Get the Giggles While Thrifting!


The other day, I took my friend Eebie, on a thrift shopping jaunt (she's a contributing blogger here - read Eebie's blog)!  We giggled like schoolgirls as we took clandestine pictures of the weird things we saw.  Gotta love thrifting with a friend. 

Things That Made Us Giggle

This little girl so wants to be loved.  Won't somebody please take her home?  She's been looking forlornly from the wall for weeks trying to look cute but her charms won't work on me.

Hurry, it's not too late to pick up this shirt/hat combo.  Although cute, those big noodles would take up too much prime closet space, so it has to stay on the rack.

We have no idea what the last thing is?  Sand-papery like a pumice stone and encased in a clear box, someone obviously thought this was worthy of display.  Oh no, they are probably frantically looking for their missing sculpture.  It must have been put in the donate box by mistake!

Feeling a little blue, get yourself to a thrift store for a good chuckle!

The Good, The Bad and The Just Plain Hideous!


Found this old wooden stepstool today at the thrift store.  So much paint splattered character (my girls think it may have belonged to Jackson Pollack!) and will look great as a side table or plant stand - inside or out.

They say one man's trash is another man's treasure - but seriously!!??  Check out my strange finds (no, I did not buy these!).  

I do love a good gnome (remember my cute vintage garden gnome) and he's a real ladies man with those piercing blue eyes!  I managed to resist his charms and kept on walking.

Charming gnome!!
Huh?  Do It Now napkin holder!  I guess setting the table is a matter of urgency for some people.

Napking holder comes with instructions!
To get a good chuckle, check out YardSaleBloodbath to see the crazy stuff proudly displayed on front lawns.  Did Hugh Hefner have a yard sale?
