First post ~just a tease [12 Jul 2009|07:50pm] thriftwhore [honkytonkdolly] [ mood | accomplished ] Thrifting is part of my daily routine, so my home is pretty much filled with thrifted items. Here are a few of my most recent finds. Found at an Arc thrift store in Colorado paid $14 for it, but I couldn't leave it there... ( Image heavy post ) 21 comments|post comment

My New Desk Chair [12 Jul 2009|09:03am] thriftwhore [kkatielynn] I think it's a Cramer Desk Chair (the C is missing from the back) and probably circa 1970s. I got it for $3.50. It still swivels and rolls perfectly. I love it. It's my new desk chair. 8 comments|post comment

this weeks finds [11 Jul 2009|01:47pm] thriftwhore [petitparade] I'm really excited about a few of these and no one else gets it so I'm happy to share here. Old Books from Peninsula Rescue Mission Thrift Store $2 for all. I went to a new thrift store called Morning Star Thrift Store. The place was really junky (and kinda smelled funny) but they had so many old books (it was like a book graveyard!) and a ton of vintage suitcases (I got the trunk though). I was a little worried that they were going to charge me a ton for the things I picked out (because they were price at the counter) but the guy said $7.35 for the four books and my trunk and I was like SOLD! If I hadn't been so excited to pay for my stuff and get it in my car I probably would have bought a TON more books. Note I found tucked inside Modern Biology. ( More Old Books, an Old Trunk, Furniture and Vintage Dresses! ) 23 comments|post comment

[10 Jul 2009|01:45pm] thriftwhore [darkanddusty] The Good News: I found my camera charger!  (... it was still plugged in to the outlet where I last charged the battery. *sigh*) The Better News: More pictures!  I went to four of the five Goodwills in the area yesterday (the fifth is... icky) and have also been frequenting a couple of resale shops, a used book store, and this inexpensive little antique store I'd never been to before.  So I have a lot to share... ;D [[ IMAGE HEAVY ]] ( Lots o' good stuff... and mugs, of course! ) 20 comments|post comment

SCORE! My latest finds! [09 Jul 2009|10:41pm] thriftwhore [lyonessnyc] [ mood | bouncy ] I've picked these items up since my last post, a few weeks ago. At another community member's suggestion, I also have checked out the Housing Thrift store in Brooklyn -- AWESOME stuff. I happened to go there on a half-price day on housewares, so everything I bought there was half price! I didn't have time to check out the clothes, so I only got the housewares. The rest of the stuff is from my favorite SallyArmy shop, with one Freecycled item. Very picture-heavy post under the cut. Everything is safe for work. Here goes!( Happy happy joy joy thrift joy! ) So those are my latest finds. I hope you've enjoyed my post! I certainly enjoyed finding the stuff. Now if I can only get my husband to forgive me for going thrifting again...! ETA PSA: I know there are people here who love the mushroom stuff. I spotted a couple of cute mushroom canisters at the Salvation Army on Steinway Street in Astoria, Queens, NY on Wednesday. I didn't note what they were marked, but they probably weren't much. If you're local and are into that stuff, check it out!   20 comments|post comment
