Thrift Share Monday

Phew! I am glad last week is over and we start anew today on Summer Vacation!!! Last week was filled with end of the year parties, going away parties, and getting my son and husband ready for Boy Scout camp. Don't get me wrong, it was a good fun week and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to have some one on one time with my daughter. Ready to take all activities down a notch, sleep in(didn't today), and finally get caught up with my listing. My daughter seems eager to help and I will be happy to see if we can list some of their toys that they have outgrown.

Only made it to one thrift store this week and no other sales. But what what I found at the thrift store maybe or maybe not a nice find depending on how they sell. About a month or so ago I found a still in the box vintage Avon Bottle of perfume and it was a lovely milk glass owl. I knew some people collected Avon bottles and Owls are in but it just did OK at auction. However, it sold and I knew there was a market. So Saturday I was able to stop by Goodwill for a little bit and there were bags and bags of vintage Avon Men Cologne bottles many still in their original boxes. There were ones shaped like trains, cars, a pipe, a stag and then what looks like a whole chess set(rooks, knights, bishops and such) and those are the ones still in the boxes. A complete set along with the board(I do not have the chess board) sold for over $70...I do not believe I have a complete set but have a nice starting point for anyone. We will see as I need to do some cleanup as they are a little dusty...

So, without further ado...

The chess pieces, almost complete missing 2 knights

The other bottles, a little dusty

Hope everyone had a great weekend and can't wait to see everyone else's wonderful finds!
