Sweetpea wanted in on the shoot again, she loves getting into whatever mama is working on :] This chevron blanket wasn't thrifted - sorry - but I did find it in my basement and had no clue it existed until a few days ago. This blanket was given to my mom some time in the 70's by a sweet neighbor. She thought the colors were too wild growing up but I fell instantly in love with them. The colors are still so bright and looks brand new. Although it wasn't thrifted, I was just too excited and had to share with someone.
Lace Skirt - This skirt came from Forever 21 but I picked it up at Village Discount for less than a dollar :]
Leather Purse - My mom had a coupon to one of our favorite thrift stores so I picked up this genuine leather purse for under $2. I don't think anyone used it by the looks of it. I was in dire need of a new purse so I was glad to find this.
Metal guitar - I found this at a local Savers. I really like all of the detailing on it. I plan on cleaning it up and repainting it. I like the distressed look it has at the moment though, so I will try to allow some of the bottom copper color to show through.
Happy thrifting everyone!! Have you found anything exciting recently?
I'm just melting over that leather purse. In Germany we don't really have thrift stores like that, I'm sure we do in really big cities like Berlin or Hamburg, but in smaller cities not really. I swear, if I went to Nurnberg I'd be buying that purse for like 240euro or something. It's so pretty dear, I hope you enjoy styling with it :)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that. We have a bunch in my town. There is a lot of junk in them, but you can find gems too. Thank you, I haven't used the purse just yet but am excited to start pairing it with outfits soon :]
DeleteAhhh these are awesome finds. I haven't been thrifting lately, but hopefully when I head back to school I will go. I am in search of the perfect lamp for my dorm!

Good luck finding one :]
DeleteI always love looking at thrifted treasures! I particularly love the bag- it's such a classic piece. And your pup is quite adorable as well. And- wow- your mom is so talented. The blanket is rad!
ReplyDeleteThank you :] I love looking at other peoples thrifted things too. Almost as fun as finding the stuff yourself. You never know what will turn up!
DeleteThat purse is brilliant and it looks in perfect condition. What great finds.
ReplyDeleteI really lucked out!

My mom listens in to this radio shopping show and two of our favorite thrift stores have coupons so we pay like $3 for a $10 coupon, etc. It is pretty awesome and gives us and excuse to get our thrift on :]
DeleteI seriously am totally jealous of your finds. Especially that awesome 70's blanket!! The colors are bright and gorgeous! I so need to get back into thrifting.
ReplyDeleteThe blanket was my favorite find of all, even if I only found it in a box in my basement haha.
DeleteWhat lovely finds, I think I've officially been bit by the thrifting bug, I've been thinking about going thrifting constantly since my last outing. This is a really pretty blanket, I love the bright colors! That metal guitar is beautiful!

Once ya start you can't stop! And thank you :]
DeleteYou found some amazing treasures at great prices! That blanket is gorgeous! Love the colors and chevron pattern! And Sweetpea is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteThank you & thank you!!
DeleteThat guitar would be so fun to paint! Great finds.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love that blanket!
I can't wait to spruce the guitar up. It used to have a turquoise color on it, so I think I am going to stick with that but brighten it up a bit.
DeleteThat purse is a GREAT find and for $2 is a steal!

I know! I almost felt bad for paying that price, almost... :]
DeleteThat purse is so perfect! Such a great find! Thrifting really is the best <3
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is gorgeous btw. I love chevron prints; and the colors are so vibrant and fun!
Thank you. It really helps to brighten up a room :]
DeleteThat purse is a goodie and will remain relevant for a very long time. Score!
ReplyDeleteI also really dig that iron guitar/banjo. But I have to admit that I would probably attack it with a brightly coloured can of spray paint too. I have a spray paint problem.
It definitely will :]
DeleteHaha, I do too! There isn't anything a can of spray paint can't spiffy up. I just spray painted an antique mirror a baby blue color and love the results.
I need to go thrifting soon! It's been too long.

DeleteWow what awesome finds. I'm loving the purse a lot. I've been looking for one like that, but haven't found any luck. My coolest find lately what a curio cabinet. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am so glad I found the purse, I wasn't really looking for one but there it was and I had to have it. Haha. Awesome! I need to find one of those to store my vinyl toys in - right now they are on a bookshelf and catching dust :-/
