A Second Hand Treasure

A trip to the Thrift Store (DI)

Always gives me a emotional boost. . .

I know for you non-junker thrifters, you just can't understand

Maybe it is the "thrill of the hunt"

Or maybe it is just finding something that makes you smile,

Or maybe it is finding a Second Hand Treasure

Well, here are a few things that made me

Smile

A cute Easter Egg Holder

Now just who says I have too many bowls?

How could I pass-up this pretty blue?

And PINK, oh, I must add them to my pink dishes.

I never pass-up Milk Glass. . . Oh, Never!

Look at the pretty design. . . . I already have a place for it.

Oh, but this is what made me SMILE. . .

These two adorable figurines.

This one is an original Precious Moments

This one looks like a Precious Moment

But she is not marked. . . still adorable and beautiful.

There was no way I would pass-up these little lovelies. .

When finding things at the second hand store you never know what 

The story is behind a piece. . . .

Notice the frame I have the Precious Moments sitting on?

Well, it was not that pretty when I bought it for 50 cents.

I took the glass out and behind it was a

Christmas card. . .  with envelope. . . . addressed to

Oma and Ompa VanKomen

That little frame had belonged to someone's

Oma, and Ompa

And they had framed the Christmas card.

I think the card looked like it was about 1950ish

I painted the frame, cleaned the glass put scrapbook paper

for the embellishment, and gently placed the card between the paper

and the back of the frame. I will preserve that story.

Maybe that is why I like to find second hand treasures,

Each piece has a story, it belonged to someone before it belonged to me.

That is a little like people

We each have a story behind us.

And some of us are

Second Hand Treasures!

Please do come back, I love your visits
