It’s Friday…that can only mean one thing…it’s time to party with
He has some finds to share with you and then we can’t wait to see what you will be bringing to the party!
Let’s see what JJ has…then check out some features from last weeks party…then we will let the new party begin!
Joe’s Budget this week…
$10.00
Assignment…mix it up and that he did…let’s check it out…
I guess we don’t have to wait till the cows come home…
we now have a very vintage bell…
so we can guide them home…does it work on dachshunds????
One of my requests was if he could find any “kitchen” vintage…I guess his ears “perked” up and actually listened : )…
I don’t think it will be replacing the Keurig but it sure has charm…
and it surely made many a cups of coffee in it’s day…check that out…question vintage lovers (Kelly…especially you)…should I scrub it or leave it????
Remember the Microscope JJ found about a month back? Well this was at the same place and he felt as though he needed to get this piece in case…it turns out it is an accessory to that scope…
I am sure we won’t be using it for it’s original purpose but…
it sure is cool and I have an idea for a vintage vignette that I will share with you when completed : ) Don’t you wish these things could talk…can you imagine the stories they would tell!
Ho Ho Ho!!!!
Santa is working hard and is in really good shape for the upcoming season…
and he plays…”Here Comes Santa Claus” and it is crystal clear…made in Germany and yes…he is vintage…yeah! : ) Nice find JJ!
So…how did he do with his budget???

Of course you shouldn’t clean up that coffee pot – leave it in all it’s scratched glory! It would make an amazing vase – tell Junkin Joe to bring you some flowers stat!

Robin @ Happily Home, After says
Andrea,
You and all the other clever thrift’ers are rubbing off on me … can you believe I made my first thrift and consignment store purchases recently!? I’m truly inspired by the finds you share and how they are incorporated into your home. I love forward to participating in the thrift / vintage finds party soon 🙂 I ditto the coffee pot love and agree that it needs some lovely flowers. Have a great weekend. Now I have to check out how to convert my plate rack into a wire bowled fruit stand … genius. Robin

Way to go, Joe! How about that cow bell, I’m loving it and the Santa. You are one amazing man with a $10 bill! Well, I linked up my thrifty blog post that includes some awesome Jim Shore finds – thanks for hostessing! Hugs ~ Mary
Artsy VaVa says
I love that Santa!!! Thanks for hosting the party. I’m thrilled to be one of the “flashbacks!”
Melanie says
I agree with Kelly, use it as a vase. I have a pink one and it lives in my garden and the fairies drink out of it……
The rust is part of the character. I am also loving the cow bell…..mooooooooo
Nice finds Joe !

Your post made me think of “We’re Gonna Party till the Cows Come Home” by Elvin Bishop. One of my favorite songs. 🙂 I love that little Santa music box. What great finds. Thank you so much for featuring my chicken wire stand. I’ve been down with a cold so am a bit late to this week’s party and just saw it. Whoot whoot!!
