  2. Sometimes our local crafting thrift store has Interesting Color Commentary on the items for sale: makeandmendshop.com/collection

    "This game still exists, but this is the 1970s version and has some real weird questions in it! Would not recommend playing this particular set with a child in the year 2025."

    Dark blue enamel crocodile key chain, ……but get this. #Humor

    Open it’s jaw and there’s a tiny watch inside! I am so impressed. 🙀🤓 #art sort of #fun

  4. Every single time I #sew anything, I get pricked by the pins and needles... like constantly, the whole time. By nightfall, my hands are a mass of band-aids.
    Yet every single time I'm shocked and gasp loudly.
    It's a day of gasping and band-aids.
    But it's always such a surprise.
    Every time.

  5. Today’s #thrift find was a couple more nodes for my WiFi mesh system!

    I’ve probably spent $40 total on my house mesh system, cables, and switches. All came from Goodwill!

  6. While out and about yesterday, I stopped at Aldi for essentials and picked up a pineapple while I was there. Then, at Goodwill, there was a pineapple corer/slicer, brand new, still wrapped, in the box. I figured this was a sign so I bought it.
    It's hard to express just how handy that thing is. It stripped that fruit of its pineappley goodness in mere minutes. Totally worth the $3.20 US it cost me. #thrift #reuse #recycle #grateful #PineappleInTheDehydrator

  7. Banner day thrift shopping today. Found a padded fold up stool to go with my traveling work bench, a bartop air hockey table, four new CDs, a pair of French onion soup crocks, six sturdy storage bins, two new arts & crafts sets, a beer caramelizer and a bunch of other bits and bobs for the kitchen. Two different women at two different places struck up conversations with me, which has never happened before. I'm wondering if I should maybe start a shop with my finds. #thrift #vintage

  8. This is why I prefer #thrifting for #vintage #clothes online: you can create a carefully curated list of search requests and, occasionally, the desired item appears. You only have to be patient.

    This cardigan is made from 100% camel hair by #Ballantyne in #Scotland. Very nice!

  9. Picked up this today at the Goodwill for 50¢. The graphics themselves are well worth it. The recipes bring back memories.

  10. @hkz there's something fascinating about finding old packaging in #thrifting finds.
    Recently I found this bag of #DocHalsLinser (throat lozenges?) that's almost 20 years old in a #Rummikub box.

  11. @thriftwicker
    #PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
    Until 1970, the US dumped an estimated 17,000 tons of unspent chemical weapons from World War I and II off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean—and that disposal decision continues to haunt commercial fishing operations.

  12. Half way though mending these jeans I got from the thrift/ charity shop I work at.

    Was gonna go in the trash since they have paint and a torn belt loop.

    I unstitched the belt and patched the hole. Think I might make a new belt loop that is either next to the patch OR a slightly bigger loop which attaches in the original place on the top and then just below the patch.

    What do I do about the paint? Do I look up how to paint jeans and just make it all arty?

  13. Today's trip to Leicester was most successful 😍 found a Zara dress for £6.50 in a charity shop. Have walked about 15,000 steps so treated myself to my Caught In The Rain sour by Vault City 😍😍😍

    It's a Pina colada style sour 😋😋😋🤤

  15. Found this at the charity/ thrift store I volunteer at today and it's kinda sad.... It is someone's beavers camp blanket/ poncho. Beavers is the thing before cubs which is then before scouts. I think you need to be 7 or 8 to join.

    I went to beaver then cubs then went to sea/ naval cadets instead of cubs.

    Anyways I kept all my badges from when I was there and it's kinda like a keep sake.

    It's obviously handmade and made from wool (cus I'm so intune with fabrics jk XD).

  17. How a thrifting tycoon took over Goodwill in the Bay Area from an Arizona throne ("The Bay Area stores’ merger into the Arizona-Maryland operation formed the largest Goodwill organization in the world.")

    My wife and others, including the person quoted in the article, have been aware of the declining quality of Goodwill items in the Bay Area for a while, and a worker confirmed to her last year that the whole operation had been bought by Arizona.

    Now the news is out.

    The strategy is to take the most valuable items and sell them online, then convince you to pay $6 dollars for something second hand that cost $3 dollars new from Shein (which is made of 100% Polyester btw, which is textile-speak for "plastic").

    If you want something good, don't go to "Good"will.

  18. Thrift shop find of the year so far: a carved cinnabar and enamel ginger jar from China, made in the 1950s - will be spending the next chapter of its life as a tea caddy for this fine ancient arbor white tea that a friend gave me

  19. Thrift shop visit after breakfast. Nothing too exciting. Always watching for Fire King or Cornishware mugs, but no luck today.

    Came across a Fire King the other day, but it was McD's branded, sadly.

    Always fun to look. The game even without a coveted find is to choose which one you'd use if you had a coffee or tea right that moment.
