Hello All!
I went thrifting last month on my birthday and it felt like a surprise birthday party just for me --look at the wonderful "gifts" I got found:
First up, this splendid cut glass box with working lock...
...and adorbs tiny key!
It was $9 but it was 50% off day (Happy Birthday to me, indeed!) so I paid $4.50. I {heart} anything ocean/beach/aquatic-related so this rattan-wrapped wire sea horse is a delight ($1.50).
As is this tiny silver plate whale ($2):
When I thrift, I have my go-to areas--glassware and housewares first, always. Then I check out lamps and furniture. Usually, I spend so much time in these sections that by the time I finish, Dan has finished looking in his go-to sections and we leave. This time, I ended up with extra time so I decided to spend it looking through the architectural section of the thrift store. It hadn't been anything special the few times I'd checked it out before. But now, I am now going to be sure to check it more often because of this:
A swoon-worthy Eastlake Victorian mirror:
(just a little side note--those faux hydrangeas came from Ikea! They were a great price and are really beautiful.) The cast iron bunny was a gift from Dan for Christmas.
I think it's exquisite :) It was $30. And finally, the big gift of the day -
I'm linking up!
