I’m in love. I found a thrift store here that has my number, or rather, has the kind of donating clientele I dream of.
I’m not really a clothes thrifter, although I’m usually on the lookout for inexpensive sheets or tablecloths I can repurpose into something. Usually in places I’ve lived before, the thrift stores didn’t have much. Mostly stuff similar to what I would be donating (ie, 90’s clothes or old toys).
This thrift store has things like this:
Heaven help me if I ever met a piece of vintage serveware I didn’t like. And just in time for 4th of July, too! Not that I actually know enough people here in town yet to have a bbq. I found the platter the first time I visited. Today the dutchkid and I went back to explore a bit further, and I felt like a kid in a candy store… vintage patterns! records! I even saw a a couple of molded plywood chairs. I managed to restrain myself today and only came home with a tablecloth and a darling apron for the dutchkid.
This kind of store is going to be the end of me. Or at the least the end of any remaining storage space in my house.
My mom had that exeact platter. Brings back memories…
No way! How fun is that?!
LOVE IT.
Wow, that’s great. I would have some major heart pounding if I would have found that platter for sure! It’s those kinds of things I talk about on my blog as well. =D
I think I need to hit this thrift store too! I so far have had great ones in every location, so here’s hoping I can continue the trend!
That’s fantastic. Not much beats finding the perfect item while thrifting. The shops in my neck of the woods are hit and miss. Some days I find a ton but others – nothing. Check online to see if your shops have webpages. I’ve shopped at one place for several years and just found a “buy one item get one at 1/2 price” coupon on their site.
That is one cute serving plate!
