Nearly three weeks ago I told you I would share my garage sale finds in a week. Well, I’m late – fashionably, of course. It’s hard to want to write this post since I have so many cool things from this month that I can’t wait to share with you. But I digress, last month’s […]
Thrift Store Finds
November Thrift Store Finds
I found a lot of note-worthy things in the month of November, both at thrift stores and garage sales. Today I’ll be sharing what I found at thrift stores – since you know, this is titled thrift store finds – and will be back next week to share all the garage sale scores. I added […]
Stinky Wood Box
You know that smell of early 20th century homes with beautiful original coffered ceilings and wood floors still in great condition? Yeah… that wasn’t the smell this box held. This was one of those old smells that should stay lost in time. Forever. Remember when I bought it from the Brocante Market? Well shortly after […]
October Thrift Store Finds
I’m on a roll with this whole hoarding… err.. I mean thrift store shopping thing. I’ve noticed more and more thrift stores are starting to charge more for things, so I’ve been hunting down local thrift shops that haven’t lost sight of their thrifty beginnings. Needless to say I am pretty excited to share with […]
September Thrift Store Finds
How is it already October? October means my baby girl is going to be one year, which makes my older babies are nearly 10 and 3. This is insane to me, you guys. I’m completely for distracting myself from this fact with some thrift store finds, are you? October is also the month my cousin […]
DIY Fail (or, When To Just Give Up)
I had big plans when I spotted a vintage travel case at the thrift store. Big plans, I tell ya. Said plans were to paint it pretty and use it to store things; fabric or maybe dollhouse furniture, craft supplies even crossed my mind. So I taped it up, primed it with plastic spray primer […]
Washi Tape Makeover
I found this marble maze back in April at a thrift shop for $2.50. I like the wood, but felt it was missing something. I considered painting it around the edges like I did with the pig cutting board but due my indecisiveness, I wanted to do something a little less permanent. Washi tape, meet […]
August Thrift Store Finds
August was good in terms of thrifting. I actually had the time to dig through one store’s bins of what seemed like junk. Because I only had miss Isabelle in tow during this particular trip, I was able to find some pretty cool things. In those seemingly junk bins, I uncovered a little baggie full […]
July Thrift Store Finds
Thrift stores around where I am seem to be dwindling in fun things to find, so July was pretty slow in the thrift shopping department. Which is okay with me, since we really don’t need too many things. Lately, I have been trying to buy things that will be particularly useful to us, like this […]
Brocante Vintage Market
There’s a new place in St Petersburg worth checking out. As you may have guessed from the title, it’s called Brocante Market and is filled with more vintage goodies then you can imagine. It’s like the perfect estate sale, with the bad stuff already thrown out. Yes, it’s that good. This past weekend was the […]
