Introducing Thrift Score Thursday!

January 23, 2014 by Brynne 14 Comments

You guys, I’m super excited about this new blog series we’re kicking off today! Or should I say social-media-interaction-palooza?

I’m teaming up with the fabulous gals behind Black and White Obsession and Rental Revival to bring you #thriftscorethursday – your brand new one stop hashtag-to-glory! Each Thursday we’ll be sharing one of our thrift store scores or finds, and WE WANT YOU to join in!

we want you to share your thrift scores


Just snap a picture of any thrift-store treasure and use #thriftscorethursday when you share it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram!

Here’s an important note about Facebook hashtags: please make sure to set your post to public so we’ll be able to see it! It’s easy to change privacy settings for just that one post 🙂

We want to make this as easy and fun as possible, so there are just about no rules – it can be an awesome find you scooped up yesterday, your favorite thrift store score from ages past, something you saw and loved but didn’t have a place for at home, or even those hilarious “what-the-heck?” thrift store finds we all love so much!

Trisha, Megan and I will be keeping up with #thriftscorethursday on each social media platform – liking, loving, sharing, retweeting – we are so excited to hang out with you guys and gush over shared thrift-store love!

*Please note that by linking up with the thriftscorethursday hashtag, you are giving us permission to share your finds via social media or on our blogs.*

So here’s my thrift score I’m sharing today…

I have an addiction to vintage pop up books. Well, really any pop up book in general, but bonus points for adorable vintage illustrations! I snagged these three vintage pop up books on one Goodwill trip a while back for $1 each, and because I just can’t get enough of their detail and whimsy – I have to share some shots with you here on my blog!

Snow White – 1982, illustrations by V. Kubasta, printed in Czechoslovakia by ARTIA

There’s a even piece of plastic film to simulate the glass coffin!

Puss In Boots – 1982, illustrations by V. Kubasta, printed in Czechoslovakia by ARTIA

And my favorite, because the colorful 70’s illustrations are TO DIE FOR…

Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp – 1973, illustrated by Paul L. Taylor, Random House

Well, that’s my #thriftscorethursday share!

Don’t forget to check out the finds from Trisha & Megan!

    Those pop-up books are amazing! Bonus points for being printed in Czechoslovakia (I'm half Slovak). Now I feel like I'm gonna have to peruse the book section… I always pass it up!

      Yes, I always check the books! I have a box full of vintage children's books because I just can't pass them up, lol!

    Ohmygarsh I always skim passed the books section! I used to look for books with beautiful bindings for a coffee table collection but now I'm dying to find pop-ups. They were always my fav growing up! I almost forgot all about them. Thanks for sharing such a lovely find!

      Thanks Trisha! I got lucky and found these all on one trip – I haven't found any recently 🙁 but I always keep my eyes out for them!

    So jealous of those books! What a great score! I cannot wait to watch this series on Thursdays. It is a brilliant idea. I hardly ever make it to the thrift store. I have never found anything good. You are inspiring!

      Thank you Jenni 🙂 I love my thrift store trips – I used to religiously go Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings when I lived right down the street from one! Now it's every few weeks, and I don't find as many great treasures. I'm convinced the secret was popping in with such frequency!

    Love this series Brynne. Sorry I'm late! Bald is beautiful LOL and I love the books. I have a special connection to snow white. Even wrote about it on the blog 😉

    I haven't set foot in a thrift store since 2013. I'm trying to not accumulate more stuff before organizing the rest of my crap!
