I love a trip to the thrift store...and I really love it when I find an unexpected surprise!
Like this one....an Electricity Kit for $2.99. I'm not sure why I grabbed it off the shelf...maybe because it looked old and interesting!!
It looked even more interesting when I saw the top of the box. I saw the word "ornaments"!!
Woo Hoo! Vintage ornaments??? Maybe!
I peeked in the box and saw some shiny metallic and some poinsettia printed paper.
Then I closed it back up and put in my cart. Yep...I pretty much bought it sight unseen.
When I got home and opened it...well, let's just say it was worth it!
Have a look at all my wonderful treasures.
Pretty ornaments and this really lovely piece of Christmas gift wrap. I love vintage Christmas things. They're hard to find, so it's really special when I do. I'll use some of them in my Christmas decorating...but most will be used in my Christmas creating.
Remember...never judge a "box" by it's cover...there might be vintage treasure inside!

what a great find. Nice surprise in that box. Those mostly look like hand made ones too
That box is so vintage and cool too! For $2.99 I would've bought it too! The vintage Christmas tidbits are just the icing on the cake!
