It's getting harder and harder to find vintage bags. Oh and sorry they are so large.

Those are so classy!

I snatched it up the moment I saw the white on white Dior embroidery! So thrilling! $1.50. The lace on this is nothing to sneeze about ... amazing quality http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/dress015.jpg This brand is sold at Anthropology ... for over one millioooonnn dollahsssss! http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/dress044.jpg I Love it ... and I was not 110% sure on it til I got it home ... I like to pay less than $6 for a dress my friends ... this is how infected with the thrift bug I am. I almost left it there ... of course then I would be thinking about it and have to go back at opening to buy it! Who does that!? I do ... again and again and again ... does anyone else in here? http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/dress045.jpg The lace is see thru ... the bust has a solid panel though ... not too French! I may wear one of my very colorful slips under it. Red, yellow, pink ... those all come to mind ... black of course would be an obvious choice .. http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/dress047.jpg Some jewelry ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/dress007.jpg Golden chains with faux pearls and a tassel ... the tassels are so "in style" right now ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/dress010.jpg But the main reason I laid down my $3.50 was the texture of the chain. Can you see how each link is super textured and the yellow gold is kind of matte? This is beautiful old costume quality! Happy! This is my main thrift store I think because it's close enough to walk to and it is near the grocery store. I find that I can find decent jewelry if I just check it a few times a week. They constantly put out new things and I went thru a super dry period! Not an earring as far as my one good eye could see! http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/dress013.jpg *sings* Hoo Are You? Hoo Hoo, Hoo Hoo! I really wanna know! $3 Owl Necklace! http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/fleur001.jpg Pewter Vase $5 .. thrifted Eden Roses .. huge vases of Eden Roses all over the house! http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/fleur005.jpg http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/fleur010.jpg $1 metal stretchy bracelet that has lost its stretch ... I have to restring it ... But I love it ... I had to buy it http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/fleur012.jpg Milky vintage rhinestone earrings ... $3 ... I bought some like this not long ago ... So pretty http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/fleur014.jpg $2 Clip on red white and blue! I have a party to go to on July 2nd! And these will be my earrings ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/fleur030.jpg Sarah Coventry mark ... not sure how old these are ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/fleur023.jpg Ok these are chandelier earrings that I saw on Clothes Encounters (you tube addiction) and these were NOT thrifted but they were on sale for only $5 and I had free shipping!

That slip is such a great find! That bow detail is precious.

Ten cent mugs...I never buy mugs, but I would take a look for that price!

Great find on the shoes! I would be hesitant to spend $5 on used shoes too, but I have no problems when they're brand new .

I love the rich color of the lizard on these! I spent $40 after using my filled up punch card to take $10 off. Expensive at the thrift store for me but considering these were $250-$300 I'll let it slide. I definitely need more boots in my wardrobe!

Wow, those look like amazing quality! I don't normally care for cowboy boots but those are something else.

I love your shoes and don't worry about hoarding. Just make certain you can get out of the house and back in.

That's really a cool bottle.

Lazlo you will enjoy this...I've started purchasing vintage slips to sleep in. They are so much cooler and comfortable than the average gown. Now, I found this gown for $2.80. I will not sleep in it, but I thought it was so pretty.

Also, I found a Roberta di Camerino scarf for $1.....

....and a Mantero (Italy) scarf for $1.

Yeah ... don't put teeth on a necklace.

I can relate to needing cowboy boots! I needed some for the longest longest time! I finally found mine and they are great and were not at all bad! It took years to find mine! i am patient. I can wait for the thrift gods ..

I love your new boots! $40 is not bad! $20 a boot! Downright cheap with some new math! $40 is what a ... mid range not memorable dinner out costs ... yep. Or fills up a gas tank 2/3rd. Or buys two rose bushes. maybe. You got a deal!

Those are adorable!!! I love free stuff also! It's my favorite! Why would you say no to Free!? Your carpet is way too clean to be a hoarder ... sorry!

And I do love it that you got brand new shoes for $5 a pair! Lord save me from having to shop with impatient people!

Ok you need to just be lounging around maybe sitting in front of your antique vanity in that gown! So Elizabeth Taylor! It is beautiful! Vintage isn't it? I love it and I am happy I introduced you to the concept of lounging around in a slip and taking a nappy! NICE! They really do make the nicest nighties! Plus the vintage ones are cut in such a lovely way!

The $1 scarves they KILL ME. LOL ... omg I have to go lay down and dump my scarf collection on myself to recover my senses!

They are now 10 years old, mature and they get some of the water from the run off in my washer. We have set it up so my clothing washer runs off thru gravel to irrigate the roses and tomatoes ... I use organic detergents. And it's obviously working very very well! I give everyone who comes over a rose bouquet! Leaving with flowers in now a requirement ... I try to save coffee cans and cheap vases ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...arfifty007.jpg

How do you keep the bugs away? We have Japanese beetles and aphids so I've had a horrible time with keeping them at bay as far as my roses so I've all but given up on them. Your bushes are beautiful!

My Gardenias and Jasmine still grow very well though.

awesome i am too a gargage saler thrift store treasure finder

I really want to find Chanel polish...what a great find....

I have Ladybugs. I get them every year. They stick around and even have ladybug babies. The lady bug babies eat 10 times more bad bugs than the adults. So cool!

We went hiking up in the mountains and found millions of ladybugs. We gathered them up (not all of them) and brought them home and let them go in the yard. It was really cool.
