Belated Happy Memorial Day! Vintage Italian Find!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Memorial Day! Mine was awesome and spent mostly relaxing...but I am not sure how it went by so quickly? Seriously.  I will be honest, I spent most of the weekend on my couch watching movies with the kids, browsing the net or watching YouTube. My husband has a big presentation this week and had to do some extra work at the office so when he was home he(and I didn't argue) wanted to be home and spend time with the kids. Notice I actually made two confessions: one my laziness and the second was watching YouTube videos. I have four genre's, if you will, of YouTube videos I watch or get into. The funny videos, usually animal ones where the cat or dog are doing cute things with the kids. The next three are rather embarrassing to admit but I have to do with my love of thrifting. I love thrift videos where people share what they have found, just like the blogs or Thrift shares...but on video. That one is not really embarrassing, but I promise the next two are. :)

Deep Breath! I love watching metal detecting videos! 

There I said it, Phew. A couple blogs back I compared thrifting to finding Treasure and I think that is why I love watching them. They are actually finding treasure such as jewelry, old coins, relics, bottles, old pottery and much more. 

The last one...I think it is for another post. Nothing bad, just a little dorky.  :)

You might have noticed that I did not post to Thrift Share Monday at Apron Thrift Girl's blog and it wasn't just because of my laziness but that did play a part. LOL I did go thrifting at Goodwill but I did not find or buy anything and I was unable to make it to any Estate or Garage sales. I was going to list some items on eBay on Sunday and didn't even remember to do that...so I may list some items on Thursday as well as add items to my booths on Bonanza. 

My kids are still in school which is later than most schools here in Arizona and probably the reason I was lazy this weekend. I think everyone is a little run down and ready for the school year to be over.  They have only this week and until Wednesday of next week left but next week maybe the busy week of the school year. End of year parties for the grades, a Brownie party, recognition/moving to the next grade ceremonies, a going away party for a classmate and getting my son and husband packed and ready for Boy Scout camp. So I planned and started today mapping out and going thrifting the rest of the week and weekend.

So Jenn, you did mention something about Italian pottery today. I made it one of the many Goodwill's in my area. I purchased some vintage Little Golden Books that I plan on listing in a lot(remember the Pokey Little Puppy?), a vintage Cathy collectible mug from 1983, a 1978 unused Enesco Precious Moments collectible Mug, and finally some vintage Italian white porcelian coaster that are a set of 8 in the original box but no lid from the 60's or 70's. Found the exact same coasters on eBay that sold for $ 44! Awesome! After finding and selling The Far Side Mug for $16 I have been scouting the coffee mug section every where to find similar items. I hope the Cathy(the comic strip) and Precious Moments mugs sell well. 

I did sell a Big Buddha purse on Bonanza yesterday so that was exciting and hope to get more listed on eBay and Bonanza. I think I will wait to post the pictures of all items for the next Thrift Share so please check back. If I find anything exciting and wonderful, I will make another post before Monday...I can't wait to post and share my items. Please feel free to make comments, ask questions or share as well. I would love to have some feedback and I want to thank all that checked out my first share the past Monday as well as the many Bonanza friends that are following my blog. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Have a wonderful Thursday,

Jenn
