Random picture of a gorgeous, knee length, sheer, beaded top. Sorry for the faded picture.

| Beaded goodness!! |
This beauty was a mere $8 at the Salv Army. I was tempted to buy it, but it was wayyy to large. I hope it finds a good home. It was absolutely lovely.

Aha! Another blingy ring!!

Sometimes thrifting can yield too much of a good thing. I have a modest, but well-loved collection of vintage Fire King cups and saucers. I'm always on the lookout to find more.
On a recent visit to the Salv Ann, I found some amazingly mint-condition Fire King for pennies!! The 3 Lustreware cups were a mere 49 cents each. The 20 piece set of milk glass Fire King was a paltry $14.99. It look liked these items were priced by someone who didn't know what they were doing, as vintage Fire King usually fetches a more money. This put me in a conundrum, do I knowingly buy something that was drastically underpriced at a thrift store???

| Temptation |
I carefully examined these pieces...I was particularly impressed by the milk glass pieces. They looked like they had never been used!! Nary a faded spot, or a scratch, or any other signs of wear!!!
After much thought I rolled my cart to manager and insisted that they reprice these pieces. The manager agreed that they had been under-priced... and rolled them to the back to get re-priced. Hah! There was my good deed for the day.
I left the Salv Ann empty handed, and wandered over to Value Village, where I found some treasure!

| Velvet jewelery case $4 |
 |
| Vintage display case, $10 |
 |
| Metal suitcase, $20 |
 |
| Both cases tucked away in my cart. |
These cases will make a welcome addition to my house. I am always on the lookout for functional pieces that will help me store my stuff.
A previous trip to Value Village yielded this vanity case (I love me some vanity cases!!!).

| Jetliner...made in Canada!! |
This grey lovely was $5 at Value Village. I'd love to find a few more.
I plan to put these items to good use in my house - they'll be use to store clothing and other bits and pieces. Pics will follow when I get a chance to take some.
happy thrifting :)
