** I'm being featured in the Vintage showcase on etsy on January 11th! Please stop by!**
I think that I'm finally hitting my stride when it comes to ferreting out the best local thrift and consignment shop locations. While there are a few places I'd love to hit - like the Savers on the VFW Parkway - I'm pretty happy with my current sources and am on the lookout for the next secret stash!
This week's share comes from the Central Square Goodwill in Cambridge, MA.
My first find this past week was a lovely GE Electric alarm clock. In need of a shine, she still works, and the alarm is just as shrill as the day it was first placed by a bed head:
Next, I found a *huge* stash of cake-topper numeral candles, "suitable for birthdays or anniversaries", per the package below. I'm only showing a small sample here; I found at least 20. Due to the miracle of fuzzy math, two Ziploc bags full were had for a song..
Finally, while not an homage to the 80's game show (anyone remember it, and who the host was? Please let me know!), the first thing that came to mind when I saw this pair of drinking glasses was "Jokers Wild":
Fabulous in double-walled plastic, and stamped "Made in Hong Kong" on the bottom, I'm thinking these will find their way into a game night at some derserving home.
Later this week I simply must make my way back to the Church Thrift Store - I love to see who's volunteering and get the latest news from the Retired and Fierce set!
