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!
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
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!
Now we want to hear from you! Seriously: we’re sitting here at our keyboards and smartphones ready and waiting! Hashtag away!
so fun! i need to get in on this! i have been out of the thrift store action for a bit- too busy with the holidays etc. time to jump in!
Yes! Please do! You can even add the #thriftscorethursday tag to an existing Instagram photo in a comment and show off one of your awesome brass animals 😉
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!
oh fun fun fun I want to join!!
Yay! Please do!
Oh, I love those books! Super great score!
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!
Omigosh, excited for this…I know it's Friday, but I have a fun one to share!! 🙂 Not so much a treasure as an…interesting find. 😛
Tania, I'd love for you to share it anyway! We can be totally flexible on the whole "thursday" thing 😉
