Let's go to the Jubilee Shop

By now you probably know how much I love yard saling and thrift shopping. Sometimes I go to the thrift shop, (the Jubilee, run by christian ministries) just to browse around. I know lots of people aren't interested in thrift-junk shopping but I happen to enjoy it. Come on along and have a look see, you just never know what you'll find! Be still my heart! No I didn't buy this! I have so much blue/white I wouldn't know where to put this pretty......it's a tureen too........sigh.

Nice wooden pears. didn't buy those either.

WOW, look at this. It's gorgeous. Didn't buy it.

Now here's a very cool wardrobe. The round knobs caught my eye and if you like pale blue and shabby it's perfect.

I almost bought this piece. Almost......the basket interior was unique. I think it was a vegetable bin because the drawer had a slatted bottom, maybe for air circulation...I don't know.

Nope, even though it was only 18$, I have no place to put it, but in my mind I saw it with a new finish and whole new life.

Just $60 for this set of four chairs and if you like this fabric, they're in great condition.

Here's a shabby white table, missing the drawer but still has lots of potential. It'd be good too for a porch or patio. Look what's under that table, a great old wooden trunk ...could be a coffee table.

A friend was recently telling me how she saw these kinds of old lunch boxes used as planters. Think overflowing with cascading flowers, maybe bright red petunias. That would be pretty.

Here's some brown and white transferware. You don't see that often.

Another table calling out for a makeover. Or maybe not if you like the green chippy finish.

Is this a changing table or a great potting bench? This was a great piece but I didn't

buy it either.

I didn't buy a thing, can you believe that? If only I had a bigger house! So if you don't shop at thrift shops, I hope this inspired and encouraged you to get out and see what's there.

While yardsaling this weekend I saw a gorgeous old buffet, mahogany I think. It was only 20$! I could kick myself for not getting it! Later in the day I realized it would have been perfect for our tv in the basement. I've been wanting to have the tv up a little higher and it would've done the trick. Every other piece I find isn't long enough for a 52" tv.

Oh well, next time I hope I'm in buying mode.
