Thrifting Frenzy


I mentioned on Friday that the thrifting and garage sale fairies have been on my side recently.  Look at my stash from the last week or so.........


I made out like a fat cat.  Nothing cost more than $4.98.

A little turquoise Pyrex.......



Frames and mirrors and pictures, oh my..........



A suitcase and travel cases of all sorts......

I found the blue case on the left online for $40.00!!!  I paid $3.98!! 


I thrifted lots of clothes:  pleated skirts, shirts, and a few dresses (thanks Jennifer).

This vintage dress, in mint condition, fits perfectly.  It was only $3.98!!!  I'm pretty sure the mister wouldn't be seen in public with me wearing this......so I'll probably leave it hanging.  Think of it as art.......



A completely vintage polka dot blazer......those buttons........only $2.98.....



And my most favorite find of all.........


I think it will look so cute perched atop a shelf after we redo the laundry room!  It was only $3.00.  Look at that hinged lid and the lettering.

My heart swells up just looking at the curly font.

If I'm able to part with some of these things, they'll end up in my booth.  If you're curious about what's for sale, I'm starting to upload photos of items I add to my Facebook page!  Feel free to take a gander.

  4. Omg I love the soap crate! I can't believe it was only $3 with all that design on the sides and bottom. I have been trying to find a few of those to make something with, but most of the ones I find are already marked up in antique stores. Great finds!

  5. Oh my gosh, YOU DID MAKE OUT LIKE A FAT CAT! Ha ha, I LOVE all of it! Laughing so hard that you said your husband wouldn't be caught dead with you in the dress, I bet you could actually make it really cute though!

  7. Nice! The blazer is great, and yay for the luggage and your dress art. The 60s mod mustard yellow dress I bought as a bridesmaid dress has been hanging on my Pyrex shelf in my diningroom ever since it arrived-it's my art :) So I completely understand!

  9. $3.00 for that crate?! I spent more than that on a newer crate recently that doesn't even have a top. You've got some good finds. We should go thrifting together!

  16. I love the vintage dress. It's a shame that what we find beautiful our misters would look at and gag. LOL. They have no idea about fashion!
