Wow! What a day! We hit the thrifts both locally and in our neighboring town. Traffic wasn't so bad considering it is the day before Christmas Eve. It was a lot of fun, we both found stuff we were excited about. I had to take a number of pictures to share!
Hubby has found another German nutcracker to add to his collection, he was sooo happy! Got a box of ornaments, the box wasn't taped and in pretty good shape. There were two stenciled West Germany ornaments in it. I also got these blue icicle ornaments and a new in package poly/cotton tree skirt! Oh and a new unopened bag of those colored pegs for the ceramic tree.
The graphic on the bag is so cute and the lettering on the bottom is so 70s!
I think these glass icicle ornaments are mercury glass--I have to check into it more.
I got a bag of crafted items and it included these tuna can dioramas--one is missing it's contents. I'm not into the wood figures, but I love the little chenille wreath on this guy. The satin ball will be disassembled for materials.
This red ornament is made up of a lot of really neat things. Fancy gimp, these metal pieces with glass rhinestones, there are a number of them and also green glass garland beads! Cant wait to take it apart!
A bunch more crafting goodies!!!! I had to buy a couple decorated wreaths and tree to get some of these. Since it was 50% off day at one thrift chain, it made getting those a good deal. The bundle of multicolored glass ball stems came off a tree, the picks of red glass balls with Japan stickers on each came from a wreath and all the gold (flowers, leaves and foil off an other wreath).
Another moment I couldn't believe my luck! Three new in package, made in Japan flocked birds!!! They were 45 cents a piece! I also got a foam ring that had fabric wrapped around it for 89 cents which beats $4 for a new one and also a Bucilla tree skirt kit which someone cut out one color of the felt and then quit. I may just make them into ornaments as I don't want a green tree skirt...we'll see. What a great day! Now I need to start thinking about what to make for supper!

Aren't these beauties?! There are four pieces each with 'made in Japan' labels. The wreath cost $1.50, there is also the gold foil and a couple of large plastic white poinsettias that came on the wreath.
And then there were birds...
Very cute vintage Christmas treasures!! Merry Christmas~
