33 Times Folks Found Something So Weirdly Bizarre While Thrifting, They Couldn’t Leave Without It

When I first saw it, it was in 3 pieces. When I got it home (first pic) put it together but unfortunately someone cut the wires so I couldn't see its potential. And it was also slightly bent. I was able to straighten it out to the best of my ability.
I got a brilliant idea to see if a stick light would fit inside if I removed the old components. Sure enough Amazon has a great stick light that changes colors and does some other cool things. The light got here today and I was able to fit it inside. It runs the entire length, almost 5 feet tall!
It's large. It's wonderful and I bought it originally to fix and resell...but I'm keeping it. For a while anyway.

found this gem while thrifting at a local Goodwill. I often wonder why people decide to donate such beautiful items!
I know why people get rid of things! I was just shocked to find something like this.
The item is a Monsoon Marble Flower Plate, also known as a Pietra Dura art piece, featuring a floral design inlaid with semi-precious stones.*

Half the cat’s bow is chipped off, but I just couldn’t pass it up. Now I can add it with my collection of the turtle amber glass lamps.

I was elated to find the bottom middle one last week at my local value village and the top left two on Poshmark this week, after not finding any all of last year. My collection has doubled! These beauties were all painted by the same artist, David Emke. He sold them in farmers markets and craft fairs all around Ontario in the 70s and 80s.

I remember it on his desk like it was yesterday. I think it is Awesome and beautiful! Frederick md

Be kind in your comments. Not everyone knows everything. On one side it says to place the year over the month. The other side says red month for leap yrs.
