Thrift Score Thursday 16

May 8, 2014 by Brynne 15 Comments

Hello my dears! Welcome t0 Thrift Score Thursday! So sorry I missed out on hosting last week, but I had a fantastic thrift score Friday, snatched up some fun new finds, and I’m back with bells on!

New to #thriftscorethursday?

Simply snap a picture of any thrifty find or thrifted treasure and use #thriftscorethursday when you share on Twitter or Instagram!

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, Megan from Rental Revival, and I will pick a favorite thrift score or two 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:

Corinna from For My Love Of (Instagram: formyloveof) has some pretty sweet midcentury luck – I featured her lovely china cabinet find for Thrift Score Thursday 5. Check out this credenza she shared last week – aren’t those doors awesome? Pretty wood grain!

Debra from Eve Isle Studios (Instagram: eveislestudios) shared some awesome thrift finds last week on Instagram! My favorite was this pair of brass fighting roosters (Eek! Brass!). I actually spotted an identical pair on my local Craigslist recently and I’m kicking myself for not picking them up!

My find:

I’ve never seen one of these “100 year calendars” before I found two of these at Goodwill last week! I pounced on them and threw them in my basket before even checking the price tags. I assumed they would be fairly expensive (our Goodwill sometimes thinks it’s Neiman Marcus… we’re talking $8 for a printed dish, $50 for a creepy clown painting…), so I was excited to see they were labeled at $1.99 each!

They’re chilling on the dining room mantel because I just love the colors in there!

Have you ever seen anything like these? I’m mesmerized by the way they work!

Well, now I want to hear from you! Did you thrift this week? What did you find?

      I couldn't grab them fast enough 🙂 I don't "need" one, let alone two, but I sure want them! 🙂

    Seriously, those are absolutely gorgeous! The only thing I've seen similar to that is the astrological calendars. I remember spotting one at a Renaissance Faire and they were well over $200 (brand new). All the pieces on it were tiny and had tons of meaning.

      Ooh, those sound pretty sweet Trisha! I looked these guys up on Etsy and there are some pretty awesome versions! I might need to start a new collection…
