Fonda's Fabulous Funday Finds #8

This is my fabulous finds NUMBER EIGHT. Fonda fun fact: Eight is my favorite number. I don't know why exactly. It could be that it's the number of the earliest house I remember. 8 Summit Court. It was a short street with a cul-de-sac — back then, they called them courts. There were probably less than 10 houses, from what I can remember. From that house, I went to preschool, kindergarten, first and part of second grade. 8. It's also the lowest house number I've ever had. 8. It's a round-y number. 8. It's my birth month. August. Those are all good reasons to claim 8 as my favorite number.

Now...on with the finds...

All of these were found at my friendly neighborhood Family Thrift. These were from the first trip:

Hat, book, glass shaker, picture, glass serving dish and V-shaped embellishments.

Close-up of the Kokopelli earrings.

Black wooden box - closed.

Open. It's a jewelry box!

 

Planter.

This is from the second trip:

Tinsel garland, half-shade night light and Katie's books.

 And, these are from the third trip:

This shows everything: books, coffee, tinsel garland, white ribbon, leather tri-fold wallet, leaf-shaped serving tray, ceramic gelatin mold, bag of Christmas-y stuff that I purchased for the star.

Here are some close-ups:

Mostly children's books.

New tinsel garland, white ribbon and tri-fold wallet.

Leaves serving tray that feels like wood, but Katie says it's plastic.

Either it's a gelatin mold or something purely decorative to hang on the wall.

I bought this for the star on top.

Fonda's Fabulous Funday Finds #5

When Katie and I go to Southport (NC), we make a day of it and visit as much as we can before our day is done. Downtown Southport probably has about 4 thrift/vintage/antique stores. One is a mall with a second floor. Southport has plenty more places, but what I am talking about is close to the water. Southport was where Safe Haven was filmed. Nicholas Sparks wrote the book. Maybe you are familiar with it.

Anyway, here's what we found at the Dosher Hospital thrift store:

The big round thing is a cat toy. 

Ribbon

 Since I sew, these two bolts of ribbon might come in handy.

I thought this was the cutest game. The dogs are so sweet. It's a German game, I think. I guess it's played like dominoes.

Envelopes

These are textured silver envelopes. I make cards, so these will be useful.

The next items are from the Northrup Mall:

Northrup Mall

We only purchased these five items, but it was fun to see what was in the other booths.

Trading Stamps

These are old trading stamps given out at the A&P. I'll use them in my art.

Fat Quarters

We could have brought more fabric home, but we have plenty!!!

Metal Collapsible Ruler

This folding metal ruler will become a piece of decor. What is it that makes me love them?

This is the only thing we found at the Timeless Treasures:

Needle Punch

I have dreams of making a rug, and this needle punch will help me accomplish that.

It's fun seeing, finding and purchasing different stuff.
