christmas weekend thrift...sorta kinda

logistically, it was pretty much impossible for me to get to a thrift shop this weekend, so if not for my mother's thrifted items for me, i would be in the corner, probably fetal positioned up -- with a not very pretty case of withdrawal sweats.

she loves to thrift as much as i do...being an immediate descendent of hers, it maaaay just be what runs through our veins. and, her neighbor loves to thrift as much as we do too, so mom always has someone ready to go at a drop of a (thrifted) hat.

the cake carrier is in great shape, just missing the handle, which to me, isn't a deal breaker since we can sell as is (pretty decor) or keep our eyes peeled for a crusty-rusty cake carrier with a great handle. see? it's like a game of hop scotch or a little puzzle.  the sewing notions carrier is a super blue with a tray inside and no cracks in the plastic...two downers that usually happen to these *beauts. 

the transistor radio is a fun find and it comes with original box, manual and, what appears to be one of the first sets of earphones ever. the three pronged ruler was moms thrifting partners find for me, and mom is great at finding old staplers!

christmas day was full of picking through some farm metal! a nontraditional, but totally fun sort of way to spend Jesus' birthday! tomorrow i'll show you all the goods we packed into the pickup. (teaser: chicken shed finds and abandoned house hoopla.)

*who knew beaut was an official word? not i said leah. but no squiggly like appeared so i googled it and bam, there it is.

linking up with apron thrift girl and her thrift share monday!
