Omaha Ne Regret Pas

 While in Omaha over the holidays (yes, I'm very late on posting), we took our niece Jakaylee out for a little thrifting.  Since we were traveling by air, we really couldn't shop, but if I had been in an SUV I would have bought all of this (including the clown photo op above for Jessie) and more.  Most of it was at the New Life Thrift store in south Omaha where there are always a million wonderful things.  Thankfully, Jakaylee is a good shopper and appropriately amused by the things we are, such as...


Sweet dear, dear sweet...

...look out!

The BVM with the super powers, that I love.

"Hey girl, hey."
I already have one of these warmers, but honesty nothing would have stopped me from buying a second one.
Peculiar and sad, like an idea for a short story.
Partytime!  Glasses in the original, fantastic box.  You know I love an original box...

Matching cookie jar and biscuit barrel I desperately wanted to buy.
Lovely blue stemware...
....or green stemmed goblets?  Both, please.

She was chipped, or I definitely would have wrapped her up and stolen her away to live with my other lovely Quan Yins.  And what did I buy?


This charming little Buddha, which wasn't chipped...and made it home in one piece.

...and these little melamine bread and butter plates (unbreakable) which match a set of eight I bought in Lindborg, KS many years ago.  

Later during the trip we were in Austin, where we ran into the cookie jar again.  It was just as difficult to pass on it a second time.  Sadness, but I know we will meet again and when we do I will place you atop the giant pile of fabulous finds in my limitless horse trailer of thrift!
