Countdown 'til Christmas ~ Day 10/Still Time for Thrifting

Even though this is a busy time of the year, it is still nice to find a few moments for thrifting. It was so cold here, Saturday. I believe it was in the mid 30's that morning, but still many vendors braved the cold to set up shop at the local flea market.

I browsed quickly, and found a few bargains. First up, the little hard plastic vintage deer was so tacky, he was cute! :) {$1.00} Tucked him into a Christmas vignette on top of a cabinet.

The crystal bowl below was a bit of a splurge by thrifting standards, $10.00. But it is rather heavy and large, ....and the pictures do not do it justice. It is a beautiful piece. The lady that sold it to me is one of my favorite vendors at the flea market. She is a super sweet person and always has great glassware, mostly older pieces.
I walked away from the angel below, once, and later circled back through for a second look. Just couldn't decide on her. She is a ceramic piece, made by someone named Kathy in '94. Ceramics remind me of my Grandma B., who loved painting them. When the seller said she was 50 cents, how could I resist?

Linking up to Second Time Around, at Diane's Blog, A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words!

Luke 2:10-14 (New International Version)
10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
