Time to share some more thrift store finds with you guys :)
First up these cuties, I tried to find some info on them and I think originally they would of come chained to a mumma deer. I don't know how I feel about the chains (as you can see in the photo they are deliberately moved to the back :p)so I'm happy with just the kidlets.
This find isn't cool and vintage but it is practical - an iPad cover. I couldn't believe my luck to find it was pink (my favourite colour) and I also couldn't believe it was 3 bucks, a satisfying find because this op shop always jacks up their prices!
Next up a sexy mermaid lady
I love how tacky this soap holder is! I was able to find out that it came from a generic cast mould that were popular in pottery classes. Having the engraving on the bottom make it that much more special to me :)
How could you donate that - makes me all the more curious for it's back story.
And lucky last a new tote complete with cute cat drawings :)
Have you guys found anything fun lately whilst thrifting?

Ooh, wow! Great loot! I hardly ever go thrifting… but I did find nice in-store "free library" where I could pick out a second hand book for free and found one I'd been hoping to read for ages(White Oleander by Janet Fitch) , so that was fun too:)
ReplyDeleteLucky score! :)
Deleteyou find such awesome thrift finds! i haven't gone thrifting in like forever. have to make a trip soon!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun and the best thing is your never know what treasures await!
DeleteThe iPad cover may not be as "cool" looking as your other finds but it was such a steal! As for the soap holder, maybe the person passed away, or a break- up? it is interesting to think about. I do love to see your awesome finds.

I was definitely stoked about the cover, was just using a cheap-o one before but apple really does quality :)
DeleteI thought perhaps the person (Gloria) passed away - oooh break up yup! It seems weird to have held onto it since 1988 and then to donate it.
You always find the best stuff at op shops! That tote is totes awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you find such awesome goodies thrifting! I always set out thinking I'll find something cool but alas, no such luck yet lol xxx
ReplyDeleteThe op shops up here are awesome, if you're ever keen I'll take you on a mission :)
DeleteSuch awesome finds!
ReplyDeleteThat ipad cover is such a bargain!
My favourite is the fawns though, so gorgeous! I must learn from you :)
I was super stoked it was pink too - definitely the colour I would have bought :)
DeleteThe fawns are definitely a happy edition to my family of ornaments!
wish I am as good thrifter as you! such lovely stuff, the mermaid got me curious as well.

At least it's journey has traveled to someone who loves it :)
Deletethe mermaid piece is so uniqe! at least, i have never seen anything like it! and the harrods tote is both adorable and practical. great finds!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chrissy! I love the tacky mermaid, it's definitely going to become a soap holder for sure :)
DeleteThree bucks for an i-Pad cover--pretty amazing find. Visiting via Sir Thrift-A-Lot for the first time :)
ReplyDeleteI was excited! I love sir-thrift-alot , always curious to see what other people find :)
DeleteWe definitely need more thrift shops here in Barcelona :) I loove the tacky mermaid soap holder! It's weird that they donate it, maybe it ended in non-Gloria-family hands by mistake and they donated it? yay also for cat tote bags :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe they had a friendship fallout! lol, so many possibilities!
DeleteThrifting is perhaps my addiction - a not very dangerous addiction so I think I'm okay to have it :) he he
