    Hi my names Ariel. I am an avid thrift store haunter. I've most recently begun trying to learn how to research and identify older things. I'm here to learn!

    Hi and WELCOME Ariel!!!! Oh, you will absolutely LOVE it here!!! Please note, we also have a lot of fun while exchanging and dissecting information!!!! When posting pictures, 1MB is the size limit, 10 pics per post, and when you upload the filed, the very top image lets you click to "post every image full size"....MUST DO!!!!! Piece of cake!!!!!!!!!! You also will find, most of the 'experts' here would like close ups, several angles, dimensions, and any other information you can provide about the object in question.....that should get you off to a great start!!!

    Welcome to the funny farm .... board. One guess where I was today - three thrifts. What did I find ... clothes.(LOL) But we live for the hunt.

    I went to the thrift near me today. I've been staying out of them lately.
    I only went in to ask if they wanted a good printer...then I was going to bolt out.
    Lo and behold the manager was saving a very cool Hawaiian shirt for me....
    So... I had to look around and spend $24!!!!!

    Well duh. I went back to mine to hunt jewelry today. They'd finally put out "the new stuff. The new jewelry jar was priced $35; I could see it being worth $10. It's still sitting there or was as of noon. Spent $6 on a sterling bracelet. The find of the day yesterday was ... ink cartridges. Mine sell for $13 each; I paid $4. On the downside, they were cheap because my closest Salvation Army is closing down and had everything on sale. Upside, I haven't found any real screaming bargains in that one in years anyway.

    I think it's beautiful and is a bedroom/boudoir water pitcher missing its bowl.

    My mom found it at an antique shop I'm not sure what she paid for it but I don't think it was very much because she always found great deals or the people just didn't know what they had I'm looking to find out what it's worth and more information about it.
