I haven't had a thrifting post in awhile because we just haven't gone thrifting. I guess it's kinda good we haven't gone because in a week, I scored some amazing vintage goodies. I was actually going to post this next week but when you wake up to a message from Ruby wishing you a Happy Thrift Shop Day and Marilla doing a thrift shop post shouting you out - you get inspired to get to work!
Behold a Fenton Milk Glass bowl with a cover. I actually had this in the bottom of Omie's stroller and a few thrifters were just waiting for me to put it back on the shelf. $10 is usually out of my price range but I had to have it. This may have been the best rule I broke all year. Don't you ever question the workmanship on a Fenton piece - it is truly a masterpiece.
It is a little dirty still - I don't have the heart to wash it just yet. Especially since the sticker is still intact.
My husband has been collecting "Big Eyed Art" for me for awhile now. Our collection only consists of Lee prints and I have never heard of Ann (is it a knockoff?) Anyways, this is in excellent condition, still wrapped and was only $2! Now if only he can find me a Lee "bear" print.
Scored this 2 pack of brand new vintage trays for my prop closet!
I have been on the hunt for a good Unicorn piece forever. And then I laid my eyes on this and had to have her! My rule of thumb is usually only spending $5 for thrifted art but hey, what's one more dollar for something you really want?
I had to make this picture HDR (High Dynamic Range) to show off the details of this handmade yarn owl from Mexico. When I saw this figure, it immediately reminded me of breathtaking Huichol bead art. It was missing a price tag and I was dreading what the price would be (or in some cases, I would have to wait the next day for them to price it) but it was only $1.99 - he had to come home with us. If anyone has info on this yarn piece, let me know!
