Over the past month or so I haven't had too many great thrifting trips. I've found a few decent things, but nothing really great to report.
Yesterday I decided to spend the day shopping. I visited around 10 thrifts and found some great stuff. Some were kinda pricey, but I was willing to pay the asking price.
I'm a sucker for kitschy wall-hangings. This cat and dog pair caught my eye right away. And the paint-by-numbers is in great condition and will do well in the shop.
I've found a few of the Polaroid one-step cameras with the rainbow stripe, but I've never kept one for myself. This one was kinda pricey, but I decided to splurge since I recently came across a pack of 600 film tucked away in a closet.
The two upside down light bulbs are actually salt and pepper shakers made in Japan. They were too cute to pass up and will be in the shop soon.
I collect white pottery and glass, and when I saw this hand/fist I immediately put it in my cart. I'm not quite sure what it is since it has a hole in the bottom as well as the top. I assume there is something missing. I dodn't care, I still like it.
And the ceramic glove mold was too cool to not buy.
I collect wooden candle holders, so when I saw this dove/bird piece I did a little happy dance. It looks like one of the "wings" is missing, but it's still cool.
I freaked out when I saw the Dansk Købenstyle carafe. It's something I've been looking for and it's in good condition. I will definitely use it instead of just putting it on a shelf and looking at it.
The Japanese apple canister will do will in the shop.
The splurge of the day was this piece of West German pottery. It was $28 which I thought was a good buy. If it had been white, I would have crapped my pants. But I still like red which will go well with my orange and red pottery.
What have YOU thrifted recently?
I wish I could find such amazing things! I've been striking out lately. I LOVE the birdy candle holder and the apple canister!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, love the glove hand.
ReplyDeletethose gravel paintings are dreamy!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through another one (you know how that goes). When I saw that white fist with a hole I had to laugh because I found one just like it while thrifting last week! I figured it can be used for lots of things: lollipops at your desk, toothbrush holder, tie a bunch of balloons to it, etc. It's pretty fun, right?
