May 28, 2015 by Brynne 19 Comments

Welcome to Thrift Score Thursday, my friends! I hope your week has been fantastic! Are you ready to join our fantastic hashtag party in celebration of vintage and thrifted finds?

Thrift Score Thursday #thriftscorethursday

The Facts:

  • You can share any thrifty finds with us – whether they hail from a thrift store, Craigslist, estate sale, garage sale, side of the road, or apartment dumpster! The fun, the funny, the awesome, the odd – this hashtag party is open to all!
  • Feel free to use #thriftscorethursday any day of the week! We’ll be keeping up with the hashtag all week long to find our favorites for the following Thursday.
  • Each week, Trisha from Black and White Obsession, Cassie from Primitive and Proper, Corinna from For My Love Of and I (plus a special weekly guest host!) will pick a few favorite thrift scores to feature! So please note that by linking up with#thriftscorethursday, you are giving us permission to share your finds via social media or on our blogs.

The Features:

Kristy from Robb Restyle (Instagram: robbrestyle) shared this gorgeous shot of her vintage bottle vase. What a simple but lovely statement piece!

I adore the colors in this afghan Meg (Instagram: megknitshit) scored for $3 at the thrift store! I’m super jealous because I’ve been looking for something exactly like this lately – wouldn’t it be just perfect in the “Nautical Naturalist” guest room?

These Mid Century chairs Karrie (Instagram: makerofhome) found on Craigslist and then recovered with a Pendleton wool blanket are incredible! I love the shape of the walnut leg/arm combination! Get more details on them on her blog.

When Kim (Instagram: refound_vintage) said that this vase was an awful shade of pink when she found it at the thrift store, I could instantly picture said shade of pink (hello 80’s!) and I’ll admit – I knew I wouldn’t have seen the potential in it! A new coat of white paint is miraculous, isn’t it? Love your vision, Kim!

My Find:

You already saw this thrift score in yesterday’s post, but I saved the closeups for today! I found this oak and brass ship’s wheel clock a few weeks ago for $8 at Goodwill and waffled a little over the price. (You guys, I know, I am so cheap. But I need to be, or I could spend a literal fortune on cool vintage finds.)

But once I saw the way the cool glass porthole window unlatched and lifted up from the clock face, I knew I had to take it home.

I wasn’t able to find the exact same clock online, but I did find this very similar one selling on Amazon for $230! (Affiliate link just in case you feel like buying a $230 clock today.) So after all, I don’t feel so bad about spending $7.99.

Let’s hear from you! What have you found recently? Share using #thriftscorethursday!

    I just bought that clock through your link. You’re welcome. Kidding! But I’d snatch it up for $8 🙂

      Hahaha. I mean, if you think about it, I saved $222 just by buying it at the thrift store… Funding MORE thrift shopping!

    Porthole?! and a clock?! No Stinkin’ way!! LUCKY!

    I don’t think I would have been able to see the potential in the vase that Kim snagged either. Of course it depends on the shade of pink, most bold ones have me running to the hills ha!

      The vase is one of those pieces that would look so dated in its original color but looks so fresh and modern in white… Seriously one of my favorite #thriftscorethursday makeovers!

    I’m not sure what kind of person would be in the market for a $200+ clock, but good for them. I really love the clock you found, it’s so unique!

      Haha, who knows? Evidently there’s a market! I’m just glad that the person who bought the $200+ clock decided to give it to Goodwill 🙂
