Thrift Happy
I should have been cleaning. But when the urge to seek out unknown treasures for bargain prices calls, cleaning loses every time. No hesitation. Not even close. Oh well, life's too short anyway, right?
Every year I go to a sale in Mazomaine, Wisconsin, about 25 miles from my house. Held by a church, the prices are cheap and selection is great. I somehow missed the first day this year, which is the best day to go. But I went today, the second day of the sale, and still brought home a couple boxfuls for about $22.00. (yess!) Here are some of my finds. Pardon the mess, I was too excited to get them out of the box to clear the table much. Oh, and that cleaning thing.
How great is this table top lamp? I PAID $1.00 FOR IT. (This is why I am a junkie.) Need to get some type of shades for it and find a spot for it.
I was taken with this signed photograph picture, the colors are really nice. The photo was was taken in Italy. I really like the triple mat on it too. It was $10.00, but they saw me hesitating and knocked it down to $7.00. I Need to get a different frame for it, something with a little contrast.

Love it! I can't wait to see the lamp with shades!
I'm in total agreement that you need to get there early if you're going to come away with any interesting finds. Looks like you definitely got a few!
