HELLO PEOPLE OF THE ATTIC :)
So since I spend nearly every day thinking or actually going thrift shopping, whether it be for sale items or personal! I thought why not do a 12 days of thrifting blogger post, I'm going to show you 12 things I thrifted and the prices, If I can remember them.. nearly my entire house hold has been furnished with second hand items, thrifted, founded or GIVEN things. so I thought why not do a 12 days of thrifting blog once a month! lol I could probably dedicate once a week in reality...but here it is:
1. Set of Victorian style lamps that light up from the top..AND inside the base! you can either have both on, or just either or... I got BOTH of these for under 8 dollars at a local thrift store! STEAL! ( I did have to glue the base back on to one of them.. but they included the shades as well.
2. Tiny tin sail boat, mounted on wood! I love ships or boats, anything that is related to the sea or water.. I'm not sure why, but I have acquired QUITE a few ship items and you will probably see a bunch in this post as well... this one has a pearly finish to the sails as well I THINK I found this at a yard sale and it has a sticker on the bottom for $2.00 , LOVE IT
3. Vintage globe, This item was a gift..and I have ALWAYS wanted one. when I was a child my dad had a globe.. I remember staring and twirling it for hours just reading every single word. this item was gifted to me last Christmas and was found at Value village (large thrift store) it cost : but for me it was free :)
4.Christmas snow globe, this is sooo cute, I think everyone has this secret love for snow globes... they are in nearly every single Christmas movie new and old, so that is probably why! BUT I found this at a local thrift store, and I believe I paid 3.00 for it.
5. Botanical lamp shade, I found this at a thrift store called ' Beyond the Blue box', the lamp shade that originally went to the lamp, broke! so I happened to find this one and it was $1.50 BUT they were having a half off certain items sale and this was one of them ... so it cost me $0.75! YA... you read that right! lol I love this so much.
6. Vintage picture frames, I have many of these around my house, and the thrift store I mentioned above... Beyond the blue box, does certain items by the pound.. and this is one of those items.. so I don't know for sure how much I paid PER item because I never just by one weighted Item, BUT I would say it probably cost me 50 cents OR LESS. !
7. Creepy dolls, these aren't for every one's taste but I just LOVE them! they are cracked up and dirty, they both have original clothes on and have hand painted faces , I love thinking about who owned them or even who MADE them. And how much they must have adored them when they were given to the first child. I feel the same way about old books...someone loved them dearly at one point in time! and now they are mine :) I found these at a yard sale this past summer and they were 4.00 dollars !
8. Pillar candle holders, this trio of candle pillars was a very exciting find.. although they were A BIT out of my ' thrifty budget' ( I like to get the BEST deal when I thrift to get that extra rush LOL ) they cost me $8.00 for the set if I remember correctly and that was for all three! I love them
9. Unique handmade wine rack, this I found at a flea market, it was amongst a junk yard of outdoor items, it was meant to be a gift and I was going to stain the wooden knobs and paint the steal. But before I was able to gift it, my dad let me know it wouldn't work for the size of the table ( meant for my step mother) but it cost me $5.00 which is INSANE for what it is and the quality is amazing.
10. Vintage pipe set, I found these recently at yet again another local thrift shop, and they were an AMAZING find, I will never find a deal quite like this for a while, I ended up keeping a few for decor and listing the humidor and selected pipes online! but I just love these SOOO much! They cost me .... $5.00 FOR EVERYTHING in the picture, including , humidor,all the pipes in the box and the box!!!! that's crazy.
11.Music sheets, this would be more for my fellow craters or fellow music lovers I got these for the intention of putting them in frames and displaying them as art work, but also for the left overs and ''no name'' music sheets I wanted to modge podge some tables, or furniture pieces. These probably all together over time cost me 10.00 total? I have been gathering them over the years.. I may find my self listing some as well. actually I did a table once.. I will leave a picture
12. Antique Vanity, this is one of my precious items, I love it so much it sits in my main living area, it was also one of my best finds price wise this beautiful vanity cost a grand total of 30 dollars! and was purchased from value village! YES 30.00 dollars, value village has a deal when you drop of donations you get stamps on a card, once you reach a certain amount of stamps you get a discount! we applied it to the already crazy deal! and got this lovely refurbished antique vanity
I will try and do more of these...I just LOVE talking about my thrifted items :)
