It has been awhile since I blogged about thrifting! I had no idea it was a favorite until I did a quick survey last week. I have been checking-in at my favorite thrift stores every week and the shelves have been bare. I was hoping people were donating because of the Holidays but it seemed like everyone took their Christmas cash and did some shopping! I blame Macklemore's Thrift Shop song! I was able to score some fun stuff lately and there have been some some funky stuff I passed on. It is always an adventure!
I passed on the adorable red suitcase because Chris says I have enough hard bodied suitcases (I only have 2!). I had one when I was a little girl and my brother had a blue one! I remember traveling with it to my Grandpa's in The Philippines. I really loved it.
Looks like someone got rid of their Japanese white ceramic figures. I wondered what the holes were and my friend Marilla of Cupcake Rehab said her Nana had umbrellas in them!
Scary clown and even scarier couple. Two bags of vintage plastic nuts for .99! The two vintage owls were uber cute but not for $7.99 each, pass. We picked up the monkey mask and its currently hanging right next to our Alphabet Photography piece. Every time I see a "Made in USA" tag, I immediately think it is probably the only one that survived its era (so basically "OOAK" or One Of A Kind). The sweater was gorgeous, not my size or color.
There was also the Nate Berkus x Target tortoise shell for $19.99 - I thought maybe it was past season but saw it tonight at my local Target for $39.99! From what I understand is that Target will unload some of their stuff to Goodwill at a discount - not free!
I also scored a pair of Seychelles in almost new condition for $9.99! Hoping I lose 10 pounds in my feet so I can wear 'em this Summer! HAHA

Duke said this bear is practicing for the "club" #facepalm Its a paper towel holder. We think he's going to be a comedian.
Liz from Peach on Earth used the hash tag #talesfromthethrift on a picture and I asked if we could share since it describes exactly how my thrifting life is! So thank you Liz for birthing an awesome hash tag!
