Good morning, friends! Raise your hand if you got your thrift on last week? (*Raises both hands.*) Two friends from our church came and took me out on a thrift shopping extravaganza last week and we explored a slew of different thrift stores.
I was even introduced to the most amazing heaven-on-earth local thrift store (!!!) but we showed up five minutes before they closed so I wasn’t able to spend the hours there that it merited… I’ve been dreaming about it ever since and I can’t wait to stop by again and take tons of pictures to share with you, plus spend my life savings there!
My Find:
I was mid-sentence at Goodwill when I caught a glimpse of this on the other side of the shelves and abruptly stopped speaking and rushed around to grab it. I’ve had a Moroccan leather pouf on my wish list for years, so finding this one (even though it’s a mini version) for $2.99 was so exciting!
The brass chair was a $15 (yep, you read that right!) Craigslist find that never quite got a proper blog post.
So now you know! Needlepoint pillow // Lucite coffee table
The pouf still needs a little more stuffing (I’ll have to pick up some cheap pillows at the thrift store next time around), but look at that pretty tan leather! I’m loving it.
The Features:
Freshly picked from the #thriftscorethursday feed for your viewing pleasure…
We’ve been talking about vintage art so much around here lately, is it any surprise that I can’t resist featuring this whimsical dog portrait Dee (@renewedbydeezign) shared? And I thought Brad Pitt as a Russian general (affiliate link for you enjoyment) was suave… He’s got nothing on this dapper little fellow!
I just love tales of serendipity like this! Sarah-Marie (@silver.and.pine) found one of these mirrors at Goodwill last year, and then stumbled across its twin recently! How crazy is that?! Plus, they are absolutely stunning.
Mmm… More lovely vintage art to inspire! I adore this gallery wall Mary (@athomeonthebay) pulled together! Isn’t this just the loveliest corner?
Speaking of places I would love to curl up with a good book… Shannon (@aninspirednest) shared this snapshot of her dreamy window seat, featuring her latest estate sale finds – those gorgeous vintage books and that sweet crocheted bedspread! You know I love me some beautiful books!
Finally, I’ve got so much to say about this shot shared by Erica (@ericareitman), featuring tons of beautiful vintage and thrifted finds, but I’ll just sum it up with a simple #lifegoals.
I mean – my dream zebra, my dream caramel leather couch, my dream fiddle leaf fig (and yes, it is faux, which is absolutely genius!) Maybe one day I’ll be as cool as Erica? #lifegoals

Okay the pouf is awesome, but that chair! You know how I feel about chairs… and as always I love seeing everyone’s finds only I wish I had gotten to them first 😉
Thank you Maggie! 🙂 I edited the post to add that the chair was a $15 Craigslist score – I’ll remember to tag #moschairjunkie when I share it on Instagram!
LOOOVE your pouf! and we had a couple of the same features- the dog, i mean how could i not?!?!?
Thanks Cassie! Yes, that dog is so awesome!!! I need to find one just like it… Or with a cat instead! 🙂
Love all these pics and that pouf is such a great find! And yeah… I need Erica’s coffee table (and… everything) in my life.
Thanks Arielle! Oh yes, I kind of want to just recreate her living room in my house… But maybe it would be easier to just move myself into her place? 😉
Oh soooo many good finds this week! Your $15 chair = HELLO GORGEOUS! Those mirrors are pretty amazing, too!
Thanks Kristen! Oh yes, those mirrors! How lucky to find not one but two?!
Love the pouf! You always get the best finds! Sadly I haven’t found anything while thrifting lately…hopefully my luck will change soon!
The design on the leather pouf is amazing!! Looking forward to seeing more of the new thrift store you found!
Thanks girl! Oh my gosh, I can’t wait to make it back there… Think antique mall type finds with Craigslist prices!
