Ended up snowing later in the evening- just like someone shook the snow-globe. It was quite pretty and Mr. B had already taken all of the remodeling stuff to the curb ..so we sat inside and enjoyed it.
We went to a thrift sore here called Deseret Industries (DI for short). It's run by the Mormon church and there are several around the valley.
We go in periodically to see what new...and today I scored big time...got this "vase-like-lamp" for $5!
Then I picked up this little cheese-dome - thought it would look cute with a small nest with eggs in it - for $1
(excuse the drill still sitting on the turn-table..heehee...)
I also spotted this...
Don't know who's in the photo - but the frame is heavy and only $1. We also saw, but I didn't buy, a large frame with someone's wedding photo still in it! Totally from the 80's - big hair on her and him with a mullet - how funny! Even if you're going to donate the frame- at least take out the photo, people!Embarrassing to say the least...
Then I wondered if the frame I bought might be magnetic -it is...as silly duck would attest to..
Found this cute little bird..50 cents..
Then, at a "regular" store, World Market, found this GREAT bag. It was on the 75% off table but did not have a price tag attached. The other bags were all about $24.99 before discount.... I picked it up and carried it around until I found someone to ask - she sent me to the register and when the girl scanned it said "$2.47"
SHUT UP! That's like 90% off! (see, I CAN do math when I want to)
I thought it would be like $15 or $20 dollars, at least! She entered the SKU numbers again and came up with the same amount...$2.47..I'll take it says I..
SCORE ME!
( the round things are like blig-y round shiny objects)...and it's lined with this pretty lime-ish green...
The colors are really much more vibrant than they show here. I LOVE it!
Have a great Sunday and remember to flush, wash, brush, floss...and call your Mother!

You've made my day once again! So fun reading about the treasures you have found. I could go to the same store, see the same things and not realize what treasures they are. You have a great eye for the "not-so-obvious-to-the-rest-of-us" stuff.
Happy Sunday. Betty
I have never seen so many great finds at great prices. Girl you hit the jackpot.
Neat stuff Colleen!!!! and I just love your bag ~ good snag on that one for sure! I love that little dome, why is it everything looks wonderful under glass? Maybe I should have one over my face!! xxoo, Dawn
Hi, colleen, I see someone else loves thrifting & yardsales too! And we got the very same cheese dome yesterday for $1.00! How about that. You got some neat stuff.
Thank you so much for stopping by!

score! what a great summer purse. Were you able to dumpster dive? or to much snow?
LOVE LOVE LOVE the bag! I will need to go to our World Market and see if I can find it. Have a great day!
Wow! There's hardly anything better than a good day of "junquing", thrifting, and bargain hunting - unless, of course, it's a good day of dumster diving and trash pickin'! Looks like you made quite a haul! Can't wait to see all of your finds in action in future posts.
Blessings!

I LOVE that you say " SHUTUP!" You are a riot. I would've said the same thing to score a purse for that cost. That's only 2 Wendy's Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers and some change. cHA ChinG.. nice deal!! Love the bowls too. I'm renovating my kitchen: it's a disaster. But I've yet to figure out how to pick my theme.
