a time long gone. At least we have them. Blessings to you your truly a special person. Until next time.

Tomorrow, is the start of bringing out the Christmas items, including some of those vintage Lionel Trains. Still waiting for the floor layout track, but will in addition, set up a couple of static exhibits! Have yet to find any fine Christmas items, yet. $75!!!!! I had one of those in red, however, the battery contacts were very corroded, spun it off last year.

@@helenbailey8419 Yes the dispensers were metal and refillable. When they came out on the market place they were snatched up and hard to find. Soon the novelty slowed and you could find them easily.

Anyways enough of that. I love,love what you do. Back in the days I use to sell at the flea markets too. Now I’m 58 and 😑.

Hello Renee. The snowman lamp is so cute. I have never seen the tape like that not decorative anyway . I do remember the regular tape like that. That’s pretty cool. My favorite thrifting item is one I got not to long age. It’s a squirrel that is tan and gold . I don’t think it’s old but I know I seen it and it said take me home so I did . I got it for $1 and I love it. Stay safe and well enjoy your day ☕️☕️☕️☕️🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼💯💯💯💯💯💯

Since you asked...my more recent favorite thrift store finds: I found a two tier curved corner Hekman end table with the leather inlay on the table surfaces, then about six weeks later I found a Weiman Furniture end table with leather inlay. It has a shelf below the tabletop and metal mesh on the side between the tabletop and shelf. Both tables matched enough for my taste. Both about $15 each. I found an article online saying weiman went out of business in 1941 and the Hekman also seems to be pre-mid century.

They had a pretty pattern and were only about £2 I had seen them on KZbin but never expected to find them.

I had a pair of hot pants in 1971. They were dressy, mine were gold velvet, very very short. They stopped right right at the cheek. I wore navy boots and a silk navy and gold top that was tucked into my hot pants. Yes we wore panty hose with this get up.

[@PaperandMoose]

I think many women wore panty hose with shorts, gave the legs some color. At my office job, it's a running joke that I'm the only woman in the building that still wears panty hose. I just can't imagine wearing a dress/skirt and not having panty hose on.

Back in the early 70’s at Veteran’s Stadium, the Phillies had “usherettes” that were known as the Hot Pants Patrol!

[@adventurebythemile]

You need a white tiered tray to display little trinkets like the tape dispensers on. People use to put food on them, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. If you can't find one thrifting or a antique shop, you could go to hobby lobby (I've seen other videos) they carry them or maybe Michaels and buy one and make it look vintage until next years yard sales, auctions, flea market days are back. There are tutorials on Bargain Bethany's channel how to make one cheap and I've seen her spray paint them white and distress them.

[@sharleenjohnston2948]

This is a fabulous idea, Rogue Life! I will definitely keep this idea in mind!

I know you LOVE to plan things out. Something cool and different. (like yourself) Does anybody have any cool ideas to help Renee out? Take care and be well.

[@dawnbowers3828]

Wow love the snowman lantern, you should get a battery and see if he lights up. If he does, you will really want to keep him. We had a small Santa lantern that my mom bought from a man selling them door-to-door in the 1960s. He always sat on the fireplace mantel during the Christmas season. I remember as a kid thinking it was the greatest thing when it was lit glowing with Christmas magic. Every once in awhile I look for one on eBay but they’re always so expensive. Great find! P.S. Love the Christmas tape!

[@PaperandMoose]

The fact that a man was selling Santa lanterns door to door makes me smile. What a great memory to have... I hope that you stumble across a similar lantern in your travels, at a great price, and you can have one again!
