thrift store finds

a few pictures of my latest thrift store scores...all unique and ALL under $2.

how could i resist?

 can you believe the great detail in this vase? it is a heavy little bugger too.

i almost feel like a genie might pop out if is rub it hard enough...

 i literally squealed (very quietly, though. i am not a total weirdo.) when i spotted this

 little handmade beauty. isn't is great?

this little ceramic guy will probably get a coat of spray paint when i finally decide where i 

want to put him.

i love how quirky and cool he his. and fierce. he is, after all, a LION.

 another pottery find. i love that someone MADE this. with their hands. (kinda hard to  find that kind of accessory at a big box store...)

a cute little brass apple. (it looks great on top of a stack of books.)

i don't go to thrift store as much as i used to. my husband has banned me (lovingly) from buying any more frames and lamps from thrift stores. i have several boxes FULL in my garage...

however, i am always on the lookout for unique and quirky accessories to adorn my bookcases.

have you found any treasures at theft stores lately?

do tell....
