Description

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-A true collector

My dear friend Berta is a second-hand shopper extraordinaire.  Last week I shared a few views of her yard and promised I’d tour the inside of her house as well.
01 Blue, red & purple glass over sink Berta's house Yarnell AZ phone (1024x543)
Berta likes color and glass.  And what better way to show both off but in a window.  This colorful collection sits above the kitchen sink.
02 Fireplace & stuff Berta's house Yarnell AZ phone (577x1024)
The fireplace was closed off years ago (I like the multi-colored brick).  I think everything in this shot was bought at a thrift store or yard sale.
03 Ladies corner Berta's house Yarnell AZ phone (1024x609)
I call this the “ladies corner” and the only thing purchased new is the window frame with dried flowers bought at a craft show.
04 Bird cage display Berta's house Yarnell AZ phone (577x1024)
Berta can tell you exactly where each wonderful treasure came from, even where the yard sale was.
05 Reflective corner Berta's house Yarnell AZ phone (561x1024)
And I just love how she displays her treasures.
06 Blue bathroom window Berta's house Yarnell AZ phone (577x1024)
Even her bathroom window is delightful.

I sure hope to get out to do some thrift shopping soon.  What treasures have you discovered?  Join in by linking below.

My dear friend Berta is recovering from a shoulder replacement.  So if you notice any dust, please know we call it “velvet,” and live with it.

Thrifty Thursday-Time to gussy up

01 Outfit at Yavapai Humane Society Thrift Shop in Prescott AZ (768x1024)
Returning this week to Yavapai Humane Society Thrift Shop I found some really nice clothes. I liked this outfit a lot, but have vowed not to buy skirts without pockets.
02 Clothes from Yavapai Humane Society Thrift Shop in Prescott AZ collage (1024x897)
Instead I found some nice tops, a dress and a pair of beaded barrettes, all for under $20. And all in my favorite colors.
03 St Vincent DePaul Thrift Store in Prescott AZ (1024x768)
Next stop, St Vincent DePaul Thrift Store, also in Prescott.
04 Ford Country Sedan wagon at St Vincent DePaul Thrift Store in Prescott AZ (1024x752)
I found what I really wanted in the parking lot. Well, not really, but I was intrigued enough to take this photo. Guess it belongs to an employee. What a perfect car to drive to (probably) volunteer at the thrift store.
05 Jewelry from St Vincent DePaul Thrift Store in Prescott AZ (1024x679)
I bought these two 1950s sterling silver bracelets, one with a matching ring. May have paid a bit too much for these, but then I always call silver jewelry my retirement. Can’t imagine it dropping in value.
06 Gypsy DVD $4 from St Vincent DePaul Thrift Shop in Prescott AZ (768x1024)
Plus I bought this DVD. One of my many favorite musicals.

What kinds of deals have you run into recently? Hope you’ll consider sharing your treasures by linking in below.

A toast to Thrifty Thursday

01 Pretty glass from thrift store (768x1024)
I don’t drink alcohol very often yet occasionally enjoy a little sipping liquor, especially in a pretty glass.  I bought a pair of these delightful cut glass with gold trim at Habitat for Humanity.

Cheers!

ThriftyThursday-A new outfit

01 New outfit from Soroptimist Thrift Store in Wickenburg AZ (768x1024)
Getting a new out fit usually lifts a gals spirits and especially if it doesn't hurt your pocketbook because you shopped at a thrift store instead...
