Thrifty Sunday /26

Thrift stores were closed due to covid and before that life swung me upside down with hospital visits and the like, meaning op shop visits were few and far between. As the shops have now reopened here in QLD, I've begun my thrifting again which has been a delight (although a couple of health dramas recently threw a few more spanners into my weekly op-shop schedule).  Fingers crossed the next few months see my op shop adventuring back on track again :)


I have a folder on my desktop where I throw in all my thrifted finds. That folder has been slowly filling - I always love seeing what other people score, so today is sharing day!

thrift store frankie magazines
Frankie Mags! I've started a list in my phone of all the editions I have and any holes in my collection.  It's very helpful in not buying duplicates!

thrifted pink sunnies

Do you know the artist Libby VanderPloeg? She illustrated this book and it's magical!

My hair ties live in the gold spotted dish above and my earrings in the heart-shaped dish below :)

black and white snowflake pyrex dishLastly, a snowflake pyrex dish :) 

I was half collecting pyrex but my minimalist journey won out and now I only have a small collection of bowls that actually get used :)

Are Thrift Stores open where you're living?
Have you had withdrawals?

Thrifty Sunday /23

gratitude journal kikki k


Thrift Store Finds! Woohooo!

These are actually from weeks/months ago because honestly for one reason or another I haven't been able to go thrifting in sooo long, making me one sad panda! Hopefully I can start to rectify that soon.


australian indie magazine for girls
More frankie magazines and I finally have a good use for the magazines after reading them - more to come on that!

vintage ringing telephone fridge magnet

Okay I did buy this guy forever ago! He's a fridge magnet and it rings!


handmade clay bowl
A cute handmade ceramic bowl that now houses my garlic

stickers
Some instax stickers

bright yellow bead bracelets

Yellow beaded bracelets that I wear a lot! I definitely appreciate a good pop of yellow colour


hand printed handkerchief

I can't believe I'm not a handkerchief girl already, they seem to be the perfect eco solution to buying tissues!


blue and white crockery

Another blue and white plate for our collection!


frankie magazine spaces book
Frankie magazine releases a book (I think once a year?!) called Spaces that features people's homes and it's amazing!

Thrifty Sunday /22

Its been a while but I've got a few thrifted finds to show you guys today!

A pen to practice my hand lettering

An awesome vintage mug that ticks all the right cheesy boxes for me!

An album, which I haven't decided what to fill with (just yet).


Too many Astro boy stickers

A book - perfect for my year of blooms project!

Although not technically thrifted, I did buy Hetty off gumtree (Aussie secondhand marketplace) from the sweetest old lady!!

As lame as this sounds, Hetty and her amazing pink cuteness is definitely one of my favourite thing I own! 

AND the bag on the left has become my camera/everyday use bag and it's such a great size.

Vintage stickers!!

Totally showing my age but this soundtrack had way too many memories not to pick up for $1 and listen to in my car (which is still living that cd life!)

An evil eye pendant, currently hanging in my room, on a piece of pink fluro chord :)

I always see this book referenced so now I can happily reference it myself :)

A set of quote cards. 
 Every morning I pick a new one to display in my room - it's a nice little ritual :)

Lucky last - whenever I see Frankie mags for a reasonable price I stock up :)

Thrifty Sunday /21

Time to share some more thrifting finds :)
Stocking up on some more magazines, peppermint is awesome!

I've been perusing the book section more of late and this little crystal guide popped up

Heart shaped punch!

A swan planter which unfortunately came, sans drainage hole but I just need to be mindful of not over watering!  I fear if I were to drill a hole I'd have a shattered swan on my hands :P

I'm late on board the Tim Ferriss train but I've been devouring his podcast at a rapid rate and loving all the insights from his guests.  When I saw his books pop up whilst thrifting it was a no brainer to grab them :)

Another book, this one I've had for a while and it's a really easy to follow tarot guide :)

Fluro pink planter stand :)

Shiny gold phone case, picked up in tweed :)

I just finished reading this book and golly gosh, life changer,
I now need to hunt down his other books :)

A red geranium in a cute yellow hanging basket, picked up at a garage sale :)

Some lovely vintage writing paper

I love little details, like the old price tag :)

A cane basket/tray which so far has provided a variety of uses :)

And lucky last, another swan planter currently holding some baby succulents that I hope will eventually spill out over the edges :)
