Sounds kind of disgusting now, but that's how it was in the 50's. Nowadays, I go to estate sales, auctions, garage sales, any kind of sales and in neighborhoods where one would rarely go. My husband always goes. He loves it as much as I do. Research is another valuable tool. If you read about things you like, learn how to tell authentic from repro, etc. , you will be able to pick much better stuff.Great advice!<br />★Linda★Linda ★ Parker's Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580449029112777882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779982861609770832.post-44075692951997791632011-02-23T20:29:06.356-08:002011-02-23T20:29:06.356-08:00I've been a Thrifter~Treasure Hunter~find a ba...I've been a Thrifter~Treasure Hunter~find a bargin all my life.

What is really sad is that whoever they have pricing has marked everything up WAY more than even the local antique stores would be selling it for! The prices are RIDICULOUS!Tanya https://www.blogger.com/profile/10949961269443532464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779982861609770832.post-79324581772528477042011-02-23T11:41:47.977-08:002011-02-23T11:41:47.977-08:00Thanks for all of the advice.

I appreciate...Oh RHONDA.. You lovely little picker!<br />I appreciate all this *WORTHY* info!..You are such a fun gal!.. I am smiley smiley with memories within your post..my sister and i fought over the same plastic phones..I felt it okay for Barbie to have a slightly larger phone in our doll house & she did not agree. She wanted to use both of our two key chains to make earrings...Barbies phone went missing everyday as my sister danced around with her telephone dangle earrings..UrGH! We would collect similar key chains to build a pull cord for our bedroom light.. Where oh where are those now :0) <br />Thanks so much for bringing light to some funny memories!<br />{{HUGS}}1890*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11120090777656022176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779982861609770832.post-67458194880100994752011-02-23T10:30:24.618-08:002011-02-23T10:30:24.618-08:00Would you like to sell some of those phone key cha...Would you like to sell some of those phone key chains.

Some weeks I might find that one sale by doing it that way and hit the motherload other weeks nothing I usually go 3-4 days in the summer since I set up at fleamarket.I have many picker friends and by always be gracious and friendly they are always fair in return.Warm Blessings!~AmyBumbleBeeLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605535783786407254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779982861609770832.post-82712875654471408542011-02-23T10:05:22.483-08:002011-02-23T10:05:22.483-08:00Rhonda~
