A Little Thriftin'

Few things please me more than having a quiet hour or so to browse around a thrift/antique shop. We have 4 or 5 right here in town so it is quite convenient for me to pop in when time avails. I have found myself picking up Nativities over the years, so I guess I would say I have a collection!

My mother had one similar to this that she always put a blue light through that hole in the back...



I loved this sleigh and reindeer, kind of that cutesy 50's look I think. Size wise I don't know that they go together~definitely be using some of that reindeer magic to pull THAT sleigh! But they were sold together!



I found some more goodies, but I'll save them for another day. It's quite cold here today so I think I'll snuggle down in front of the fire with a good book while the boys watch football!

Oh Bonnie, glad you are back.
Thrifting is always fun although I haven't been lately. My house is stuffed and I need 'naw-thing'. HA!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!

BTW-how was the movie? MB

Bon,
Glad to see that you had time to fit in a little thrifting. I went today. First time in a while. I don't think a person should go to long without thrifting, its not healthy.

Oh how nice! One of my favorite things is quiet time to treasure hunt. You found some really nice things. Love the way those little deer are standing.

Blessings,
