The Goods//Suburban Thrifted Loot

Whoah, totally fell off there on the blogging front...sorry dudes!  I've spent the past couple of days in my hometown, and of course I made sure to get a moment in at the thrift shop.  Since no one I know around there enjoys an adventure rooting through other people's discarded junk, and I don't have my own wheels to get there myself, I had to compromise.  I spent about 20 minutes in a mad power shop, driving my cart up and down the aisles in a frenzy, while my mother hung out in the book section waiting for me.  The outcome?  Not the most successful trip, but I did find a few pretty cute things.  Want to take a look?


Ok, full disclosure, I didn't actually find the brownie camera there.  It belonged to my friend's grandmother, and they had no use or desire to hang on to it anymore so it was offered to me.  Um, yes please!! Such a great gift!  I am still thinking about where to display it in my house, although I love the packaging too, so I can't decide if it should be in the box or out.


I love this psychedelic pattern fabric so much.  I am thinking about making some pillows from it, maybe a curtain, it is a big piece so the options are good.  A couple other basic finds, and finally picked up a macrame plant hanger.  There was also this massive orange one, which I am kicking myself for not buying, but you know how it goes at the thrift, I was standing there debating $3.99, because all the other ones were .99, it didn't seem worth it at the time.  Oh well.


Oh, and check out these bonkers lamps.  I saw them from literally the other end of the store and had to beeline over there to check them out.  They are so ugly but so good.
