Sunday thrifting

As you know, I still have some pendant hunting to do and for a second straight weekend, I came home empty-handed... well, not really. Instead of going to the mall to find myself some nice pendant, my sister and I ended up thrifting! Just small things. Here are some of the stuff I bought:

vintage clutch

vintage jeweled hair clamp

silver stud earrings with faux diamond

...and more that I have yet to take photos of. Will post them soon. Also, I don't think I have to specify how much for each. Just take my word for it: UBER CHEAP!

Been thrifting lately? What are you latest buys?

Shoe Trolley

I am so loving this vintage shoe trolley! I would really want to have one of these, first because it's gorge, and second because my shoes are getting out of hand-- they're everywhere (still getting that new pair of flats though)! I can see myself already, pushing the trolley, picking up shoes here and there, and tidying up the house along the way! Nice!

Cure Thrift Shop

Lovely vintage finds (Christmas gifts!!!) from Cure Thrift Shop:

Kurt Adler 1957 paper mache that opens up for sweets!

Let the cash flow in this gorge register

Timeless station clock replica

The store dubbed it "Ernie in Thought"

I love it that such amazing items can be found in just one NY store. Finding these in the local scene would be such a tough job. But I think I have the willpower to do some serious hunting. Now all I need is enough time.

Weekly ebay find: vintage cocoa felt tilt hat

I am in love with this vintage cocoa felt tilt hat adorned with feathers and a veil. It just looks so old and romantic, don't you think? Well, I cant use this today unless I'm in a 1940's themed wedding or play or party, but it would just look oh so lovely in my closet!

Check it out here.

Madame Butterfly

Madame Butterfly, one of the most amazing stores in the world, is selling its exclusive collection of unique and vintage clothing. The store, which is about 3,000 square feet of clothing and accessories, is owned by the lovely Patricia O' Donnell, a 65-year old thrift addict and fashion enthusiast. Words cannot describe her collection and I believe even her feelings over having to part with a lifetime's worth of beautiful finds. Check some of them out:

Ms. O' Donell notes, "I get such enjoyment helping people play "dress-up". Again, real life has jumped up and bit me and I am losing my home & the store if I don't part with my collection... This has been a labor of love for me, and only a true vintage clothing collector could understand that."

"I am trying to appeal to someone or even an existing business that wants to expand their inventory. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone that has ever wanted to own an authentic vintage clothing collection or open their own boutique," she added.

Aww, this is so calling out for me!!! If I'm not so poor at the moment, I would definitely buy everything from her. But alas, I am. Check out the story here and view more of the collection here.

Oh, and please pass to your friends!!

Thrifted vintage bangles

I am so loving this vintage bangles that I thrifted from a recent Christmas bazaar. Isn't it quite lovely? You should start visiting bazaars now while they're all over the metro! World Trade recently opened for the Holiday season and though it's quite packed, it's totally worth it!
