Thrift Score! Vintage Christmas Collectibles

A new Thrift Shop opened in town last month, and I made a quick trip over there this morning. So glad I did - look what I found!! All these vintage Christmas lights were in one bag that had no price on them - I held my breath when I asked how much they were. The shop owner asked me what I would pay for them, and I jokingly said $1.00. They said OK, and I had to hold back from doing a happy dance right there! :)

P.S. Sorry if you are sick of seeing Christmas stuff already, but I had to share this find with you!

The first pic shows lots of old glass light bulbs - I have to dig out an old light string to test them, if I can find it. I think they have a C6 base, but not sure. Also in the bag is a cute little blue pinecone bird ornament.




Lookie!!!! More vintage Christmas lights in the shape of stars, and an old tree topper with multi-lights on it. There is even a crystal Matchless Star light too!




And a bunch of old Bubble Lights too, I love the purple one!



I am going out again later and hopefully will have some new goodies to share with you tomorrow, see you then!

Memorial Day Remembrance

Peace
by Amanda Bradley


Peace will come when people live
In friendship, side by side,
And cherish understanding
More than hatred, greed and pride.

Peace will come when people see
All people as the same,
And no one has to live in fear,
In ignorance, or shame.

Peace will come when people
Who are needy can reach out
For shelter, food, or love,
And no has to do without.

Peace will come when people
Learn to listen and to care
About the rights and dignity
Of people everywhere.

Peace will come when love and trust
And kindness know rebirth,
And on that day all people
Will rejoice in peace on earth.

Memorial Day
by C. W. Johnson



We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.

They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.

Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you've given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore.
