I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Thrifty Thursday-Rhinestone buttons

01 Rhinestone buttons Yarnell AZ (1024x524)
On the way to get lumber for the steps Mike built we stopped at the Habitat for Humanity Thrift Store in Wickenburg, Arizona. I thought they might have some lumber. But instead I found bling.
02 Enamel on copper earrings from thrift store (1024x776)
Also bought a pair of copper enamel earrings, just because I like the art form.
03 Rhinestone buttons Yarnell AZ (1024x1002)
These rhinestone buttons are probably from the 50s. Not exactly sure. And I don’t even know what I’ll do with them, yet. But I like bling!
And I really like going to Thrift Stores, even just to look. How about you? Into shopping second hand and want to share some of your treasures? Karen at FabGrandma has posted Thrifty Thursday a couple times and I really like the idea. If you’re interested please share a link.

Great find a t the thrift shop. We always check them out when travelling and, not liking modern fashion designed for size6 teens, I often pick up something more suitable and quite often brand new. Two of my granddaughters recycle thrift shot clothes into designer items.

Let us know when you find a use for those buttons.

Love thrift stores and antique shops. But I like best to find them on off the road towns. I've been wanting to take a drive up to Wickenburg.

In the UK I have found some really good 'stuff' in the second hand shops, but I have yet to discover a second hand shop here in France!! Love those stones. Diane

Love me some bling, too! And those are fabulous. But I'm trying to stay away from thrift stores right now, I just decluttered and my will power is still weak. But I have found some cool things in the past. Hope to see something using those great buttons soon!

I love old bling like the rhinestone buttons. I'd have bought them too, just because, LOL! Hope you have a wonderful weekend. (BTW did you find Mike's lumber?) Hugs Jo

Oh, yes, I well remember the rhinestone bling. In the 50's rhinestones were a girl's best friend.

I'm not really into bling, but I do like browsing through stores like that.

I'd have to photograph most of my wardrobe and much of my personal stuff. I am a thrift-shop junkie...and I wish I'd known you liked these buttons when I went through my mother's stuff...oh...

Useful information. Fortunate me I discovered your website accidentally, and I'm shocked why this twist of fate didn't came about in advance! I bookmarked it.
