Happy Thursday friends! Good week so far?
I might be a little biased because it was my birthday yesterday (did you see my Instagram post where I shared a few facts about myself?) and because I’ve been finding some fantastic things for the house lately… so overall I’d say it’s been a lovely week!
My Find:
You guys, I was so excited when I found this little malachite and brass trinket dish/bowl/box (whatever you would call it)! I seriously couldn’t even believe it – this malachite-loving girl has never been lucky enough to find the real thing before. It felt like a birthday present from the universe, just sitting there on the shelf waiting for me!
It’s covered with slices of malachite inside and out, top and bottom!
Also thrift finds: the table cloth, hot pink vintage book, and marble vase that was a thrifted gift from a sweet friend!
Thrift Score Thursday Features
And now for this week’s features from the #thriftscorethursday Instagram feed!
Are you following the wonderful Rosie (@rosie.case) yet? This local DFW gal has the most stunning neutral modern glam style and I periodically go through and just drool over all her photos. Love this footed brass duck she recently found!

And I am just all about carved wooden statues right now! How amazing is this sultry mermaid just hanging out on Whitney (@heavythreads)’s hearth?

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of beautiful compilations of vintage art. These pieces from Juls (@ourgentlemadness) are lovely individually, but also almost create a new piece of art grouped together like this!
Taking in this gorgeous shot from Katie (@thetangledlady), I wonder how the decorating world could have turned its back on oak and wood tones for so long? I love the way everything works together on her mantel and hearth!

Again, making my case for embracing wood tones, is this dining nook from Susie (@susiebrown), featuring a thrifted rattan pendant and Mid-Century chairs she found on Craigslist. So good!

Can you believe the things some people just throw away? These rattan sectional pieces Astrid (@insieme_house) shared literally came out of the trash – thankfully her husband rescued them for their back deck!

I always love seeing what Rafael (@thebeauideal) is finding, but I especially adore this shot of his view from the couch in his living room, full of incredible vintage finds! I think that lucite/glass obelisk needs to join my collection, don’t you?

I love those little bowls. I need them to go with my malachite tray! I also want to say I thought of you immediately when I say that obelisk on Thebeauideal’s coffee table. I’ll let you have it if I can have the rest of the room! Such great finds.
Yes, our malachite finds would go together PERFECTLY! And if I can have the obelisk, I guess you have yourself a deal 😉
i loooove your little box! and i loved that magical mermaid, too!
Thank you Cassie! I desperately need a mermaid like that in my life!
What a delicate and beautiful little box. The color is gorgeous. Such a nice find!
Thank you, Mila! And we had such a great time with you guest hosting with us!
Those are some really great scores.
The dish is ravishing.
That footed duck. Want.
Mid-century anything… I go ga-ga.
Love, love, love.
Thank you, Pat! It’s always so fun to see what everyone is finding each week – I only wish they could all come live with me! 😀
GIRLFRIEND, that malachite dish was made for you! What a wonderful gift from the universe.
I couldn’t even believe it! I was so excited!
It really is amazing what people discard! Really fun finds, thanks for sharing!! (And happy birthday! ?)
Thank you so much, Carina! (And sorry for the belated comment reply!)
Love your malachite box
Thank you, Julia! It’s one of my faves!
