thrifted thursday...

here is one of my bestest finds ever!!!

thankfully i was with my bestest friend when i found this, because she had to convince me that "yes, this is the perfect sofa, perfect style for your 60's ranch house, perfect size for the small room, perfect colors, and it looks BRAND NEW!!!" and it was $74.99.

words of reason are always so helpful.

after measuring and realizing it would fit into my van, i brought it home and into my den where i loved it more and more. the label (bernhardt) shows it is a rather good brand of wood furniture, and it was manufactured in 2008. not a tear, stain, smell. new, but looks retro. love love love it.

yah me!

thrifted thursday...

ooo, was i in love when i found these! i was getting ready to buy some on etsy when i found these while thrifting! visit me at my style blog, B.A.B.E.S. to see them paired with my favorite dress!

thrifted thursday

found these six small bowls for $2.99. loved the flowers, of course! i am a die-hard girl for all that so-called tacky 60s/70s stuff! when i flipped them and saw the label, had to have them.

went home and googled...georges briard was born in the 30's and designed in the 50s-70s. very cool.

what a find...

look at this awesome old swivel stool i happened upon today as i browsed a second-hand store...

it will be so cute in my classroom...

question...to paint or not to paint?...and what color?

hit the thrift...

my sis-n-law and i hit the thrift today...

ok, we ALMOST bought these, but couldn't think of the last time that we had wished we had psychadelic pants. but i did have to have a photo.

i spent a grand total of $8.50...

two scarves, one of which seems vintage...

a puzzle (our new summer past time), a wooden shape puzzle for my kindergartners, a knit sundress (which will make a great swimsuit cover-up)...

and, TA-DA, an AWESOME, seems brand-new, instant Polaroid camera for only .99!!!

now if i could only find FILM that doesn't cost $2 a PRINT!!! argh.

good find...

i bought this ring for $10 at a thrift store a few months ago...it was signed on the back (tom nez, navajo), so i knew it was authentic...i wear it almost every day.

i love a unique find!
