My thrift store treasures
Comments (6)What a nice selection of "stuff" you got from the TS! I think the yellow "thing" would make a great centerpiece for a table with seasonal decorations and a candle or you could put a birdnest inside with colorful eggs. The wooden posts would be great as holders for teacup and saucer feeders or small decorative birdhouses. The metal type black stakes could be painted bright colors and put in pots as decorative accents (butterflies) and the two with squiggly wire were probably meant to hold votives. Let us see what you do with them!!...See MoreTodays TS finds
Comments (11)Jane :: Yep, it was me that found the little pair of owls on another outing. I found this one and think he'll go neatly on the side cabinet to tie in the 2 smaller ones. You're right.. The little deer is destined for the Christmas tote. I thought he was adorable and have some larger ones bought years ago and I think he'll tuck in nicely with them. :-) I know it's waaay early, but my Christmas wheels are already turning. LOL Punk: Go forth and snoop. You won't find treasure if you don't go looking for it :). Magpie: You read my plans for the apple plates. A plan is in process :)....See MoreStore up your Treasure's in Heaven
Comments (5)jel48, you're very welcome. I don't post much on KT--usually just pop in to check the 'show me yours' threads. I searched for your other thread with the devastating news. I'm so sorry. We lost an infant son to a congenital defect 24 years ago, and went on to have another baby--a healthy girl. I'm a grandmother now (from our elder daughter), so I know the pain both you, and the young parents, are feeling. Please accept my sympathy and prayers....See MoreStore and restaurants you miss...
Comments (79)Interesting the impressions some have :-) There is a big difference between a department store......of which very few exist these days.....and large clothing stores. Nordstroms has never been a department store!! It started as a shoe store.....period! I remember shopping there in my late teenage years, as they were one of the few places around that sold Capezio shoes (which I loved and had a vast collection :-)) It wasn't until it combined with a woman's apparel store (Best's Apparel) that it became a clothing store, known as Nordstrom-Best and finally just Nordstroms. But it only sold shoes and clothes. That is NOT a department store!! Back in the day, Seattle had two, semi-upscale department stores - The Bon Marche and Frederick and Nelsons. The sold everything from soup to nuts....clothes, toys, furniture and antiques, appliances, kitchenware, fine china and crystal, linens, fine art, etc. And food.....both already prepared food, imported goods, a bakery and several restaurants. The Bon was acquired by Macy's in 2003 but still remains as the largest department store in the area. Frederick and Nelsons was even larger than The Bon and a step or two up in both quality and price. And F&N was where Frango's originated. F&N was acquired by Marshall Fields in 1929 but always operated under the F&N name. It was a huge store...12 storeys and occupied a full city block. It had multiple restaurants, a fantastic bakery, a candy kitchen (where Frangos and other candies were made), a post office, beauty salon, infirmary, a daycare facility and a reading room. It was known for its fabulous, animated Christmas windows and was where all the best Santa photos were taken :-) It was a Seattle institution! It closed with the demise of Marshall Fields in the early 90's. But that massive store is still there in the heart of downtown Seattle and is now the Nordstrom flagship store and corporate office....See Moreperen.all Zone 5a Ontario Canada
