  1. Upcycled a hand embroidered bargello pillow cover that echoes the colours in our rug. Thrifted the original (with powder blue satin ruffle) for a couple dollars, took it apart, and fashioned a border and back from curtain offcuts to make one that suits me better. People give these things away not appreciating the hours of work that went into them.

    Vintage pyrex oven safe bread form $2.50 at Goodwill

  3. I found more silver-plated treasure while thrifting! This gravy boat needs a good polish, but will really make my table shine 😊

  4. Look what I found while thrifting! As far as I can tell, this pepper & salt shaker set is silver plated and probably from the Fifties. I just love finding such treasures! 😊

  5. I found this in the thrift/ charity store that I work at. It is leather purse. I was gonna put it aside to price up but it made a noise and I discovered a coin holder. That had a 50p and this cute note inside...

  6. Woohoo, I got the jackpot at the thriftstore! € 3,50 for all this!

  7. At one of my local thrift stores. On one hand, it would be helpful to spare my actual VCRs a little mechanical wear and tear. On the other hand, $7 seems a bit high. And on yet a third hand, I should hold out for one of the novelty sports car ones.

  8. I'm just pleased that I can still find interesting LPs and tiki kitsch in thrift stores in the far-flung science-fictional year of 2025. At a reasonable cost. The Wendy Carlos record looks essentially unplayed, only adding to the experience. #Kitsch #Moog #Synth #ThriftStoreFind #Tiki #Vinyl #WendyCarlos

  13. Well I caved in to the temptation to go back and look for the mouse. Guess what !

    Not the same one pictured above, but still... Pretty slick for $3 !

  18. Got this bizarre Fujitsu keyboard in unused condition for a fiver at the thrift this afternoon. In stark contrast to the mechanical keyboard I've been using, this one is so quiet it's almost disruptive to my typing

    Also the arrangement of the pipe/backslash and enter keys is... neat.

  19. #ThriftStoreFind of the day. #TheTragicallyHip Day for Night.
    I haven't listened to this album in probably more than 25 years. Waves of #nostalgia
    This album was on heavy rotation for me in grade 12 after it was released during the fall of 1994.

  20. Abner Jay claimed not to know his own birthday, but he did on one occasion describe himself as "25 years older then you think."

  21. "...out of all the creatures on earth...every creature on earth has sex lives except one creature, and that's a mule. That's why a mule's face is so long. When you see a man or woman with a long face, they ain't hittin' on nothin'! Look how long my face done got since my woman been gone. And the longer my woman be gone, the longer my face gon' get." -Abner Jay

  22. Here's the title track, "The Backbone Of America Is A Mule And Cotton" in its entirety. It's the only original song on the album, but gives you a pretty good glimpse at Jay's personality.

  23. Feeling really lucky to have come across this artifact. Traditional songs have, by definition, been done to death, but Jay's renditions are entrancing. His rendition of How Great Thou Art nearly brought this atheist to tears.

    The Wikipedia article on the man reveals so much more you'd never know from looking at his own autobiography and notes. Take a look if you've got a few minutes to learn some American history nobody's trying to teach you.

  24. Some of Jay's recordings were complied for release in 2009 for an edition called "True Story of Abner Jay." The release includes a two-page autobiography by Jay. It's good reading.
    Here's a thoughtful review with some excerpts and whatnot

  25. A fun $15 thrift shop find! It’s translucent black, not purple, but thrift shoppers can’t be choosers.

  26. Thankfully, I'm going on vacation in few days. I think I'm going to need one of these:

  28. Today's #thriftstorefind is this gigantic Toshiba DVR19DTKB2 combination #DVD and #VHS recorder from I think 2009, which I picked up from the British Heart Foundation for £20.

    I still need to test and make sure it's working fine, but the BHF shop here are pretty good for not selling faulty stuff.

    get out of your cave and stay warm in new snow pants and puffy vests from Lainey's

  35. Gay powers restored! :gaysparkles:

    Have had a lovely #Friday with my husband Jaykn8 and Oscar the cat (see previous cat photos for cat tax)

    Went for a walk after breakfast / coffee and got a #haircut at my favorite place!

    Also I don't think I've posted much about it on here, but also on display is one of my thrifted #bags because I'm obsessed with finding them.

  36. The vase was bought in a charity/thrift shop today, and only cost me €3.
    The flowers are from my garden, and unfortunately cost me one nettle-sting! 😬

  37. So I just got home and time to show off the #ThriftStoreFinds

    I picked up 11 #VHS tapes (Do The Right Thing is still sealed), 4 #DVDs, 2 #vinyl records, and 10 #CDs.

    Pretty good haul today and everything was right around $30.
