J IS FOR JUNKIN

I am joining Jenny for Alphabe-Thursday HERE
Our letter this week is J for JUNKIN

And since this post is about my great 'thrifty' finds...

I'm also joining Suzanne at COLORADO LADY for Vintage Thingies Thursday


A few weeks ago Linda @ Coastal Charm had a giveaway in connection with her weekly party NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAY(check it out) and I was one of two lucky winners to receive $20 (in cash my dears) to go junkin with.  Today was the day.

I took my $20 from Linda (cute card with the L and isn't Linda such a wonderful name) and I had a 50% off the "ENTIRE purchase" coupon for Value Village that my Mom had received in the mail.  Woo Hoo!  I was ready.  Drizzling day but nothing stops a Junker!

I dug and I searched....high and low and rolled that buggy all over that store....this is part of what I scored (well except for the lens cap..anxious to take photos I guess).
I am a true Junker and love Thrifts, Flea Markets, Yard Sales and freebies!  This was so much fun to spend $20 and see what I could gather with that money.
First I must confess I looked at clothes...I don't usually but I did today and I got myself a new 'outfit'!  Pants, shirt & sweater!  

 Hard to see from this photo but he pants are cute Capri's (brand new)white with embroidery, pink pull over shirt and a light white sweater, total price for three pieces $11.00

.

This tea cup, 4 saucers, 2 bread plates & creamer were my first  non-clothing find! 

No markings but I thought they were tres sweet

Two baskets, bright green planter marked Maddux of Calif

cute little milk glass dish & this ashtray

Golden Nugget Gambling Hall, Downtown Las Vegas 60 cents

and the lemon is a salt shaker for 50 cents

 Pink Planter new and very shabby chic and some great old silver

I got two of these little filigree dishes marked Lovelace from International silver company, $2.02 each

Silver sugar bowl marked F B ROGERS and very heavy

love the feet and handles only $3.93

I really like the color of this glass planter 

Books~ Hardbacks (3) were 50 cents each and the paperbacks were 25 cents each (I  got 6)

History of the Marines (my Dad was a Marine) we had this book but someone else in the family got it so this one is mine

This looks like an interesting book about Television

This was a fun find....a bag of patterns for 90 cents

Love these 60's looks....the one on the right looks like something Jackie Kennedy wore!

I also picked up some napkins, table runner and a few other 'gifts' that I can't show you.  

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...total $42.55

HALF PRICE.....$21.27

I am one happy Junker!!! 

Always,

Linda
