Instead of doing a thrifty finds post like I normally do, where I show everything off in a big pile, I'm going to show three of my favorite finds from last weekend and tell a little about them.
1 // This beautiful table. We're kind of working on redoing our living room in a style that is more suited to us. We're approaching two years in this house (so crazy!) and I'm bored with the living room decor. My style is evolving and I'm figuring out more and more what I like. This table is exactly what I was looking for, so you can only imagine my excitement when I found it for $5.99. Yep, FIVE DOLLARS AND NINETY NINE CENTS. I still can't believe it.
2 // This little skunk avon bottle. I found this in Goodwill along with the rest of a MASSIVE collection of avon perfumes and aftershaves. All were in their original boxes and in amazing shape. I'm not particularly attracted to avon things, but I'm crazy for any collection of things no matter how silly they are. Kevin and I went through every single one of them admiring how neat they were and what unique shapes the bottle were. a ship, a gun, a deer, a cat, a cannon, a donkey with a bonnet, a train, etc. But this is the one that caught my attention. I absolutely adore the packaging. Plus it smells so good, kind of like my mom. It's a very comforting scent. I'm really excited to bring home a part of someone's treasured collection, it's like having a unique connection with a stranger.
3 // This cat watch!! I've been looking for this watch for a few months. I saw it in at least two fellow blogger's thrift finds and knew there had to be one out there waiting for me. So I started looking in the jewelry counters at thrift stores, a place I normally try to avoid (I don't want the inevitable "can I help you"). Finally over the weekend I found it and at 99 cents I had to bring it home despite the fact it doesn't work. I'm definitely going to look into getting it fixed. My favorite part, other than the mouse the moves as the second hand, is the fact it's on a nice band. It doesn't look like it was made for children, it was meant for a cat lady!
We also bought a new couch last night! I'm so very excited, yet completely nervous since it'll be a big change and we're not quite sure what to do with out massive couch that we have now. I can't wait to bring home our pretty new golden, vintage couch!!
