Had some fun at the thrift shop yesterday

My husband has an interest in early American history. Early last year I found this lamp of a Minute Man at the thrift shop. It even had it's shade. And then yesterday I found this plate showing three men playing a game perhaps in a tavern's private room. At the bottom it's inscribed "A Critical Moment". Neither is very old and they have their chips. But I love 'em.



I haven't been thrifting in some time and heard "the call" yesterday. I also found two bags of vintage rickrack, sewing trims and a bag of older 100% wool yarns still in their wrappers. Also three wool sweaters, 2 soft yellow and one multi lavenders. Those I'll put in the washer to make felt for crafting. Nice to find lighter colors for a change.

Also a set of 8 coffee mugs that are pretty cool. They're on the heavy side, a good size - chocolate brown on the outside/black on the inside. Hubby has broken some cups lately. He was banished from using any hand crafted mugs. These thrifted ones can can bumped off his desk and I don't care. We'll have plenty of replacements. He's happy to be out of the doghouse and so am I. Peace reigns in the valley! :D
