Thrift Store Thursday—9/24

Be sure to come back tomorrow for my giveaway package of thrift store treasures!

Sorry I’m late with TST today…no excuses. However, I do have something I want to discuss with you. I’ve been debating with myself over the future of TST.

I enjoy showing off my finds, and seeing yours. I also know that I’m not going to stop going to thrift stores. But, I would like to try to move away from buying, and more toward doing something with what I already have, or at least buying with a purpose in mind. Whether or not that actually comes to fruition, we shall see…

My idea for right now is to make TST a monthly event. I’ll go with the first Thursday of the month, which means I’ll have one next week, Oct. 1, and then the next official TST will be Nov. 5.

I’m not promising that I won’t have any thrift store purchases to show you in between, but for me TST will be sort of a highlight reel. I’ll put a MckLinky up, and if you want to join me, that will be great. In the mean time, there are quite a few other thrifty show-off parties around blogland, so I’m certainly not leaving a void.

Now for this week: Dixie and I did some running around last Friday, and here’s what I got.

At Goodwill, this fabulous Gap down coat for Pinkerbelle was only $4. I think Dixie may have really wanted it, but graciously allowed me to have it.

At St. Vincent de Paul, there was a shelf of half-off items, and I got this apothecary jar for $2.50, and the small platter for $1.50. The platter is marked Shenango China by Interpace. I did a little sleuthing; Shenango apparently made diner china, and was acquired by Interpace in 1968. I can’t find any information about this specific platter, but it will look nice as part of my white collection.

Since I got a late start today, I’ll leave MckLinky open until 11:59 Friday night. I am going to enforce the rules this time, and delete any posts that don’t link back to me.
