Once again, I’m mixing both thrift finds and consignment finds in this monthly update. I only get the opportunity to do some consignment scrounging a few times a year, so I wanted to be sure to share some of my HOLY WOW finds.
Let’s start by checking out some home goods!
MCM Bamboo bowl, $12
You all know how much I love me some mid-century modern, so this bowl was an instant YES from me. It’s a MCM bamboo fruit bowl, but I have it sitting next to my reading spot as an adorable catch-all for my reading glasses, bookmark and chapstick.
Pink Gooseberry Pyrex bowl, $8
Pink Pyrex for less than a tenner?! That’s a ‘start the car’ moment for me. This was happily added to my Pyrex collection!
Rifle Paper Co x Corkcicle travel mugs, $18 each
Sigh. It was like these were just waiting for me to find them. I looooove Corkcicle mugs (they keep your cold stuff cold and your hot stuff hot) and I also looooove Rifle Paper Co’s floral designs. So, when I saw these two ‘new with tags’ travel mugs for $18 each (retail $40 each), I immediately added them to my arm full of stuff I was juggling. And I have used one of these pretty much every single day since I bought them (and washed them) for sipping my cold ice water all day long.
Nemadji Pottery wedding vase, $16 and Southwestern Sand pottery vase, $18
Did I need these? No. Did I immediately love them and want to add them to my desk where I could stare dreamily at them while thinking about all our Arizona and Utah adventures? Yes.
Okay, now on to the clothing purchases!
Torrid dress, $15
Once again, a ‘new with tags’ item, this time it was a $60 dress from Torrid. It’s such a happy orange color and even has pretty embroidered detailing on the bust, so I figured I’d give it a try. I already wore it to my niece’s birthday and plan to get in a couple more wears before summer disappears.
Gingham Skirt, $10
I liked the tiered gingham of this skirt and the fabric is a great weight too. However, I knew immediately that I hated the runched waistline and I planned to chop it off and add in some new elastic. It was a quick and easy project and now I have a super cute gingham skirt for all my twirling needs.
Sorel sandals, $20
This was the ‘I didn’t know my closet needed these’ item, because these were ‘new with tags’ and a great deal, so I bought them on a whim. However, I had no idea how much I needed a pair of comfortable metallic sandals… because I’ve worn these probably a half-dozen times since buying them this month.
Swedish Hasbeen Huarache Debutant sandals, $6.79
YOU GUYS! These are an insane find at Goodwill and I can’t believe they are in my size and in perfect condition. Swedish Hasbeen’s are so timeless and so freaking expensive. I tracked down this particular style and it was released as part of their Spring/Summer 2016 collection and they retailed for around $300. It looks like someone bought them and just let them hang out in their closet unworn for 8 years… because they are absolutely perfect. I’m imagining how cute they will look paired with tights and skirts this fall!
Wow, what a great haul! I love everything. The corksickle tumblers are adorable, and allof your vases, cute! The debutant sandals, I could see with your gingham skirt. Really nice stuff! Have fun using them.
Thanks so much Nancy!
What great finds this month!! I look forward to your thrift haul posts every month. I love Pyrex bowls too! The one you found is the same pattern as one that was passed down to me from my grandmother. This is one of the most unusual ones I found while thrifting: https://pyrex.cmog.org/pattern-library/snowflake-black
I am also a huge fan of Rifle Paper Company and love the Corkcicle travel mugs you found.
Thanks Kim! I’ve never seen the black snowflake Pyrex in person and I’m sure it’s beautiful!
