thrift finds

this is a larger pinboard, the kind that retails $40 or more new. you can see from my shadow i really had to raise my arm to get the whole thing in a picture lmao. unfortunately i forgot to take a photo before i started painting it, so the pic is from after i'd started. o...ops :,)

jasmine is my fave disney princess. she usually goes for $15-$30 new, so hermes smiled

god these are cute

i saw these several times before i bought them. the first two times i told myself i didn't need them, but if they were still there a third time i'd get them. then the next time we went to the store they weren't there... then the next time we went they were. sometimes it feels like hermes wants me to have specific things lol

a little tin shaped like a little house! all the sides have the print on it and the colors are so, so cute. my fave details are the cat in the window and how the lid is actually pyramid shaped like a roof would be

i screamed in delight when i saw her at the store bc i legit had her on my amazon wishlist, where she retailed for $18. the lady who checked me out even asked me why i was so excited lol

for the price, she was a "sure, why not?" purchase, and i'm really glad i got her. i realized once i got home that i would have regretted not getting her

pom pom purin is.... not my fave sanrio character :,) but i mean. come on. how could i leave him? he's got hello kitty's bow on the pineapples of his swimming trunks for god's sake

ok so. this movie is trash. but it's exactly the violent kinda trash i enjoy and i was delighted to add it to my dvd collection so cheaply

more expensive than i like to pay normally, but it's large and structured, and the color is so cute. it's got plenty of pockets to keep things organized too! i was wearing my rainbow boots the night i found it, and the purple matches perfectly lol

i'm not sure if this is truly vintage, but it is official strawberry shortcake merchandise. it included a little matching spoon! way too cute to pass up

these fit perfectly and god are they cute. defo a statment piece in my wardrobe

labyrinth is one of my favorite films, so even though it was a little more expensive than i usually like to pay, i couldn't just leave it lol

they honestly are pristine??? new volumes are roughly $15-$20 depending on where you buy, so i made out like a bandit. charlie technically found them, and bc i like other works by this author and intended to collect everything they've got published. i... might have... snatched them out of his hands... not my proudest moment, but all's fair in thrifting and war

$10

how fucking cute is this??? it makes perfect cupcakes too

i had been looking for a powder puff and found this right on time! ty based hermes

technically, the bunny itself holds powder, but i didn't trust the powder in it bc i didn't know how old it was, so i dumped it out and i don't store my powder in it. (older talcum powders can contain asbestos, a carcinogen. watch out if you find products with powder while thrifting!) i use the powder puff tail, tho!

i actually had wanted a foot bath for a while, but kept putting it off bc they're often $40+ brand new. then hermes blessed me and i found this lol

this is honestly one of the prettiest bowls i've ever seen. i almost passed on it, because it was $5... but then hermes blessed me and i noticed it had a 50% off tag. score!!!

i immediately knew i had to have this as soon as i saw it. hilariously it still had a tj maxx price tag on it, and it had been $15 even there. (since they're a discount reseller i shudder to think how much it originally cost lol.) i noticed it wasn't even this shade of pink before, because there were scratches that showed the original colors, along with the bottom not being painted. this thing had gone through three paint jobs before i got my hands on it - and of course i've painted it too, lol

it's perfect for my nail polish collection and to display my statement earrings

this was an accident. when i found it, i thought it was a fan, so i got it thinking it'd keep me cooler in summer. it's actually a heater :,) i mean... i've been using it in winter, so it was still a great find, just a funny one

oh my god. jesus christ. i can't handle this

i just think it's neat and perfect to hold my fave candy. it fits perfectly on top of my desk and holds my notebooks up

i think this was orignally a carnival prize, based on the stuffing inside. still super cute. my only complaint is i wish it had the original share bear tummy mark with the milkshake, but that's just a care bears in general nitpick :,)

when i saw this, i immediately told charlie, "omg, we can bring coffee with us and have a gay picnic day for pride!" he chimed in with, "at the cemetary!" another shopper in the store walking by said, "that's a fabulous idea," to us, and honestly i had to get it after that

absolute fucking unit. manatees are my fave animal, he was cheap, and he's gigantic. i love him so much. picture of him next to my head for comparison

this is kidrobot brand. originally it retailed for $20, but now they go for a fair price, i suppose due to their branding and cuteness? i originally got it to be an asshole and resell, but now it lives in my plushie net

i actually got three of these! even though they were ugly as sin before i painted them, they were so cheap and useful i went ahead with the purchase. so glad i did lol. one is the atlus to my nail polish susan, and the other two are in my bathroom and kitchen cabinets making my life easier

every thrifter is probably familiar with these worthless avon perfume bottles saturating the stores, lmao. but... there's just something so sweet about this one i can't help but adore it

i found this so recently after moving and needing a table lamp that it had to have been fate. the shade hangs a bit low, but that's my only gripe. they go for $30 (or more depending on the retailer) new, so score!

admittedly a very simple if not boring find, but i think it's super cute for $.50

i fell in love with these without knowing they're popular in the vintage pastel community. i did a double take when i saw a tumblr post with the print making the rounds. easily my fave set of sheets

i got these the same day i got the rainbow sheets, and once again i was shocked when i saw a separate tumblr post about this making the rounds lol

this also functions as a radio and nightlight. i found this while thrifting and was delighted... then a few days later i was shopping at toys'r'us (before they closed) and found them still being sold brand new there! so then i was double delighted to have gotten this for a steal lol
