~HOSPICE FINDS~

Hello Guys....YIPPEE!!! Look at what I found last month at the Hospice thrift store....This SCREAMED my name when I walked in the door...Had to bring this one home to add to my other Busts...My Bust enlargement is still growning guys...ha ha!! Is she not a beauty....Not a chip on her...as she's not a chippy kinda gal...Now I did pay $40.00 for her but than is a real steal trust me...she is my biggest bust now...Isn't she a beauty???
Got 8 Christmas glasses...These match my Granddaughter Christmas China so had to get them for her...only .50 each....I know she'll love these....


Big yellow soup tureen for $6.50

Loved these flowers in the vase $3.50




Oh and look at these pillows they match my couch just like they were made for it....$ 7.50 each Oh can you love pillows...






Found 10 of these napkins and you can see the original price was $3.00 each...I paid $2.50 for all of them and new...



Got this table cloth $1.50 and it matches the napkins...now I need to do a table with these maybe using my Yellow dishes I got last year from Hospice...


Another one for $1.50...think I'm going to give this to my Daughter Gina...


A bag of apples $2.50...



Loved this tray Sweet...$2.00


A wire dish rack from ca. 1930's....Oh girls I loved getting this piece...I had one before in my storage barn...but when I got robbed in 2000 it was one of many things that was stolen from me...I think I'll put this one in my kitchen with plates in it ha ha!!
I want to wish all you a GREAT labor day weekend...May it be a fun and safe one for you...My Daughter Dawna is coming to rob me of all my Roo's that I also got from Hospice last month ha ha!! I'll see all of you next week...

~HOSPICE FINDS FOR MAY~

Good Morning guys...Hope all of you have had a Great week so far...I though I would show you my Hospice finds for the month of May...Now you Know how I love this thrift Store...I always find some great things and Love the cause of this shop...as all there monies do go back to Hospice for home care patients...There are no paid employee at this shop...all employee are either from our local churches or people doing community service work to pay off traffic fines or DUI's....You don't want to break a law in this small county or you will be working at Hospice, the Department of forestry, the Library,The Food share program, Even as school traffic guard...if you take up courts time in this county you have to pay for it....Boy you have to love small towns...Or as I call it "Life in Mayberry" ha ha!! Up until 8 years ago we didn't have one traffic light in the whole county....The town I live in we still don't have a one or need them yet...My town has a population of 1650 we have a mini mart, Gas station and a Post office...that's the whole town folks...All our mail is delivered to locked mail boxes at the front of each road...No one get home delivery here...Our Mail Lady drives an old Truck her own...not even a mail truck...see what I mean we live in a small town...We do not have a police department only county sheriff office and all fire departments are volunteer fire men and women....I had a squirrel hit an electrical line here 3 years ago caught my back acres on fire...and the first response up here in the fire truck was my Auto mechanic...so not only does he fix my car but saved my property...we lost about 2 acres that day..... Now I go each week to Hospice which is in the Big city of Jackson...this town is 15 miles from me but where I do all my food, banking, etc.... Now this little lamp I got for $2.50 I am redoing my poor sick guest room and bath and think I'll use it in the bathroom....
Another Ironstone soup tureen $4.50
Found this hanging basket and flowers...but I think I am going to paint it white...just hung it up for you to see....$1.50 Loved this sweet tea pot, with the cream and sugar...Brand new $5.50
Nut baskets...25 cents each...thought these would make great salt cellars...what do you think ???
I got 8 of these "LILY" bowls you can see the sticker is still in the bottom of them...$1.00 each....
blue/white candle holders...half off day...so $2.50 for both
Loved these rose salt and peppers shakers also new...$2.50
LILY plates also got 8 of them...$1.00 each...Oh I see a TT coming don't you ha ha!!
Lace table cloth...new still in package...$7.50
Small covered Ironstone tureen....$3.50
2 more Ironstone sugar bowls...both for $5.50This pitcher I think is so cute...you could use it for Summer or Fall...I see flowers in it on my kitchen table don't you???
Now this glass piece I see alot of things I could do with it...Maybe even for Marty's Cloche Party next week....$3.50
Now these fruit plates just screamed my name...50 cents each I got four of them...
