I haven't done a thrift haul in a year! Sorry guys I've fallen off my blogging game, but I'm coming back I promise! I'm aiming for twice a week. Anyway I have found some awesome stuff in the past year so I figured I'd get my butt in gear and show you what I've found!
1. Vintage Green Coat with fur collar
One thing I've been searching the thrift stores for since forever is a nice vintage coat that fits me well. I've found a good number of coats that meet this description but all of them have been way too long. I'm a hearty 5'1 so many of the coats are made for taller people and leave me looking like I'm playing dress up. So I was shocked when I tried this bad boy on and it not only fit but it wasn't too long! It was originally $24.00 but I got it on sale for $12, score!
2. Mid Century Modern Blue lamp
I found this guy at the salvation army during the MLK day sales. I wasn't sure if they were having a sale or not but it was near another thrift store and I figured I'd check and see what they had. Fortunately they were having a sale and I spotted this lamp. I immediately went into a mini frenzy and wasn't sure if I should get it. There were two lamps and they were marked 39.99 a piece. WTF salvation army? but the sale made them around 20. I decided to compromise and only get one since I had already spent way too much money. But yeah in hindsight I should have gotten the second one, since it would have been better to have a pair. But you live, you learn right?
3. Mid Century Teak Lamp
I found this guy at Savers for like $7.00 a little before Christmas. I'm always looking for these teak lamps since I don't see them much at thrift stores. It has a broken end but for 7 bucks I was willing to overlook that. I really like it and it's almost identical to one I saw at the Junk Bonanza for way more. Now I just need to find a cool lampshade.
4. Red Wing Pottery Capistrano
I found this at the Salvation army in early November. There are a bunch more pieces than those shown but I didn't feel like digging them all out for the picture. It was in one of those baskets they make up for matching dishes and was pretty expensive, like a $120.00. I think it's probably the most expensive things I've ever bought at a thrift store. But, my mom collects this pattern and It's Red Wing pottery so it's very collectible. My mom went to an estate sale once that was selling this pattern and they were selling each piece individually so I figured even if it was expensive It was still a pretty good deal based solely on the sheer number of things in the basket and it would make a good Christmas gift for my mom.
5. Fiestaware creamer
This is another Christmas gift for my mom, she also collects/ uses Fiestaware dishes. I saw this little creamer and knew it was an item she didn't have. Usually if I see Fiestaware at a thrift store I pick it up for her.
6. Michael Kors Bag
I found this guy for $19.00 and from what I've read on the internet it's a legit Michael Kors bag. It wasn't in the glass case where you usually see suspected designer purses it was in the small home decor section next to candles and stuff. But I really like the bag and I've been using it pretty heavily since. I found it just in time too since my old purse was seconds away from breaking.
7. Stuart Weitzmen studded loafers
I found these the same day at the Michael Kors bag, sometimes you just have those days when you're on a roll. I haven't completely broke them in but I like em' a lot and they were around $14.00.
8. Christmas Pyrex
I found this awhile ago at a Goodwill but never shared it on the blog. It's one of the odd Pyrex pieces I've picked up in the last few years. I've mentioned before I've pretty much limited myself to only picking up pyrex with patterns I like on them so it weeds out a lot of Pyrex. This one has a very cute and festive design though so I went ahead and picked it up.
9. ASOS loafers
I got these at Savers last year sometime in like new condition and they've been in heavy rotation ever since. They're pretty comfy and I think they look pretty cool.
10. Sole Society Pumps
I've been looking for a good solid pair of pumps for more business-y situations and I think these fit the bill. I like that they have a smaller heel, I'm not real confident in heels just yet so they're kinda the perfect height. They give some height but aren't so tall I feel wobbly in them. They're around $69.95 dollars retail but I got them for $9.
11. I heart __ picture frame
This picture frame has been in my ModCloth "loves" list forever so when I saw it at Savers I had to pick it up. I'm either gonna give it to my bf for a present at some point or keep it, we'll see. If you like it you can get it online here.
