Welcome to 2nd Time Around Tuesday. Do you have something to share that is from:
- an estate sale
- a garage sale
- a flea market
- an antique store
- an inheritance
- someone's trash
- a thrift store
This weeks 2nd Time Around pics will be from New York City! In this photo, my sister is pulling a small travel bag that she rescued from the trash outside a resturant near our hotel. We were going to have to buy another suitcase just for our purchases, and this one, although a little beat up, served the purpose well!
My sister is not into antique and flea market shopping like I am, but both she and my nephew were good enough sports to let me browse a couple of the stores that we ran across. I snapped a few pics of things I liked to share. These vintage dishes were marked 80 dollars for the set, but the store was having a 25% off sale. I didn't think that was too bad of a price! 
This oak mirror on an easel was found in a little shop in Greenwich village. I'm not sure of the price. There is something about tiger oak that always attracts my attention!
This oak bookcase was in the same store. I looked but didn't see a price on it either. It reminds me on an oak secretary that I bought several years ago.
I did see the price on this little table which had been stripped and ready to finish or paint. It was $225.00 It reminds me alot of the one I paid $5.00 for at a garage sale here. LOL
And finally, here is a set of bookends that I really liked. Didn't get the price on those either!
You may be wondering if I bought anything. I did buy some purses on Canal Street and the scarf in my Pink Saturday post from the thrift store. Even though I didn't buy much, I always love shopping the antique and thrift stores!Thanks for stopping by! Please help spread the word about 2nd Time Around Tuesday!

Hi Diane! Looks like a great trip to New York especially when you can go antique shopping :0)
Diane,
I know you had a great time in New York, but I didn't know about all the shopping you did!! The suitcase piece was a steal!!!
I hope to participate in Second Time Around, but am not prepared yet. I will be sure to visit the participants!

Hi, Diane ...
I love that little unfinished table ... but not its price tag. Your "second time around" $5.00 table was just as pretty ... lol
Thank you for taking the time to host "2nd Time Around Tuesday." It's going to be fun.
I'm glad you had a wonderful time!! Tom and I love shopping the antique shops and thrift stores, too!
;-)
Everything in those antique stores look high quality and expensive, Diane! One of the reasons I don't shop in them, as I just wouldn't be able to afford their prices. Rent is so very high in NYC (about $80 to $1,000 a square foot) so they have to charge a lot to just break even.
Finding things on the curb on garbage pick up day is a favorite pastinme of many Manhattanites however, and some have furnished whole apartment this way!
One of my friends adores "Craig's List," a free internet list where people advertise things they are selling. She just bought a beautiful Pottery Barn brand living room set (chair & ottomen, couch and coffee table) for $500 from someone who was moving!
I hope to be able to join in your "second time around Tuesday" in the future!
Hugs, Pat
I'm surprised you left those dishes in New York.
Diane, thanks for taking us shopping with you. It was fun to see things and compare prices!
Thanks, too, for hosting us today!
Looking forward to doing this new format with you.
XO,
Sheila :-)
I enjoyed coming along on your NYC shopping trip Diane. Imagine the rent they pay on the shops there--no wonder the prices can go through the roof. We shopped for Coach bags in Chinatown when I was in Manhattan last year--quite an experience!
Good morning Diane. I had a laugh on myself this AM when I came over to sign up for Trash to Treasure. I did a post for today. That's what I get for missing some of your posts. All is well, a few quick changes is all it took. I love your new idea.
Your shopping trip to the antique stores and thrift stores was interesting. Everything in NYC is more expensive. My sister's always do an antique show in NY and they do so well. They love that show and I can't think of the name of it. Anyway their prices are great coming up from the South, as they paid less for their merchandise. They usually sell out.
Have a great day.
Hugs...Jeanne
Diane, What on a beautiful trip could be more fun than a little antiquing AND thrifting? Thanks for sharing your trip and treasures!
I love that wood furniture...it is just beautiful!

I love your little table that you got for only $5...oh, the things I could do with it! Your sis did well on her bag from the trash bin...woo hoo!
thrifty finds are great. when in nyc the prices are way too high, great that your table was only $5.00.

It looks like you really enjoyed your browsing. I liked that old oak bookcase. I suppose that would be something a little too hard to get on the plane! LOL!
You seem to have your best luck goint to yard sales and thrift stores.
take care,
Dawn
Diane, I am so sorry I am having a problem getting my link to work...
I'm just wondering why you didn't get the bookends.They were cute.I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself.Glad you're back...Ann
Hi Diane
Glad to hear you had a good time in NY. It is such a great city! I'm not going to join in on your second hand Tuesday but pretty much everything in my house is second hand!
Hugs, Rhondi

Antiquing in New York looks wonderful!! What a fun trip.
When I picture NY, I just would never think that a place like that would be there. Great spot!
I sure did enjoy shopping with you in NY today. Those dishes at the beginning of your post are fabulous. And I also love those bookends. laurie
Very nice trip you had to New York,those dishes are so pretty and I love the little table.It is my dream to make one trip to New York.
Hi Diane. Of all the luck to find that bag! So glad the group was accomodating to you to let your browse. Those dishes are very pretty!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love finding "treasures." One persons trash, as they say, is another persons treasure. Oh, so true!

Diane, thanks for stopping by my blog and the comment! I'm so glad we found each other. I joined up today because I had another item from the market to 'show'. I LOVE all your photos from NY. I so hope to go there one day.
Hi Diane :)
It looks like you had a wonderful time in New York! My only regret is not seeing the Statue of Liberty, but I love the shopping there ;)
hugs,
rue
Looks like you had a great time in New York. I have never been there, but hope to someday.
There is something about thrift and antique shopping that lifts the spirit, even when we don't buy anything. Love the deer bookend.
I'm so happy you had a great trip to NYC, I am 55 miles from the city and love going there, I just didn't enjoy commuting to work there!
I'll be joing your 2nd hand Tuesdays since most of my things are 2nd hand...those are my favorites!
I enjoyed looking at your blog. Please stop by and say hello. Mary
Oh my! How did you leave the tiger oak? I am addicted (as is Mr. Dumpling) to tiger oak and have it thru out the house. Gorgeous!

Hi Diane
I love those dishes. Weren't you tempted?? You did well purchasing a table like that for $5.00!! Thats the great fun of thrifting. It sounds like you had a great thrifting trip. Its always fun to check out those spots in areas you don't usually shop in. You never know what you'll find.
Thank you for sharing!
Hope you have a great evening.
