THRIFTY THRILLS

The thrifting world has been rather sparse lately. I have been lucky to come home with a teacup! But yesterday was a major turnaround. I was very lucky and found some good stuff.


 Here is my haul, minus two more chairs, and some dishes.


 I have a problem with buying wayyyyy too many chairs. But I just couldn't let these go. I love this one's detail. It's rather lovely. It needs a good scrub for sure!


I've been on the hunt for ironstone since I started my booth, but never had much luck. But since May, I've been finding a piece here and there. And now, I have so much that I've got some to keep and some to sell. 


I just love this little crock. It says made in England on the bottom, but I'm not sure when it's from. 50s or 60s maybe?


I know that this guy is a bit ugly, but I can see some major potential. It's screaming to be made into a beachy little cabinet. 


This is the other chair I'm showing off. I got four yesterday, but these are the most unique. They were paired with a modern (and by modern I mean 90s) iron and glass table at Goodwill. They were priced together too, but I really only wanted the chairs. So like any chair fiend would, I asked if I could buy the chairs only. She said no....so I bought both and left the table. Sort of a re-donation?


I know that something major is missing here....a vanity perhaps? Well, I couldn't pass up a beautiful vanity mirror in this good of shape. So, I figure I will eventually find a vanity sans a mirror and they will make a lovely couple. 


 I'm always picking up delicate dishes, I have quite the surplus actually, but I can't pass up lovelies like these!

 

I also can't pass up dress forms. They are kind of hard to come by, so when I see one I literally run to them in Goodwill. It's kinda grubby and a little torn, so I got odd stares. But who cares? I've got a fabulous dress form now!
