terrifically thrifty tuesday!

last tuesday was an amazing thrift day.

it started off by visiting a free market on morse with my friend stephanie. the market was open to the public for drop off & pick up - so both stephanie & i brought a couple bags of stuff to get rid of. at the market i ended up finding a brass lamp, some old photography assistant books, a creativity book & a huge bag of paint/linoleum chips [they were free - so why not?].

 the lamp is so perfect because it's so industrial looking & at some point, we'll be able to take it apart to put something cool inside the glass :]

after the market, stephanie & i went to the thrift stores i normally hit up every tuesday. i found 'middlesex' [which i've been dying to read], a beautiful black and white storage box, a vintage scarf, a blue bell-sleeved dress & a teal leather purse.

grand total? 

$13!

have you thrifted anything good in the past week? i'd love to see pictures!

these are the goodies i found last week:

gorgeous white, round mirror.

colorful reindeer tablecloth - great for christmas, but pretty enough for year round.

terrifically thrifty tuesday!

yesterday was tuesday.

tuesday's are my [only] day off.

[almost] every tuesday i go thrifting. 

on those tuesday's that i do go thrifting [& find something good], i plan on showing off what i got :]

ready? let's go!

  

  

i must admit that i normally don't find these many goodies on a typical thrift day - i'll get one or two things if i'm lucky. so this tuesday was an exception. an amazing exception! i found such great pieces. maybe the closet gods were pointing me in the right direction since i gave away so many of my old clothes... ;]

i found:

a long-sleeved, retro-looking dress

a super soft, black gap sweater

a long, swingy, bright blue vintage skirt

an amazingly vintage, navy/red blazer [it fits like a glove!]

a checkered yellow & white tablecloth

an older version of the lion, the witch and the wardrobe

the grand total?

$13.87!

have you found any goodies lately? i'd love to hear about them!
