Weekend Thrift Finds: the short-lived thrifting break ends

 Sooo....remember back here on the 15th when I said I was taking a thrifting break for a while? That lasted about a week before I caved. I was in the thrift store to get stuff for Halloween costumes and couldn't resist a look around...


Vintage Hull white pottery urn. I've said it before, and it holds true: I cannot resist urn-shaped vintage pottery! I sold a similar one at my second market. I try to be really selective about the vintage planters I buy but this one had pretty gold glaze detailing over the pale green that reminded me of the scales on a pinecone. It's filled with vintage Shiny Brites.
A new-but-vintage-style Fiesta sugar and creamer set. I don't even collect Fiestaware but the color is so gorgeous I had to grab it! This will head to my Etsy shop.
Again with the vintage planter buying. This one is marked Wm. Frazier Briar Calif and I love the bright green color. It matches the green McCoy log planter I bought a few weeks ago. (Note to self: QUIT BUYING PLANTERS!)
Repro brass letter stencil wall hangings from Urban Outfitters. The M is hanging in Maren's room and the b and A are waiting in the wings for some clever use.
Vintage sparklies and a sweet Eiffel Tower pin marked 'Paris'. Need I say more?

Up tomorrow: Halloween pictures (finally!)

  1. I would have picked up everything you got, well, um, maybe not the two rectangular planters! They are nice looking though! Love the jewelry!

  3. Stop buying planters????? Never!

    I have at least two full sets of those brass stencils, but I have never used them for anything. Now I realize that i MUST get them out and put them to work. I usually put out my marquee letter words. But, I see the brass would be better for Fall and Christmas. Thanks!
