Thrift Score Thursday 18

May 22, 2014 by Brynne 15 Comments

Welcome to the 18th #thriftscorethursday – a fantabulous hashtag party on Instagram & Twitter hosted by Black and White Obsession, Rental Revival, and yours truly, and featuring the best thrifty finds of all time as shared by YOU!

Ready to rock another #thriftscorethursday?

we want you to share your thrift scores

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:

Melissa from The Sweet Escape (Instagram: sweet_escape_) has a killer eye for vintage pieces, design, and photography. You are going to want to follow her Instagram feed – total eye candy! She shared two gorgeous green finds that I loved so much I had no choice but to feature both of them!

Last week I shared my own thrift score lamp pair, but I’ll confess – I’d trade them for these midcentury beauties in a heartbeat:

And I love the gorgeous glaze on this unique pottery holder, especially paired with that gold flatware! Gorgeous!

Way back for Thrift Score Thursday Week 3, I featured an awesome glass hippo cookie jar from Turena (Instagram: tsfinds). Well, would you believe it – this week, she scored a matching glass owl jar! I think this is the start of a fantastic collection, Turena 🙂

My Find:

My #thriftscorethursday find this week is a little oddball, but I love it! I spotted this little leopard sitting on the shelf at Goodwill a few weeks ago, thought it was adorable, put it in my basket, carried it around the store, and then decided not to buy anything that day because the lines were long and really – did I really need another animal figurine? (Um, yes, Brynne. You do. Always.)

When I went back the following week and the little leopard was still there, I knew I had to take him home this time. Something about the sweet hand painted face and those little black polka dots… What can I say, I’m obsessed.

I got him home and plopped him on my dresser next to this serendipitously pooled pearl necklace and loved the combo so much I think I’ll have to leave my jewelry sitting out permanently!

Please reign in your interventions. My animal figurine purchases are hardly out of control yet. I mean, I only have a life-size Boston terrier statue, white ceramic otter, brass deer pair, brass ibex, brass swan pair, ceramic deer, and little rabbit pitcher… There’s totally room for more in my menagerie!

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

      It's pretty much my calling in life to be an enabler and coach people into feeding all sorts of addictions – gold leaf, brass, thrifting, ceramic animals… You're welcome 😉
