We haven’t been to a thrift shop or antique shop in quite a while. But, we finally found someone to come and clean our house once a month, and we need to be out of the house for a few hours while she is here. So, we decided to go to The Apple Barrel in Bremen, Georgia to pass the time.
I found several things I liked, but this sweet Kewpie Doll came home with me. I used to have a similar one before we sold everything to go RV-ing. I have been looking for another one for the longest time. This little darling really wasn’t a bargain, at $18, but I was thrilled to get her.
There were three of these in a locked case in the front of the store. None of them had price tags on them, but this one is the only one that had the Kewpie mark on the bottom.
This new little Kewpie will live on the shelf in my kitchen now. She looks right at home there.
Fabgrandpa was poking around in another booth, and found this cute ceramic “chopper hopper.” We had to take it home, too. This fat little man is just too cute. He was also $18, but again, we both loved it and it is still useful.
What have you found in a thrift, antique, or junk store lately?

January 30, 2015 at 9:45 amThere is a Thrift Store in my town that is the best for finding great deals! Twice a month they have a big sale and I got a new pair of boots for $3! They also had a lighted Valentine’s Wreath for $1! I like yard sales and Thrift Stores for saving me money! I like your cute items that you found!

January 30, 2015 at 8:36 pmGood finds! I bet you both had fun hitting the thrift store after not going for a while. My weaknesses are cookbooks and kitchen things, especially baking pans. One of my best scores was a brand-new Chicago Metallic popover pan for five bucks!
