My friend Becky modeling one of the many vintage items she has in her booth:


Don't you just love the hat and cape combo:


A few of the other booths -  I'm thinking abt having my own booth at the Spring Show



At this show I got quite a few vintage Christmas Cards at .25 a piece and vintage Christmas Carol Booklets for .50 a piece which I plan on matting and frame some of these.
I also got a small round tray for $5:


We then went to Hara Arenas Indoor flea market
 we did find some thing but nothing overly exciting



I got a piece of jewelry that I will repurpose into new jewelry for $2
and the Geshia Girl hat pin holder for $4 to add to my collection


On the way there we passed a Goodwill Outlet in Riverside -
now that peaked our interest so we stopped
right off the bat we found an armiore for $20.
We have been looking for something for the family room so we can move the nice tv/armoire to the living room and make the family room one for gaming.




We also got a chair for $5 that I will refinish - either black or white


The thing with the the outlets is that they have these rolling tabled with bins, you must sort threw a lot of junk to find stuff - but the great thing is that the prices is by the pound! Household is .79 a pound for 1-49 lb  then .59 Glass ware is .59 lb.


It is a very very dirty job and you have to be careful cuz there are broken pieces.
I found a lot of nice items - but bring gloves and hand sanitzer





I got so many items - I got 10 doiles - for $3
Sign for .30   Basket .30  5 pieces Silverware 1.50






We got all the items in the above 2 pixs for $20

  7. There's a GW outlet in Riverside? I need to find their address and go check them out. I've been awol from the C'ville store- I haven't found anything there for months. You got some great prices on the tv cabinet and the chair.
    I almost didn't recognize your blog- your new dress is so contemporary and fresh. I like it!
    hugs, Sue
