Junkin Joe Vintage & Thrifty Finds… Features and a Linky Party!

 It’s Friday…so it must be time for Junkin Joe…

well many of you replied when I asked if your local thrift shops and Good Wills were getting a bit pricey…seems to be an epidemic around the whole country!  Let’s hope that the upcoming garage sale season yields some precious finds at a reasonable price.  Joe was complaining a bit this week too but was able to find 2 things and spend only $3.00.  Like I have told you before…he never really wants to come home empty handed and not have something to show you.
So let’s take a peek and then it will be time to party!
 Tick tock…

hand painted detail…

shining…

 it’s an anniversary clock and German made…vintage…

 

the crazy thing is…it works…now get this…this is what I don’t understand…it was priced at $5.00? and it was 1/2 price this week??? You see…you NEVER KNOW!
Joe simply can’t pass up a hummingbird…
 I am not exactly a crystal person…

 but a hummingbird always makes me smile…
 so she has a new home and just might become
a Christmas ornament with a touch of creativity!
 Hummingbirds will always touch my heart…and yes…it was $.50!
 So there you have it…slim but decent and I am still scratching my head about the clock?  Joe said that there was a pyrex mixing bowl there and they wanted $18.00??? confusing huh?
Would love to hear about your experiences so keep sharing!
I think you are going to have fun with next weeks Junkin Joe…you are going to have a few laughs…that is all I am going to tell you!
 Now for a few features!
Well here is a bit of vintage that is celebrating the coming of Spring!
shows us what a little touch of creativity can do!
  
Mirror Mirror on the wall…this lucky lady got a great HAUL!
 
Oh an Shabby Story found an old crate that is fabulous but now it is even MORE fabulous after Lynn gave it a special touch!

  
had a MUCH better deal on Pyrex that JJ!!! : )
has a hidden treasure!
For a touch of Spring…you have to try making these…the are fabulous!
Now…I am ready to do the pinboards next week…so could I ask you pretty please to put a pin button on one of your pictures so I can go to your site and snatch it up so it goes directly to YOU! I have a new feature on my blog that automatically puts a pin button on everything but I am do not use it for linky pins because I want it to go straight to you!  So if you could do that for me…that would rock and you will be on a pin board each and every week : )
Happy THRIFTING to you all …
Joe and I want you to know how much we love and enjoy you each and every week!
(((((HUGS)))))
Let’s Party…

    Andrea, thank you so much for keeping me in the game with the Pin It button exercise! I have gone in and gotten that all organized, so my images should be ready to go for you 🙂 Thank you again for featuring my treasures – you are such a sweetheart… I love your finds for this week – they were just perfect for the Valentine’s Day – I hope you had a really special day! I am so happy to be back in action with Junkin Joe, and am headed over to link up a very cool find!

    I hope you’ve had a great weekend my friend 🙂

Junkin Joe Vintage & Thrifty Finds, Features and a LINKY Party

TGIF! or TGIIJJ!!! (Thank Goodness it’s Junkin Joe) 
one way or another…enjoy and have fun!
So…come on in and join the party…but first

let’s check out Junkin Joe’s finds…then enjoy some features with a party at the end!!!
Budget:  $5.00
Spent:  $5.00 including tax!
Doesn’t look like a lot but…
      
this pretty little lady came in all dusty…dirty and yucky…
but once the hot soapy water was drawn…
and all the little nooks and crannies were scrubbed…
this lovely lady was like a superstar with the spotlight on her!
She is amazing!
Then this little guy came out of the box…
he came with a friend…
this stately horse was prancing…
  
I do believe he is just calming down...
  
after winning his race to be featured on Junkin Joe!!!
 (even though i live in Jersey…I am not one for animal races…I know…I am spoiling the moment…so I pretend with my own scenario!) JJ just couldn’t leave him at the thrift store stables!
Neither of these had prices on them…so Joe asked the man…how much…he said give me a flat $5.00 for both…weird right…right on BUDGET!
Now let’s check out some of YOUR finds from last week!

    That jockey was only racing because he heard that Joe was coming to get him and he didn’t want to be late ! and can you really blame him, he has found a great home. Pop a few little rosebuds into his basket and he’ll be a perfect delivery man for my florist store one day 😉
    Loooove the crystal basket, it would be perfect for a bunch of spring bulbs xoxoxo

    Thank you for featuring my typewriter and ladder finds from last week. Love that crystal bowl JJ found. The horse and rider are called pacers. The horse pulls the rider around the track on a lightweight cart (no basket on the real ones!). They used to train here and our local college has the pacer as their mascot. This would be highly collectible in this area! Thank you for gathering another host of fellow junkers together. So much fun!

TGIF to you all and that also means one more thing…it’s time for the next episode of Junkin Joe…the features and the

crazed and cackled crackled these little blue roosters came home…

not sure what it is…there is a center and JJ thought you would put a votive candle in the center…we look to all of our experts out there for some info??? : )
cool design…
pretty slim…
nice condition…

and it works…I don’t think it is a good idea to light the grill with this do you?  it would be like me to try that …but we are adding this to JJ’s little collection of vintage lighters that may see a candle or two!


ok my lovers of PINK…followers of fancy…sultans of shabby chic and sips of tea…he finally found something once again for you…

As if the tea cups weren’t enough…this time he managed to grab a few more pretties…

    Blowing you a kiss and patting Joe on the back for his shabby chic finds. Those tea cups have really interesting handles (I love a good handle on my teacups !).
    I love the lighter too and am impressed that Junkin Joe has a collection of his own. Maybe he can share his collection of vintage lighters with us. Lets see what Joe’s style is !

    He got all that for $10, wow! I love the trio of roosters! I can imagine using it a few different ways! Candle holder makes sense. That is an amazingly detailed lighter, and love all the delicate china! You are so cute putting everyone up as a feature. But they all are wonderful, too! Thanks for the party today. Can’t wait!
    Blessings,
    Susie

    Andrea, thank you so much for featuring my vintage shortening bin! I’m still no further ahead in the mystery of its history, but you never know when a few details might surface! And thank you for doing the hard work of hosting the linky parties! xo

    By the time I catch up on my blog reading at the end of the weekend I have forgot what I linked and where the week before so it’s always a thrill to be reading along and spy some project I know intimately. Thank you for featuring the little chest and I see I am in VERY good company. It’s still looking for just the right spot at my house.
