    3RD watch through. Going out this weekend Thrifting. Work full time so weekends are time my friends and I head out for 4 hrs of antiques, vintage, and unique finds! I've found loads of items since moving here. Some are for my new house, some not. Unique , quirky house. So trying to find the vibe for this house. Flower frogs are on my hunt list. Vintage loons, wolves, bear and elk figurines on list too. Homer Loughlin!! love those platters. I like that lamp shade.

    I loved the first set of flowered plates you looked at…don’t need anymore plates. I love thrifting with you. Our daffodils are up in our part of WV. My dad always said everything will be good in the Spring. One of our favorite estate sale guys is having an estate sale.. we go in Saturdays and can not wait to go. If you are a regular customer they do better than fifty percent off on the last day. Melissa , I don’t need anything, but think I will thrift as long as I can. My siblings are minimalists..they don’t get it. Great deal on the HL platters. Take care..enjoy the upcoming weekend ❤❤❤❤😊

      My daffodils have popped up too. I can’t wait to bring them in the house this week! 🥰 that’s so neat about the estate sale. I just recently download an estate sale app so I’m hoping to find some good sales to visit soon! Have a great day!

    I love some of items in Sweeten Creek Antique Store, love the delft blue, as my ex husband was Dutch and we had a lot of it in our home.
    I love the white platters…. so pretty with the scalloped edges ( what a deal!!). Have a great day❤

    What a great store, I would love to browse around it. I have about 15 glass flower frogs, various colors and 3 metal(harder to find here) and I have only ever had to pay $1 or $2 for them, the metal ones I paid $3 each and use them to display my old 1900's postcards. Glad you had time for family, until the next one, take care

    • @Melissa.Ringstaff
      @Melissa.Ringstaff  3 місяці тому

    You might would like a little town close to me if you come through NC again.
    Cameron NC. They usually have an antique fair the first week in May with 250 vendors.
    Cameron Spring Antiques Fair. It is a street full of different buildings full of treasures. This year it is May 3rd & 4th. It’s voted as the best antiquing area.
    Don’t miss eating at Dewberry Deli 485 Carthage street, Cameron, NC. If you happen to visit.

It’s a beautiful little city! So much to do. Oh and the farmers market!! I love it. Where abouts in NC are you? Any good antique shops near where you live?

    I realize this is a resale curated vendors place but honestly some of the prices are not competitive. Must be locale related. Loved the little blue swan but 18 dollars wow.

      @Melissa.Ringstaff  3 місяці тому

      Asheville is definitely on the pricier side I’ve noticed over the years - but you can still find good deals. Just have to really look! That blue swan was so pretty - but yeah I wouldn’t pay $18 for it!!
