#5 Started Collecting Uranium Glass About 9 Months Ago From Local Thrift Stores And Antique Shops

64k I went a lil crazy with it, but I love it! I found LED black light strips on Amazon and taped them on the bottom of each shelf. I found some black velvet fabric and used 5 thumb tacks and draped it down the back, then cut pieces to fit over each shelf. So no damage to the cabinet at all.

#7 Suitcase Wall

I’ve collected suitcases all my life. I have found them at thrift stores and garage sales and sitting on the side of the road. I also have had friends donate them to me when they know I collect. My father was in the Air Force and my brother and I were born in Germany and the two burgundy trunks on the bottom row are the steamer trunks that brought us back from Europe to Canada on the steamship. My mother used to share a story how a nun saved me on the ship trying to crawl over the side! I think some may be interested in what I may keep inside. The labels do tell what’s inside of each. I store lots of things in them. I have a knitting suitcase, with yarn and knitting books, etc., I have photograph suitcases, (when we used to have photographs), I have a collection of plastic animals for when my grandchildren come over as well as many other suitcases with toys in them for my grandchildren, material, beads, a sewing/mending suitcase, a suitcase for screws, a suitcase with a drill in it… I could go on and on and on and on. It’s all pretty organized and getting more organized all the time as I sort through and give away lots of things that I don’t need anymore. One of the trunks is a Christmas trunk and one of the trunks stores my patio cushions from my patio furniture and another trunk stores my mother’s dress form and material and patterns for when I’m going to get to those projects. 115k

#8 I Kept Only A Few Things From My Late Parent's Estate, One Being The Amber Glass Cat Decanter

My cat tried to climb the corner shelf upon which it was displayed, and I watched in horror as the entire shelf and contents slowly tipped and crashed to the floor, destroying everything on it, including my beloved cat decanter. The only thing that survived was the cat head stopper. I've spent the last 6 months slowly replacing the broken items thanks to eBay, but I couldn't find the exact cat replacement. Most of the ones I found were like the green one, with a bigger head, wider neck, and the ears sticking out to the side and not straight up. I bought several off eBay, thinking they were the same as my broken one, but my heart always sank when I'd open the box. I ended up re-selling most of them, but I kept the green one because I thought it was pretty. Finally, I found a matching amber decanter with a "Buy It Now" price, and so I did. I'm so happy I found an identical decanter at a reasonable price! I've seen them advertised as both "Empoli" and "Empoli inspired", but I don't know which one is correct. 8.5k

#18 Sorry For The Long Post, It’s Not Really A Strange Find, But A Great Story I Feel This Group Will Appreciate

So I stopped at my local Goodwill on the way home from running errands the other day, it had been a while and I just wanted to see if there was anything that I absolutely had to have. The first thing I spot were these boots. They are so pretty and so very “me”, but I though “ugh, they’re probably pricier than is ideal”…nope! $6.99, then I thought “no way these are my size”…nope! Size 7! At this point I couldn’t resist, but had to look around the rest of the store, I couldn’t just get the first thing I saw! After looking around the rest of the store I found nothing else that made my soul as happy as these boots, so I made my way to pay for these bad boys. The cashier commented on how cool they were and ring them up, I put in my Goodwill “rewards” and the cashier told me that I could use my birthday month discount if I wanted to get 25% off, so I used it! It came out to $5.25, THEN they told me I also had a $5 off if I wanted to use *that* so, of course, I say sure! I ended up walking out with these lovely boots for a whopping $0.25!! Best Impromptu Goodwill trip! 36k

#28 Blue Teapot

I found this teapot at a secondhand shop a couple of years ago. I thought it was so beautiful that even though I knew deep down I would probably never use it, and even though I don’t typically like having knickknacks sitting around on shelves, I paid $50 for it and brought it home. The other day, on an impulse I decided to add it to a post I created in my neighborhood Facebook group to advertise some things I’m getting rid of in preparation for moving. I listed it for $20, hoping that price would deter anyone from buying it for use in a craft project, because as much as I support repurposing projects, I was really hoping to find someone who loved this teapot for what it was, same as I did. A few days later, someone offered me $10 for it. I said I would think about it. Then she explained that she would be willing to pay the full $20 that was asking if I could wait until her next paycheck, and that she wanted to gift it to someone in her life who collects teapots and had recently remarked that her collection was missing blue. I told her nevermind about the money, that she could just have it. Now instead of collecting dust on my shelf, this beautiful teapot will be used as an expression of love and go to a home where it will be treasured. And that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t been willing to let it go. 22k

He spent hours removing the old paint to restrain it and hung it in the entry way to my walk-in closet I will always LOVE this door not only because of its beauty, because of its “Why” 28k

#52 On Our 2nd Date With My Now Husband, He Noticed These Pictures On My Kitchen Wall

My mother had bought them when I was around 16 (1986) from a door to door salesman when we were living in North Pole, Alaska. I always loved them and she gave them to me about 15 years ago. I had no idea where this little fishing village was located or even if it was real. Turns out, this is the fishing village my husband would go on Holiday with his parents as a child and it was the last place he had taken his Mother to visit on Holiday before she passed. It is Polperro, England...from our 2nd date we knew we were meant to be together. 28k

#55 He Was The Runt Of The Litter 10 Years Ago

Bob is our 140lb German Shepherd. He was the runt of the litter 10 years ago, but once he started growing, Bob just didn't want to stop. He has this deep, gutteral, terrifying bark, and Bob is convinced his "job" is to lay at the end of the entry hall and watch the door. I've been wanting to get him something to lay on, the chaise lounge he had before was too big for that area, and the huge square Costco dog bed was a tripping hazard. So the other day I was coming home from work, and what is on the curb a block away? This sweet toddler bed with crib mattress! I ran inside, yelled "come now, before it disappears!" to my S.O. and we ran down the street to snag it. We carried it through the front door, and had not even made it down the hallway when the Gatekeeper appeared, took a flying leap through the air, and instantly claimed the bed. I guess it's a good thing it was meant for him... Pic 1 is his "please can I have it?!" look. No banana for scale, but one of Bob's ears is about the same size. Pic 2 is him working the door, watching... waiting... Good Boy, Bob. 27k

#58 My Dad Is, What I Would Consider, An Expert Craftsman. He Finds Everyday Items And Transforms Them Into True Works Of Art

There are always free pianos listed on Facebook and Craigslist. He has been collecting up the baby grands and turning them into bookshelves, desks, hanging coffee bars, etc. for myself, brother, and mom. This was his first piano and set and I am beside myself with happiness. He even installed lights and a power strip for electronics. The desk is the lid to this piano. It wasn't worth it to refurbish, so he donated all the extra parts and pieces to my old piano tuner. I consider this one of my greatest treasures. I just wanted to share my amazing pieces with you all. This seemed like the most appropriate place. 22k

#61 My Fiancé And I Went To An Antique Store In Lake Mills, Wi And I Came Across This Beautiful Needle Point

At first there were two other ladies in front of it discussing what items they were going to purchase, as there were some other fall decor next to this picture. I creepily stuck around and looked at the other great items near this picture and as they decided to purchase other things, I grabbed this so fast. My fiancé asked if we were really going to get this and I’m sure I gave him a wild expression. Of course we’re purchasing this! Come to find out, the owners of the store know the lady who made this. She’s 90 years old and her memory isn’t there anymore, but she’s made needlepoint art her whole life. Her name is Pat and I’m so happy I have this piece. (Also, I’m obsessed with Halloween and everything spooky, so this is just everything.) 20k

#75 I Was Scrolling Through An Estate Sale Listing Photos And A Painting Caught My Eye

29k I thought it resembled some art my great aunt used to paint. Long story short, I called the estate sale company and actually confirmed that it was painted by Vylitta Kirby, my great aunt. Not only did they have that painting but the owners loved her work so much they bought a total of FIVE of her pieces. She failed art classes in college and vowed to never paint again. It wasn’t until the late 50s that she started painting again. After retiring from teaching, she started showing at local art and craft shows. She took her show on the road with her sister in the 70s. From a farm in Arab, AL (the sticks), she was very proud that some of her work went to buyers in New York, California, and even Hawaii. I cannot believe I found five of her pieces in one home! My mom and I purchased all five and I cannot wait for 2-3 of them to find a new home on my walls.

#80 Remember The $150 Impulse Buy Claw Machine That I Won In An Online Auction For A Closed Pizza Hut? I Took The Hivemind's Advice And Loaded It Up For Tonight

87k - We might have had 75 kids total. Nobody left empty-handed. I still have a lot of bags and candy left over, but I planned on that; I didn't want anyone to be disappointed because we ran out. - My wife did the marquee. When she's not trying to talk sense into me about bidding on things in random auctions, she enjoys doing graphics and crafts with her Cricut. She's amazingly talented and creative, despite her terrible taste in men. - The machine isn't "rigged." This particular model is 100% skill based. You can adjust the claw tension, but it doesn't change between plays. Some models (specifically anything made by EClaw) are on a payout system where the owner can set an interval (usually at least 60 plays) between when the claw strength is 'meh' and when it jumps up to 'can actually grab things.' - No, that isn't a Fidel Castro plush up in front. It's a talking Duck Dynasty toy that came with the machine, because reasons. Nobody won it so I am going to keep it on my desk.

God bless!" he replied. It's nothing old or unusual, but I like the wooden bead work, and I think a higher power wanted me to have it, so there you go. On Fire Island, New York. 22k

#94 Please Read This Whole Post Before Commenting, And Then Consider Whether Or Not Your Comment Is Appropriate To Say To Someone That Is Grieving

I have been debating whether or not I was going to write a post about why the group was paused for the last two weeks. I have decided to go ahead and address it, but please know that this post was difficult for me to write. It is very personal and very emotional for me to discuss this, but I think it is important to share our story. I’m going to insert a content warning here to warn you that this post will contain a discussion of death, so if you don’t have the spoons available to deal with that, you may want to stop reading here. Two weeks ago our dad fell ill with a condition that is very treatable, but there were no spaces available in any of the local hospitals. They are all overflowing with Covid patients. Our family frantically called all of the hospitals in the state, and all surrounding states. It took two days before we were able to find an available bed. By that time our dad’s condition had turned critical. He spent two days being delirious and confused in the ICU and then passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Because of the hospital rules regarding Covid, in an effort to keep people safer, we were not allowed up to see him while he was alive. We did not get to spend sufficient time mourning at the bedside because we had to consider that the longer we spent there, the longer we were tying up the bed from someone else that might be saved by getting into it as soon as possible. I hope that is never a consideration that any of you have to make. My dad was a Navy veteran, a local business owner, a husband, brother, son, uncle, and friend to many. He always wore a mask while out in public, got his vaccine, and required masks be worn at his business. He cared about others and wanted to keep people safe. He was only 54 at the time of his passing. If you are someone who will not wear a mask, or get a vaccine, for any reason other than a legitimate medical reason, then leave this group. Even if you are not worried about getting sick yourself, your refusal to take the most basic precautions may result in the death of someone else’s loved one. If you ever make a comment here expressing a disagreement with mask wearing or vaccines, you will be permanently banned f
