Thrift - Vera Tea Towels

Today was a good day and yellow themed! First time I've ever found Vera tea towels thrifting. Three of them unused with the tags! I'll have them listed soon or inquire through my Etsy shop if you are interested. Love the kitschiness of Joan Walsh Anglund - little box of illustrated plates for framing - perfect baby room decor.

Below a pair of tins. Two boxes of Dansk tiny tapers, pair of Campbells soups mugs and yes that's another Boynton mug you see, don't hate. And a mirror with a huge yellow plastic frame, unmarked hope it's not old Ikea. Sigh, Vera makes me happy!

Thrift - Hans Agne Jakobsson

Tensor eyeball desk lamp a Sanrio book and some other children books. Pair of iittala mugs with Made in Finland sticker. Swedish ball candle holders, Swedish candles and little Boynton photo album.

At the bottom some vintage cards - have pile packed away somewhere. Below is a Swedish Hans Agne Jakobsson glass lantern top but I couldn't find the base though I know I saw it weeks earlier. Found the base later ...

Thrift - Sandra Boynton

First time thrifting since just before Christmas. At the old biddy thrift found Sandra Boynton invites and a Steinbach, Germany rocking horse ornament that came with the Taiwan soldier. Bust at the other thrift. Expect things will be slow for the next few months. Maybe I'll hit up a estate sale.

Thrift - Hippy Trippy Hippos

With thrifts and estate sales being piddly decided to skip visits over the weekend and earlier this week. Might as well have skipped today too. Estate sales for this weekend look unappealing as well.

My mug addiction continues (sorry about the blurry photo) but how could I resist the trio of hippos? SOLD. A Garfield mug SOLD. And another addition to my monstrous collection of Sandra Boynton. A Harrods tea towel and a nice porcelain lidded jar. SOLD 

By the way the $750 jewelry box is still there.

Thrift - Bad Thrifts Make Me Cranky

Nothing all that exciting here. Visited 2 thrifts on the way to a store. Shelves were bare at the GWill but did manage to pick up the Boynton mug and a silk scarf for the sis.

At a crappy crappy over-priced thrift for the first time found some items. A Vera "Lacy Fern" vase for Mikasa. Three children books, Mickey Mouse SOLD. Black bear cubs originally designed by Ferguson for Pigeon Forge Pottery in Tennessee SOLD. Hopefully all these items will be up for sale soon in my Etsy shop.

Thrift - Don't Have To Eat My Shoe...Yet

My fave thrift had their fall reopening this morning and it was cray-cray! Guess, people wanted to get first crack on the new clothing, I don't have the patience to sift through loads of shirts. Shelves were empty since they were cleaned out. Did enjoy wandering around looking at my donations and the prices, yep things have gone up. I'm always amused to see a higher price than what I paid for it.

At the old biddy shop I chuckled at the $750 1st Dibs jewelery box. Really! Who goes to a thrift store to spend $750 on a box, when as my mom pointed out, they can get jewelry for that. Guess, I won't have to eat my shoe this week. They had added several new items with high listings. But if people buy and the money goes charity, one can't complain too much. I'll try and take pictures next time as I find this ever so amusing. Did pick up a Tonala owl SOLD and a Sandra Boynton card.
