For the love of thrifting

My sister called me, asked if I wanted to meet her at thrift shop that is closing after being in business for 80 years. It was called Remarkable Shop, & it was consignment store & thrift store combined. It has served as a  fundraiser for the Junior League of Oklahoma City. We were not the only ones thinking of grabbing some discounted goods, there was a line outside the door. 
Want to share my thrifty finds! 


Found a set of gilded deer for Christmas! I will be taking the polka-dot bows of the necks:) 


This suitcase spoke to me. This cannot be explained. 


Dressy gold chain & pearl necklace- very heavy! 

Cute chunky bracelet 



Silk summery caftan


crisp black Ralph Lauren button-down

Juicy Couture purse, a bit gawdy for my taste, but my daughter? Will love this! 




Vintage brown boots, love the back vent & buckles 


Silk Banana Republic scarf. Has a funky circus print! 


Cotton Polo scarf, love the nautical style & colors 

More scarves.... 
cozy J.Crew cardigan

:) My husband will love this new piece of clutter lying around 

My goodies for today! Minus the deer. They were already in my trunk.

Thrift store trip

I love thrift stores! That's an odd thing to "love" or to enjoy doing, but I just love vintage items & the thrill of finding them. 97% of what I see I'm not interested in, its the 3% that keeps me hooked. Years ago I found a vintage Chanel silk scarf for 99 cents. Ha! You gotta hit the stores that the employees have no idea what Chanel is. Cha-ching! No designer brands were found today, but here are a few cool things I saw-
Quirky wicker reclining chair! I had a better pic of this but it got deleted. oops.

Love different dishes & cups! Leaping deer & a lion head? Hmm OK- I love the glazed yellow color, I tend to gravitate towards yellow & golden hues 
Avocado green meat grinder from Sears! 
My son Ryder showing off a brown American Tourister carry-on


I bought this for the frame, I like the carvings in it- Don't worry, I will be putting another picture in it.
I used to HAVE this Barbie! She was one of my favorites. I had her in my cart until I was in line to check out, then my clutter control voice said NO you don't need this. I might go back for her.....
