Thrifty Tuesday

Finally!  Holy crap, I for sure thought the thrifts were going to disappoint me again but thankfully I was wrong.
These ornaments screamed my name, which is good because I walked past them twice before I picked them up!  My head wasn't in the game I guess.  I'm thinking they are Polish because one of them has Poland engraved on the metal part, and the boxes have made in Poland stamped on them (but we all know that ornaments tend to jump boxes when you are putting them away, so who knows).  Does anyone know more about them?  Spread that hard earned knowledge around guys!

This is the first large lot that I have found that aren't the ordinary bulb shape like I found here.







There are quit a few of this type to, with the dainty little flowers.  Some of these look like they could be mercury glass, but I'm not sure.

These Shiny Brites are freakin awesome!  It's a full package with no damage to the ornaments.  I love, love, love the kissing snowman and snowlady.


Now that I have a buttload of vintage ornaments, I think that I am ready to put them up for sale in the booth.  We have a cool silver tree that these will look spectacular on.  Now I just have to get all of them priced.  That seems to be the part I dislike the most. I seriously have to force myself to sit down to enter items into my spreadsheet and then write price tags. Is it the same for anyone else?

I'm going to head over to Sir Thrift A Lot for Thriftasaurus Thrift Haul Link up and then over to It's A Very Cherry World for Rednesday.  It has been a while since I have been able to join up with these guys, so I'm super excited.  I'll also be joining A Living Space for Nifty Thrifty.  Have a great week everyone!

  5. Walked past them twice??? I would have snatched them up fast! The indented ones are my favorites because they are the type I remember from my childhood.

    I don't have a booth yet but when I do, I know pricing will be a bit tricky for me, too. ♥

  6. Ooh, way to go!!! Awesome score. The American made ornaments have the larger necks, the Polish and Japanese made have the skinnier necks. Also you see more handpainting on the Polish ornaments--American made look stamped, where the image is all perfect. I love the ones you found with the ball at the bottom. Nice pickup!

  9. You really scored big! I want them all! So I guess I would have a hard time selling them too! I been thinking about a booth in my future! You could make one of the trees that are small coves covered in bulbs, or a wreath, that would be so pretty!
    Blessings,

  13. Melissa - I am just catching up with you! Looks like you got good answers already, but those gorgeous ornaments were made in Poland - they all have a really similar look with the color and handpainting - just great! I've never seen those Shiny Brites before!
