I really wanted to get to a couple of thrift stores here in Flagstaff while I was here, but that was not to be. I did get over to Tuesday Morning, and found a couple of really good deals there, though.

I found two bras that were normally $39 that had been marked down to $10 each. I also found a hank of really nice soft yarn that is a blend of cotton and viscose, regularly sold for $12.99 but marked $4.00, probably because they only had one left.

My best find this week

While we were poking around Shamrock today, we found a really neat thrift store, P.J.’s. It is located on Main Street in downtown Shamrock, right next to the Blarney Stone.

I found two  things I couldn’t leave behind. The first thing is something I really do not need, but check it out! It was made in Austria. My maternal grandmother was from Austria, so I took it as a “sign” that I had to have it! It was also marked down from $75 to $25, so that clenched the sale. It is so fragile and beautiful! I didn’t count how many plates and bowls but there are 4 cups and 4 saucers in this set, so at least I have a service for 4. Yeah, I am a sucker for pretty dishes.

Porcelain dishes from Austria!

The second thing I bought was another Pyrex bowl. This one is a divided bowl and also has a lid. It was $6.00

This week I found a vintage Pyrex dish with a lid for only $12! I am going to be using this in my microwave to steam veggies, instead of using plastic wrap.

So technically, this is Friday, but I wanted to share this fabulous thrift store find with you before I forget, and next week is going to be so busy around here.

Sewing table

I have been wanting to get a new table for sewing in the RV. The one I had is just a little bit too big, and has to be moved onto the bed every time we travel. Which means I have to move it onto the bed every morning then take it off every night. I was looking for something just like this, a sewing machine cabinet. This one was only $20 at a thrift store in Tallapoosa, Georgia!

It opens up

The top opens up just like every sewing machine cabinet I have ever seen. When it is open, it is just a little bit too long for the space I have, but I can turn it sideways a little bit when I am sewing and it will open all the way up. The best part is that I can leave the sewing project out overnight if I want to and just close up the top out of the way.

The sewing machine was still in it

One of the best parts of finding this cabinet is that the old sewing machine was still in it. I am sure that thing doesn’t work, and it must weigh 40 pounds, but I think the old sewing machines looked pretty neat. It will eventually go in my sewing room in the house as a display item.

All the attachments were in there

The original box with all the sewing attachments and different feet for the sewing machine were in there too! This is such a great add on, I can’t believe I got it for only $20!

The instruction manual

Oh, and can you believe the instruction manual was there, too? There is no date in the book, so I don’t know exactly how old this thing is, but I am loving this particular find!

This week we went to two thrift stores. On Tuesday, we had to go to Carrollton, Georgia. On the way home, we were passing by the 7 Day Flea Market and Discount Groceries on Hwy 27. I have been wanting to go in there since the first time I saw it, so we stopped there for a minute. It turned out to be mostly junk, and lots of cases of damaged grocery items. There wasn’t much that I would buy, and we won’t be going there again. It wasn’t a complete loss, though, because I got a jar of McCormick Gourmet Collection Parsley Flakes and a jar of McCormick Gourmet Collection Saigon Cinnamon for $1 each, and a can of icing for $1. (That stuff is good on ice cream.)

Not bad for $3 total

Then on Wednesday, we had to go to Gadsden, Alabama to the VA Clinic for Fabgrandpa’s semi-annul checkup for his thyroid meds. We forgot about the time difference between Georgia and Alabama, so we were more than an hour early for the appointment. The American Thrift Store was across the parking lot from the clinic in Rainbow City, so we decided to stop in to see what they had to offer.

American Thrift Store

This store was huge. It was mostly clothing–what seemed like acres of it. But, if you take your time, you can find a bargain or two in there. It just takes looking around.

Too green for me

This sofa and chair could have been a bargain at $124, but you had to see it in person to appreciate how very yellow green it was. Sort of the color of snot. Yuck!

This store did have some other furniture that looked pretty good, but the prices they had on it was too much for used stuff. One coffee table had a price tag of $274 on it! Really?

Here are my purchases for the day: 2 small goblets (or wine glasses?), an embroidery pattern, 2 and part of another cones of thread, and some bra band extenders. Total spent: $2.74. Those cones of thread are very expensive in a fabric store. Joann has them on sale this week for $11.99 each.

Total spent, $2.74
