Flippin Find O the Century Friday!

Prepare yourselves.... Here's what happened. I was skipping along one day when... Ok so I wasn't skipping but I felt like it, cause I was heading into the thrift store, and I haven't been in ages. Anyhoo, I walked in with a new outfit on my mind, and just as I was passing the furniture, there she was.....


Yep, I don't need to tell you, because you know what happened.. The heaven's parted and the angel's sang, yes indeedy, I heard them clearly.

As I stumbled forward ( I really almost fell over an extended lazy boy) to take a closer look, I could see she was in beautiful condition, and had fabulous detail's, and hold on to your granny panties... It could separate into two equally amazing retro chair's!!!! Yes I know!! ( jumping up and down)!


But wait , there's more!... The cherry on t cake was the little scrap of paper with the price...drum roll...

Palm's sweaty, eye's darting madly, to see if I had to fight anyone else eye balling what clearly must be mine! The only person hovering was the little guy from the back , who just informed me he literally put her out on the floor 10 minutes previously, and that it was a neat piece.

Pulling myself together , I said yes indeedy, and she's coming home with me.... And that my friend's is the story of one of my all time greatest thrifty find's. The End.

Thrifty Tuesday

Yes I do confess, you will find me in a thrift store, or when weather permit's, at a garage sale doing as my grandma put's it.."looking for a little treasure". I can't tell you the last time I was at a mall. I just get such satisfaction finding unique, and different thing's that make my style,decor, and art look different from the typical cookie cutter commercial style of today. That's not to say I object to new thing's, oh contraire mon frere! I simply love to mix the old with the new, that makes you stand back and say..Now this is me! And then when you can do it for practically nothing, that's the final feel good moment. I can honestly say that if I had money, I would still "thrill to thrift". Here are a few "little treasures".

Fabby Bag Find's

Well I have already stated how much I love the thrill of the thrift, but now that it is summer there are also treasures to be found at garage sales as evidenced by my lovely vintage Italian bag in the o' so unusual yet awesome shades of canary yellow and turquois blue. Usually you can find purses at garage sales for anywhere from .50 cent's to a couple buck's. But in this case this baby had a $12 dollar tag, a little pricey for me so I walked away, only to be slightly regretting as I continued my garaging foray's. Sooo I finally caved and figured if it was still there, then obviously it should be mine. Pulling in front of the home, my eagle eyes locked on to that bold beauty, where I hopped out wallet in hand , prepared to wheel and deal. It was the end of day,so people are more likely to go lower on item's, and I am happy to report that the final bargain price was only $7 smacker's!!

Now my flashy 70's golden girl was found in a very small, slightly grungy thrift store where time after time again I will find awesome goodness like this pre-L.A.M.B. version that has been so popular. Mine was snatched up for a mere pittance at $2 and will look fab with a sundress and gold, strappy sandal's (preferably 70's as well, still lookin) I will be sure to share more "Thrifty Thrill's" as I am so compulsed ! Happy Tuesday!!
