Second Hand Stores

I'm starting to enjoy second hand store shopping... We have a great one in our new town...and I see what others get...so I do go once in awhile (and have found some nice things:). When we moved last time...we really downsized all our 'stuff'.... Our popcorn making was getting old, the top was cracked. So we got rid of it! Plus... I think you can make real good popcorn in a pan!.... Hubby is the real popcorn eater and maker...he was not impressed with the 'pan' popcorn...and craves his popcorn!

So one day we stopped in at the second hand store...

 Found this... it was clean... it 'worked' from what we could tell, and it was $2.00....

 Yes it made popcorn!!

 Hubby is happy!!... His favourite movie and game snack is easy for him to make!!

It's was a win ...win.... (I won the game:)!!

Swap Meet

The Swap Meet in Yuma is a bit different than the Markets...
A lot of 'second hand STUFF'....

Hubby is in his GLORY!!

I wandered around and did find...exactly what I was looking for!!

Baskets for our new bikes.... They were less that half the price of the new ones...and I got two...one for each of us! Best find so far in Yuma!!

Antique Stores and such....

Everyone once in awhile we find ourselves visiting antique and second hand stores. 

Hubby looks for old tools and I just look. 

A few things I picked up....

Cost $40.00

Sometimes I find something I think I can't live without... 

This tin picnic basket was one of those things... I love the look...

but even after hubby bartered...we probably paid too much...

Bought in Peachland B.C.

Cost $8.00 

This butter dish I found, I love depression dishes.

Now we don't have butter in the squares that fit in it...so it was hard to use unless I cut my butter to fit. 

The past couple years we have found ourselves visiting the US a couple times a year, so now I stock up with US butter and use this dish constantly. Found in Leavensworth WA.

Cost $15.00

I found these three jars...that matched my butter dish. So I had to have them! 

 (found them in Helena MT)

Cost $35.00

In Oacoma, South Dakota I found these trays...I had a hard time deciding on them...but they have been a great buy. They fold flat and fit perfectly in our RV. The great debate is...keep them 'old' or repaint them..?

I was out for my morning walk, past the second hand store and saw these chairs in the window...they looked like metal antique chairs...and the price was right... 

I thought they would go good with my metal trays...

Cost $4.00 each

I went into the store and said I will take those two chairs in the window... 

When I got them...they were plastic...and from....IKEA...hmmm well the price was right and they may not be antiques...but we do use them!

 Do you enjoy shopping for antiques or second hand things?
