A very happy TGIF to you all or as we say here TGIJJ!
That’s right…it is time for another episode of
  A Christmas edition!

I have to tell you that this time I was completely amazed!  Yes…he is on a $5 budget each week and this week was NO different…so when he came home with this stuff I was like WOW!!! See what you think!
 
The Jolly man was the first to greet me…
 
What a sweetie…he even plays music…needs a bit more cleaning up but will be picture perfect soon.  This piece is a foot tall!
A very HO HO HO!!!
 
6 fabulously vintage Holiday Pins…
snowmen and Santa were the stars…
  
all of them have been through many winters but still looking wonderful…

this little snowman has been around since 1971 and has never been worn…maybe his luck will change this year : )

Now for my favorite find and the most amazing price EVER!!!!
Who would not do a little dance when they see an original box of vintage fine glass Christmas balls…IN PINK!!!!!
 
All tucked in their little cubbies…

looking at me with all their vintage goodness…

in wonderful condition and some with the original hangers!

There will be hanging on the tree this weekend…going to keep these little pretties for myself…thought I could treat myself this time since all 12 (there are really 13 but I don’t like that number 🙂 cost JJ…ready…$.75…yes Seventy Five Cents!!!
I think timing is everything!  All the items Joe picked were 50% off!  He came home with 5 cents change!  A very good day of junkin indeed!

Junkin Joe Vintage & Thrifty Finds…Features and LINKY PARTY All WELCOME

TGIF to everyone!  Friday also means it is time for
Junkin Joe…

come on in and join the fun…we have fun finds…tons of features…and then it’s time to party…

let’s start with JJ’s finds this week!
 Budget:  $10.00
 Spent:  $9.97
I have to say it is fun giving him a budget and it also leads to some interesting things…he knows that I have “vignettes” in mind so he focused in that direction this week…
 obvious why he picked this little long dog…

 he’s a cutie…

 he doesn’t even need to be fed!  Another doxie is always welcome in our house so he can


lounge around like the others!
Now this little guy made me smile too…I LOVE the wonderful world of Beatrix Potter so when I saw…


these little stripped legs…


cute little eyes…


contemplating life and having another cream cracker…he is also numbered and an actual official Beatrix Potter collectible…number 739 out of 1000!  Cool find…maybe Peter will follow?




JJ thought that this would be a nice additive to a vintage vignette and I so agree…


worn down and ready to tell a million stories…


filled with what appears to be copper dust…not too sure what it is but it is very interesting and will be fun to use at some point soon!




It’s funny…this is the third one that JJ has brought home…



he just couldn’t pass this vintage beauty up!  Even though he has never had a martini in his life…but may be this time


he will try one…shaken not stirred!


Diverse lot right!

Now it is time to check out some features from last weeks party! So excited…the party grew last week… we went from 19 to 34…woooooohooooooooooo!   : )  It is a very niche party but we hope it keeps growing!
