I'm getting back into my thrifting of late and in the last few weeks I've picked up some cute loot, starting with a trip down nostalgia lane and a 1993 polly pocket wedding chapel that I had as a kid. It didn't come with the bride and groom but two other pollys I recognised from other sets I had as a kid :)
After a bit of research I learned that the inside chapel light should work but haven't had a chance to put new batteries in yet to test it - one day!
I also got a mix of badges for my collection, a super aussie badge, Mickey Mouse and an expo 88 badge :)
If you follow my Instagram then you've probably seen this guy - originally a fish mug but its lovely past owners drilled a hole in the bottom, becoming the perfect planter!
On a side note, this cactus might officially be the longest surviving plant I've ever owned!
No denying I'm loving all things ceramics and flowers at the moment so this purchase was a no-brainer :)
And a cute smurfs mug!
On one of my very first thrift posts,I posted a set of heart measuring spoons, well now I have heart measuring cups!!
Love these too much :p
You're so talented at finding great things at op shops! The op shops I go to are terrible. I really love the polly pocket, oh my god.
ReplyDeleteSunshine coast rocks for thrifting for sure :)
DeleteYay I have those heart measuring cups they are too cute :) also WOWZA to the Polly pocket find!! I gave my two to Lucy recently and she adores them :) awesome finds xx
ReplyDeleteThe cups are awesome, haven't had a chance to use them yet - need to start baking! Aww that's cute about Lucy loving the polly pockets and awesome you still had your own!
DeleteYeah they are the only toy to emerge unscathed from my childhood lol! 😄
DeleteOoh, that's wonderful! Maybe I should post a picture of my Polly Pocket(s) too. I know I still have the camper, but I also remember a green box from long ago…
ReplyDeleteAnyway, great finds! I especially love the fish mug. It's probably best as a planter, I can't imagine it would be easy to drink from. Besides, it looks very cute this way :D
It does seem slightly awkward as a drinking cup and you should definitely post your polly pocket(s)!!!
Deleteloving all the pretty colors here, everything's so lovely! the fish planter is such a good find :)
ReplyDeletemy cactus seems to have approved too :)
DeleteOh wow you found the best things ever! I adore the little fish planter and polly pocket!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty happy to find both those things!
Deletelol... you should come here and go through monsieur's kids stuff. I'm sure you would find plenty of things you like. they sure liked your finds :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll ever grow out of loving kid aesthetics :)
DeleteTHAT FISH MUG!!! I want it so I can put a cacti in it!
ReplyDeleteWhy am I not following you on IG?
It's awesome hey! We're now instagram rectified :)
DeleteThose measuring cups were quite the catch. And that fish mug is incredible. The cactus looks great in it.
ReplyDeleteas soon as I saw it I knew my cactus had found a new home - although saying that it did have a cute strawberry planter beforehand too!
Deletelove everything :D
ReplyDelete:) :)
DeleteAh, I always love seeing Polly Pockets! :)
ReplyDeleteme too, nostalgia lives strong in me :) :)
DeleteOh my gosh! The Polly Pocket house is bringing back so many memories. These are fantastic finds!
ReplyDeleteso many for me too!
Deletethat first wedding chapel just reminded me of something similar i had in korea. i can't remember exactly what it is but it definitely brought back small flashes of something i used to play with! i am definitely going to have to take a few quiet moments to think clearly and recall back to what it was! oh thanks for sparking this! :)
ReplyDeleteoooh! I bet it was even cuter :) :)
