#25 Found This Gorgeous Vase At The Austintown Goodwill, In NE Ohio
I had looked at a few other items, but none of them passed the "do I love it enough to find a place for it?" test. Then this beauty was buried in the carts they just fill with stuff and park at the front of the store, price at just 4.50 As soon as I saw it, I knew it was coming home with me and I adore it so much!
I did some research about the marking on the bottom, and found that it is handmade by an artist named Victor Bucciarelli. He was a pottery artist in Sharon PA, known for his decorative vases with 3D floral or plant elements. Sadly, he passed away in 2015 at age 55. I hope he knows that this piece has found a home where it is truly appreciated for the beautiful work of art that it is.

#26 While Shopping At A Local Thrift Store, This Interesting Glass Piece Caught My Eye! 🤩
Google says it's an antique art glass bride's basket, likely from the Victorian era (1860s-1910s). It features a ruffled rim and a three-color design with custard yellow, red, and a translucent outer layer.
I think it was an AMAZING find!

#32 Picked Up This Weirdly Interesting Piece At My Local Savers (Value Village Here) Thrift Store
I balked a bit at the price, thinking it was probably an Amazon or Home Goods clone. Then I got home and saw the TMS 2005 engraved on it, pre-Jonthan Adler. Now all I need is a Medusa hair-type plant to make it come alive!
Only drawback - my husband finds it creepy.

#33 My Nan Passed Away Recently, And I Got These Cute Little Figurines From Her
I’m an actor so they’re just a perfect little trinket for me to remember my Nan and my passions!
We have no idea where Nan got them from or even why she had them, she wasn’t a big film buff or anything haha but I love them so much!
