Thrifty Vintage Thursday

Old lamp parts
(I'll tell you about them later.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is a little something from the thrift store.

It is 100 yards (YES, I SAID 100 YARDS!!!)

It is 1" wide 'something' like ribbon.
Only it is too stiff to tie in a bow.
(calls it a 1" 'tape' on the roll)
I have some wonderful projects in mind for it.
(think crosses)
And yes, it will take me 100 years to use it all. =0)
But, it was less than nine cents a yard with my senior discount!!!

Now that's thrifty!!!

Not so thrift, but definitely vintage, and had to have 'em treasures.

A whole basket of lamp parts.

Look at all these wonderful shapes.
And all so tarnished and perfect.

How about using this for the base of a beautiful glass plate or bowl.

And the two top ones here are wonderful Christmas stars.
And the other a trim on some wonderful old sign.

I paid $10.00 for it all, which
seemed like a lot at the time.
But I have had that much pleasure just looking at them,
and imagining.

~~~~~~~~~~
This is a vintage tin I bought recently.
No great bargain either, but I loved it.
I've taken pictures of all the sides,
because they all have different and beautiful pictures on them.

Isn't it beautiful?

I'm linking up with these nice folks today.
