The Features:
My lovely friend Ranjani (Instagram: rsuek) found this darling Bavarian tea set at a garage sale, but the best part is the little note she found tucked inside that gives such a neat glimpse into the history of the set!
Kayla’s thrifting luck has been off the charts lately – just check out her Instagram profile (kainaible)! I’ve never seen anything like this amazing vintage globe bar, but it just makes me want to start drinking scotch and smoking cigars and talking philosophy while thumbing through leather-bound books… Too cool, Kayla!
My Find:
Who’s ready for a little Christmas in May? This week I scored these two boxes of almost-completely-new colorful glass Christmas ornaments still with the original price on the box of $19.99 each. I paid $4 for both boxes!
Thrifting Secret: if you buy holiday decorations at the thrift store out of season, the prices are rock bottom! If it were November or December, I would expect to see these boxes priced at $5-8 a piece… $4 for 47 (okay, one ornament is missing) colorful glass ornaments is a screaming good deal in my book. These bright colors are going to look awesome on my white Christmas tree!
Did you thrift this week? Share your thrift scores! Do you like to shop for holiday decorations year round too?








Be sure to hurry over and check out the finds and features from Trisha & Megan too!
Oh I kid you not, when I find Christmas ornaments thrifting in the summe and they work with the ideas in my head I snag them too 🙂
Now I'm already planning this year's Christmas tree 🙂 Colors everywhere!
Great finds. Love the ornaments – such a great deal.
I know! I'm so excited! I wanted colorful ornaments last year, but didn't want to spend any money on new stuff when I already had plenty of ornaments. Is it too early to put up my Christmas tree? 😉
Great finds! I always look forward to Thursdays on your blog!
Aw, yay! I'm so glad 🙂
Love the tea set! I'm from Bavaria but I have never seen one like it.
i want that bar set for my husband. I NEED IT. darn it.
Such a SCORE on those pretty bulbs. They totally look vintage! I'm sure they'll fill out your tree nicely this year!
Just bought the same bar globe, was wondering if anyone had some information on it?
I wish I had some info for you! Maybe try sharing a snapshot of your bar globe with the #thriftscorethursday group on Instagram and see if anyone has any suggestions? It’s a pretty fantastic community! Just make sure your settings are public so everyone can see the photo!
