Sometimes The Thrifts Provide The Necessities You Don't Even Know You Need. Well, Maybe Not NECESSITIES, But Certainly Useful And At A Fraction Of What These Cost New! Status: Utility Wares.

I picked up the fold flat dolly early this last spring, so it's been around a while.  The  modular aluminum camera case is a recent find...that I'm not really sure why I need it, but it was like $12.  Couldn't leave it behind!

Here's An Odd Lot That I Picked Up Last Weekend At The Estate Sale Just Up The Street. It's A Seven Piece Bar-B-Que Tool Set In Stainless Steel With Beautiful Hardwood Handles! Status: Available.

You know what this means...Yup! It's grillin' time!  If you're a serious griller ya gotta have the serious tools and if you're reading this blog, you probably want those tools to be as stylish as you are.  This is that set.

A Quick Hunt Through The Local Goodwill Saturday Yielded A Nice Collection Of Machine Age Style Goodies. Some Are Authentic, Some Not, But They All Got That "Look". Status: The Smalls.

If you've never kept a shop or antique mall booth, let me tell ya...it's the smalls that can keep you afloat most of the time.  These bits and pieces are what keeps the doors open...so to speak.  Some booths offer nothing but smalls.  Keeping the shelves full isn't always easy...but if you like the hunt like I like the hunt...well, that's half the fun!

Apparently, Lot's Of Items Found New Forever Homes Today Out Of Booth 307 At The Creve Coeur Antique Mall. No Worries, I'll Be By Sunday To Drop Off More...Including Some Artwork And Clocks From Dan's Joint! Status: Decking The Walls!

You might remember this original piece of art by home owner Dan from this posting a while back.  Yes, Dan painted this himself!  He's quite the Renaissance man.  I keep telling him that he should make more of these.  I'd be happy to place them on my walls whenever they're ready.  You'd like one, right?!

When You Buy A Lot Of Used Furniture You Have To Deal With A Lot Of Upholstery That Needs Attention. I Brought Home A Bissel Upright Cleaner A While Back But It Can Be Unwieldy. Enter The Little Green Machine! Status: Cheap Clean.

Not all goodwill finds are of a vintage nature.  Sometimes they're just things you need and are useful.  It's nice when they are things that'll help you WITH the other vintage thrift store finds!  This little hot water upholstery cleaner is just such a find...and it was pretty cheap.
