The Prize: The satisfaction of winning, AND $5 in "soso bucks" that can be applied toward any purchase in either of my shops. Can be saved and spent at a later time, up to one year. Can be combined with other wins or offers. Not redeemable for cash. Non-transferable.

The Stuff: This time the loot comes from my favorite thrift shop, non-sale day.  Prices here are relatively high for sheets and larger breakables.  Relatively low for small items.  They do not seem to charge more for *vintage*.  Here's what I walked out with this week:

~*~

 Chevron bedsheet

~*~

 pansy bath towel

~*~

 hand towel

~*~

 3 pillowcases

~*~

 Vera napkins

~*~

 More Vera napkins

~*~

 Large yellow enamelware Georges Briard pot

~*~

 These were all sold separately.  Japan donkey, Garfield small planter, box of curtain tieback pins, box of pink Gibson notecards, vintage Old Maid card game, handpainted diaper pin set

~*~

 This was sold together in one of those famous bags.  Yes, I DID buy it for the FOXY patch.

~*~

A dozen "woven" plastic napkin rings

~*~

There you have it, folks!  A nice haul of goodies if I do say so myself.  Let the game begin!

The Stuff: This week the loot comes from a charity shop for a local hospital. A very small thrift shop, run completely by volunteers. The prices here are on the higher end for vintage items of probable value, and on the ridiculously low end for small or "unknown" items.

Precious old sugared Easter egg- a good example of something I will keep because no one could ever love this more than me.

AMAZING vintage aqua blue dutch oven by Club

~*~

5 more vintage unused greeting cards to add to the growing collection!

~*~

Squeal!!! A perfect unmarked mixing bowl from the mysterious Pyrex "eyes" line

~*~

And lastly, a phenomenal 3 piece Pyrex set in "poinsettia". Wait til you see the lid on this one, too!

{An aside... does anyone know a trick for removing old candles from a metal stand such as this? I've tried the old freeze it trick to no avail.}

So, whether you have played every other Price is Right game, or you are a first time blog visitor, I welcome you to the fun! I can't wait to see who wins. See ya tomorrow for Makeover Monday!
