Anywhooo... let's get back on track. It is Thrifted Thursday, and I have been up to a lot of thrifting. As I announced earlier in the week - I have decided to open up a vintage shop at the beginning of next year - I am pretty excited about it. I will have a legitimate reason to keep up my bad thrifting habits, haha. Here is a mini glimpse at some of my recent finds -



I found these groovy dresses on Sunday. They were half off since they had been sold as "Halloween Costumes", which meant I picked them up for $2 & $5. I really want to go to some ball with the Brady Bunch in the yellow dress, haha.

If you follow me on Instagram these books will look familiar to you. I scooped up copies of the 1957 edition of Oliver Twist, 1958 edition of Vanity fair, and 1960's editions of Little Men and Best in Children's Books set. They were all in beautiful condition aaaand I am totally a sucker when it comes to judging a (literal) book by it's cover.




I had to save the best for last (in my opinion). I added a huuuge chunk to my pyrex collection over the weekend. I found pyrex cups for 50 cents each aaand had a $20 coupon to use at one of my favorite thrift stores. This = mega pyrex haul (plus the two pieces of fireking and glassbake). I can't wait to make all of my Thanksgiving dishes with all of my new pyrex. It is going to be on pretty Thanksgiving. Tehehe.
Do any of you collect pyrex? It is quite addicting. Anywho. I hope you have a beautiful day.
Oh the Pyrex... and you always have the best luck finding awesome 60s-70s dresses! And you've also got me sifting through the baby dolls at my thrift store hoping I can find a Blythe!!! =)
ReplyDeletejackpot! that mushroom pyrex is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI collect pyrex and I am drinking coffee from that white and blue cup right now! Love your finds!
ReplyDeleteThat entire Pyrex set is gorgeous! I love the blue dish with the snowflakes. I always have horrible luck finding awesome, cheap finds when I go thrifting. Guess I'm just going to the wrong places. :P

Amazing finds! That Pyrex is so great! I use my Pyrex (from Target) all the time - never thought of finding pretty vintage ones from thrift stores ;) Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteNice work, lady! THis is exactly the reason I opened my etsy shop - I have a vintage addiction, and that's all there is to it. :) Have a lovely wednesday and good luck finding more deals in the next few weeks. :)
ReplyDeleteAre you opening an online shop or a little storefront? My friend will never give me back the owl cookie jar (well, I did give it to her, stupid me) and if you ever put yours up for sale I will snatch it up as quick as you list ;)
ReplyDeleteAmazing finds! I don't collect Pyrex, but my best friend does, and so it always catches my eye in the store! It's so cheerful and wholesome! I am drooling over the books, too!

Wow, I wish we had a treasure trove of the kind of thrift stores and trunk shows you seem to have where you live. I think I would take all those pyrex dishwares, even if I have nowhere to put them! -Jessica L
