As we enter into this season of thrifting and yard sales, I would like to visualize the finds I'd like to make. Think it. Focus. Search. Score!
I found one of these at a yard sale. It doesn't work 100%, it needs a new ribbon and a few letters don't print, but it's so pretty, I had to have it anyway

Looking for hinged metal tins, Altoids, or blanks, for crafting with, especially mini ones!

Rowena Murillo awesome. I just found a whole basket of miniature paperclay things I made. Little dolls, houses, birdsnests... I've never known what to do with them... I think they need homes! altoid tin homes.
Megan Thompson I made these little tool boxes for all the men in our extended family last year for fathers day: http://alphamom.com/family-... I was buying some brown glass bottles in bulk for sifting homemade vanilla beans...found the plain altoid shaped containers on same site for 48 cents each. Since I needed close to 20 altoid tins and had only found 2-3...i decided to buy some (esp since I was completely spray painting them). Good buy, cheap, high quality, shipped fast without incident. http://www.specialtybottle....
Rowena Murillo Is that you? Those are so gobsmacking cute! I've seen them all over the place. And that's a great source for tins. Thanks.
Dawn Pefley My father, for some unknown reason, collected altoids and other mint tins like this (I even have Prince Albert in a can! and yes, he can breathe just fine in there! LOL).
Carolyn Rooks I spray paint these and use them for gift card boxes.
Arm chair ♥.

Kelly Conaway Would love to find one of these chairs very inexpensively! When you're looking, you can never find it!
Rowena Murillo That is very true. When you don't want one they're all over, as soon as you want one, zippo.
blankets... never too early to start thinking about the cold times.

Rowena Murillo I found great new white porcelain mugs-- 16oz for $3 each. Now all I have to do is to get the porcelain pen, decide on designs, and draw.
everything here is on my list for yard saling

Squirrelgrrrl I have one in my basement. It needs a little attention on the spring and new casters. U can have it.
Squirrelgrrrl *no arms, though.
Long long shot. In all my years of thrifting I've seen one of these ONCE. And I didn't get it.
