This Week's Item of the Week is a vase full of these beautiful glass roses. Okay, so these flowers don't smell purty... or foul... in fact they don't smell at all. Glass does have a property that makes it appealing to the other senses though, these sparkling beauties will be sure to excite the eye. And since I choose to believe that I'm not the only one that hasn't completed my Christmas shopping. These would be GREAT for a last minute gift! And at $4 a pop these decorative pieces will be gift-wrapped before you know it. Come check them out at the Hospice Thrift Store!

This Week's Item of the Week! is an interesting pair of stone bookends depicting a skyscraper and some sort of satellite dish. Huh?!.... right, that's what I said... cactus and gaucho... I don't know much about gauchos... except they were regarded as being honest, strong, and the quiet type. Honestly, if I was sleeping up against a cactus like this guy I would need some strong skin and can say I most certainly wouldn't be quiet about it... So, pay just $10 to have these guys hold up a cactus that holds up your most adventurous collection of first editions so you don't have to!

I was perusing the thrift store and came across this gorgeous black wicker desk with matching chair... I got to thinking how timeless a design like this was... like a watch...jewlery, I turned the corner and there was a beautiful shell necklace next to the watches.... speaking of watching, I turned the corner and there was a host of TVs for sale!... not only that... there was entertainment centers to store the TV in!
Lesson Learned today, (aside from a minor case of ADHD) The Hospice Thrift Store is the place to be for all of your home/clothing/kitchen/accessory needs!

This Week's Item of the Week! is a handy compact luggage roller. This thing works like a dream... if your dream happens to involve moving bags, luggage, or even business professional brief cases. I once had a dream I had to move a gagillion watermelons from one end of a warehouse to the other while wearing a wetsuit and fins because intermittently a tidal wave of sand filled saltwater would try to hault my efforts. ....I dislike sandy saltwater. Anyway. I bet this tote would have helped out a lot! Just $3 dollars for this roller and carrying case! Oh! and this spotless American Tourister suitcase is on sale as well($10)!

This Week’s Item of the Week! is a vintage set of Arrow Opera Glasses. Opera glasses are used by audience members to zoom in on the action on stage and get a closer look at the performers. Theoretically this is a major cost saving instrument… not only are you supporting a wonderful non-profit and saving money by purchasing this item from a thrift store, you can now purchase the cheaper seats in the back of the auditorium because you are set for a close interactive experience no matter where you sit! Come get them for $15.

This Week's Item of the Week! is a completely hand-made, Mission style, full size, legal desk and chair. Don't let the simple stylings of this piece of furniture convince you that anything simple will come out of the type of studying, contemplating, and business you'll be producing out of your time spent behind it. This bold design will be an accurate representation of the straight-shooter looks you'll be darting across this solid wood desktop... not the kind that crashes. Yours for $500 at the Hospice Thrift Store on Hwy 321 in Hickory!

'Sidenote' - Some large pieces were sold and taken away, thus leaving room for some new pieces. So, clear out the old and in with the new! If you haven't been to the thrift store in the past hour or so it probably looks different... like whoa. In lieu of bringing in 'new stuff' we are totally gonna have a throw back for This Week's Item of the Week! A purple-blue-ish LAVA LAMP that works so well that several people decided to 'test' out the sofa directly in front of the lamp for at least an hour each... Trip out for just 15 bucks.

This Week's Item of the Week! Holy moly... tri-fold mirror... TRI.... that means three! I was able to take three pictures of myself all at once, I was blinded by the camera flash from three different angles and most importantly was able to observe how poor my dancing skills are and what it looks like from all angles. The best part is that this tri-fold mirror is connected to this seven drawer, one cabinet, two-tone dresser! Such a cool little bonus added to this magical reflection machine. This beautiful piece all yours for $175.

This Week's Item of the Week! Say you have 10 of something, say those things are paper, say they are greeting cards, say they are birthday cards that you received exactly 10 of… Boy do we have an item for YOU! A decorative desk decoration that will not deplete any decorum…that can display pretty much anything you can attach to it! But, when in doubt, the Hospice Thrift Store is jam packed full of so many high quality, low priced, nick knacks that you can even find hand-crafted greeting cards to put in this interesting little item holder! Yours for 4.

This Week's Item of the Week! This may be the first serious description of an item ever... A Flexsteel Sofa made right here in the USA. I have to say that this company's work ethic is just as sturdy as their sofamaking. Precision engineered, water resistant, cross-grained, laminated wood framing... this thing was built to last. I've had hammers, anvils, and horseshoes that didn't last as long as this gem will... best shoes I ever bought, by the way. On top of all this goodness this thing has already been marked down once and was just marked down again! All yours for $700!

This Week's Item of the Week! is a beautiful glass table that would be a great addition to any home or patio. The best part of this table is while under the table, your youngin' whether that be a baby or an animal such as a cat, puppy, or honeybadger decides to try to hide from you so it can eat that small piece of candy, start scratching like it's in litter, chew on your favorite slipper, or stir up that entire hive of bees... you will be able to see them and either say stop it, toss a feathery toy, threaten with a leash, or taunt with a hot poker. In any case this sturdy heavyweight is yours for just $125 making it a steal!

This Week's Item of the Week! is a little breakfast table with stools! Just add a tablespoon of sugar, a touch of cinnamon, maybe a light hint of nutmeg to the eggs and milk... just thinking about how perfectly some french toast would fit on that table just makes ME want to buy it. The table has a pair of stools that match the design work on the table giving it wonderful balance... almost like a side of crispy, hickory-smoked bacon... okay, for just $50 you better hurry to get your hands on this thing before I do!

This Week's Item of the Week! is a set of three bronzed, decorative butterflies! Not only do these characters act as a kind of steampunk gift, but you set one of those babies on your old tv and you'll be watchin' re-runs of Who's the Boss in no time. Better yet, put all three on there and pick up HSN...not home shopping network... Hamburg Shopping Network all the way from Germany! After all, they don't call those things on their heads antennae for nothing(actual results may vary). But seriously folks, these things are cute. You can hang them on a wall or from a ceiling as if they were actual bronze butterflies flying in your home. $5 for the set of 3 tv antennae... I mean bronze butterflies...

This Week's Item of the Week! is a Mounted Iron Nut Cracker. This work of art has been hand painted to bring beauty to your nut cracking experience. Bring your unruly nuts and crack them like there's no tomorrow with the state of the art mounting system discovered in 1638. Even though this device was created a bit later than that, you can still make the freshest pecan pie all day long. We wanted to offer the price of just $5 (the cost in 1638) but due to inflation in the past couple years we settled on $10... actually... what the hay, we'll still give it to you for $5. Just remember to bring one of those delicious pies by the Hospice Thrift Store when you're done!
