What to do? I am in a thrift that I rarely go to. First because I don't get near it very often and secondly as it is not in my favorite part of town.
The Heller I posted was there, easy pick it up and buy. But what do you do when you find two (2!!) Stelton Cylinda ice buckets but NO lids. ($4)
V collects this line. Sean collects this line. Austro? Scandi? Geez, I just froze in indecision. I call Sean. No answer. Call again. Nada.
I decide to walk away. Paid for my Heller and am moving out the door.
Sean calls whispering as he is at work.
"Pick them up NOW"
Yes sir!
So, would you have picked them up?
V, should I get my shipping box ready?
I will make an oblique turn on Monday to see if the lids show up. Wouldn't that be cool!

V do you want one?
I already have one with the lid. It hold walnuts at the moment! C'mon! Look for the lids on Monday! There are two sizes. I reckon these are the big ones. Check out mine here and look for that shaped lid. You will surely need an ice bucket or two! Keep 'em!
I'll quote you 7 months ago:

I just had an idea!
Sean needs something to put in his hands in the GQ 'T' shot!
One for each arm!
LOL!
1 Litre or 2 ?
Can't. Already have three ice buckets and hubby is at tipping point. Do you notice the different picture location? Snuck in shots while he took the girl child to gymnastics!
In fact, after extensive talks with hubby, I have applied for and approved to have a spot at a high end flea market. I skimmed the cream, and am selling off the rest. I will use the cash to reset the pile. I am actually excited about it. Bit of a relief.
He already claimed one, naturally.
these are so sweet and man i would love one to go with my stelton bowl and candle holders :) these are great:)
I would offer you one eye4, but that would mean giving up your secret location.
thankyou eye4beauty:)
thankyou vetraio50 :) your a wonderful friend:)
thankyou Amberrose for one of the icebuckets , because when you come up here , we drunk:) sista:)
Heck ya brother!
You always say thateye4 then you psych me out with some crazy address. Tease!
Oh please that man claimed one already!
LMAO Amberrose , yes i did on the phone when she told that day:)
eye4beauty take the icebucket or ill give u away at the fleamarket:)
are you talking about yourself eye or the icebuckets?
I have a bad thrift habit that needs some relief. I have only posted a fraction of my findings. I feel the need to save cool stuff at the chip and scratch thrift. Decided that thrift can be cyclic...save, cream, sell, buy...repeat.
well i can say this , thankyou very much Amberrose for the icebucket and cant wait to see it when it arrives at my home , your wonderful caring and giving person and ill have your package sent out tomorrow Amberrose:) thankyou once again and its going to look great on my table:)
Very Cool AmberRose! Hope you find the lids.
Those are great! That about keeping the best and selling the rest sounds exciting...
And good luck on Monday with the lids! I hope you get them!
Thanks everyone! I'm on the hunt! Will update on success!
Austro, once I made the decision it was freeing. Now I don't have to feel guilty when I find things that I don't necessarily collect. Rescue program!
One down one to go eye4
Of course. We thrifters run into all kinds of cool stuff, and we really can't keep it all, hoarder style. Mid 9os I had a booth at an antique mall. A decade later I have more knowledge and more stuff! (also a house and kids). I am not making this my career...oh if only I could...just having fun and learning. If I have to be cyclic about it, c'est la vie!
They are big (and heavy) so I would guess the larger.
Hi eye4! Where are you getting it? Do you need the bucket to match your lid?
They are not coming to the big sale with me today...yes today! 16 boxes of treasure on the block. I am going to try not to shop but I think I will keep an eye out for some Abraham Palatnik.
Good luck with the firesale!

You are a darling...just the effort is sweet of you.
Oolong I didn't see your earlier post! Hang on, gotta find tape measure...
7 inches! Couldn't find tape measure so used kiddos ruler!
NOW YOUR ADRESS:) AND THOSE ANGELS WILL BE IN THERE AS WELL :) LOL:) HA HAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh my Gosh! Okay, address' aside...do you want me to give you the bucket? Very happy to do so eye4. Might even throw in some pumpkin bread : ))
Plus I have been dying to give you a present!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My email is on my profile. Send me an email, say hello, learn my real name and we will go from there.
Hahaha! Nope. AmberRose is a play on my last name.
Yes Sean is his real name. He knows my real name but calls me Amber which is adorable. What's your real name? Kidding, you don't have to bandy it about. It is kind of fun to have a Nom de Plume.
I'll have to see later today. Gotta leave early to vote! Will look this afternoon but think so...
