Treasures from the first thrifting trip...
Do you remember this magnetic pin the tail on the donkey and the magnetic castle set?
The poor boy is missing his arms but other then that it is all in amazing shape. And who could resist these wonderful vintage Christmas ornaments. Some were made in West Germany and the others in Poland. Our Christmas colours are red and gold but I have an idea for some of these beauties.
And on the next day these...
Even at $6.50 (for the bag) these Ostheimer's were a steal. The Pied Piper has had his foot repaired but that doesn't bother me. He will just be used for story time anyway. The ducks/geese and the rooster will find there way into the ever growing stash of wooden goodies from shops likeand many more wonderful shops on Etsy. I often see these Ostheimer toys on blogs and think they are so amazing. I was ecstatic to find them in a thrift store but in all honesty, the handmade ones are much more amazing!!!
We went to a few craft fairs as well and got a couple small items to start our Christmas gift giving. We'll be buying handmade or making most of our gifts this Christmas...how about you? Both girls got their faces painted by Sparkles the clown but could I get a decent picture of both of them...no way...
Since we had little sunshine during this trip we also checked out a new indoor playground and both girls had a blast! Here Aayla is plowing her way through the pillars.
Sierra learning to slide down the firemans pole as we wait for the ferry to go home. Bye Bye daddy, see you next Friday!
Oh, the money I could spend on wooden figurines! Those Ostheimers may not be handmade, but they're still quite the steal.
ReplyDeleteI agree...not only could...I have a bit of an addiction. Not sure if they are all more for the girls or for me :)
