Oh my... It has been over a week since I made a blog.. reason being is I have had a very busy week of thrifting and stuff. On Friday I went and searched 4 thrift stores.. I found a cute pair of shoes for 2 dollars and a few other things. I was about on my way out to pay and leave when out of the corner of my eye I saw a clock, NO it can't be I thought... to my amazement they had a starburst clock hanging on the wall with a sticker that said $12.00 I about fell over. I was trying to show my Mom who was shopping with me without making a big scene.. I surely didn't want anyone else snagging it before I got the chance. Low and behold I was able to get it off the nail on the wall and it is now mine. AHHH PURE HAPPINESS!
On Saturday I was checking the Free classifieds when I seen a listing for a vintage dresser, I doubted it would be still be there since 38 people had visited the ad. I e-mailed the poster and asked "Do you still have the dresser?" She replied with a "Yes call me for my address" So woohoo! I now have a nifty new dresser which is in pretty good darn shape if I say so myself.
Now lets talk about today.. I again check the free classifieds I see a ad for vintage Movie cam & polaroid camera. I am now the owner of those too! The movie cam is a Kodak from 1955 it's in great condition and apparently is still working. The polaroid is in good condition and is HUGE! I have no clue how people were able to take so many pictures with those. My arms would have broke off from the weight. hahah
I have plans again for this weekend to scour the second hand stores once again. I wonder what I may come across this time?!
I just spit my coffee out when I read about the starburst clock and saw the photo. I can't believe you found that for $12.00!!! It is an amazing clock. Very beautiful and I am extremely jealous but I will recover. So will my laptop after I clean the coffee off of it. Great score.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe it either, to me it seems like the really awsome finds happen at the tiny little thrift stores that not many people know about or want to bother with.
ReplyDeleteI found the clock at a little thrift store that supports the catholic church.
I hope the coffee came off your screen ;)
That clock was a great deal!
ReplyDeletewhere is a pic of the dresser?

ReplyDeleteIt was moved into a room that was a total disaster.. until I put it where it was intended to go. I did not want to show the messy storage room to blog people. haha
