Finding little things at thrift stores

Nice score!

yup those stores are great.
I have my eyes on a vase in the window but keep forgetting to stop there. Prob be gone before I get it. But thats okay

I love Goodwill myself... I got almost all my glassware there, except for some of the smaller potion botles I got from micahels... sometimes they have good halloween and x-mas stuff (saw a douglas fir once, didn't have any $ on me, gone the next day... $8 I think, doh!) plus there's one a couple miles from work so I check it out during lunch.

I can NOT find a dougie! I have been looking for 3 years. It really sucks!

They had one at my old job that they set up but turned off because it annoyed everyone who walked by. I should have taken it. But I just couldn't bring myself to 'stealing' even though it had been given to them and wasn't bought with company money.

You're not stealing it...you're LIBERATING it!

I sure wish I had! Poor Dougie, he deserves so much better!

People don't appreciate what they have, all their Christmas decorations are donated and they treated them with such disrespect. I wonder what they would have done if corporate had bought them? I'm thinking probably not much better.

I stopped by our local thrift store today and went nutty! They were having a 50% off everything sale!

I bought around 30 picture frames! The most expensive was $5, so only $2.50, most were $1 and under to begin with.

I spent way to much on that and other things, but I have taken so many awesome graveyard pics that I'd love to put them up for Halloween!

Here's my plan, rub down the frames that look a little worn with some fresh stain (they are almost all wood) or distress them a bit more. I got the "best" ones, so only a few are a little banged up. I also didn't get anything bigger than a pic I can print out on our printer.

My plan is to use them for regular pictures to hang around the house, but have 2-3 pics in the frame so that I can take them down and switch the picture out to whatever fits the bill.

Ish- you want a dougie? I have several that are all torn apart/hacked. Was going to make lots of stuff...yeah right! Let me know if you want one.

W..w..What?!! I'd love one!

Honing in on someone else's dougie doc? Tsk Tsk Tsk Have you no shame?

I'll save you from yourself and take yours over here! LOL

I just bought a plastic small black kettle for 60 c and a silver looking coffee pot for $2.

I've taken the coffee pot and taken off the handle, electronic plug in in the side, nozzle and plastic knob on the lid. I have to fill in the holes, paint it with metallic bronze, add a plaque to the front, and I should have a cremation urn if my idea works correctly.

Just got a pack of 8 medium rubber spiders for $1 from the dollar store.

Hadn't planned on it DFBL. heh Just one of the many static props I'm building that I havn't seen before. My wife thought it would be funny to add a rocking mech with a voice that says "Let me outta here!" and then have it sneeze with ash exploding out of the top. LOL.
