Thrift Score Thursday 8

March 13, 2014 by Brynne 15 Comments

Woohoo! It’s week 8 of #thriftscorethursday and I am so ready to see the lovely and awesome things you guys found!

I struck out at all three thrift stores I visited last week, so it’s up to you to give me the encouragement I need to head out treasure hunting again!

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:

It was SO HARD to pick favorites this week. I seriously drooled over just about every find you guys posted! But in the spirit of not duplicating the entire #thriftscorethursday threads on Instagram and Twitter, I’ll force myself to choose…

Diana (Twitter: @DianaGalian) found this gorgeous midcentury chair on the side of the road. Let me repeat that for you: ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. Are you as jealous as I am? She’s having it reupholstered in something fabulous – I can’t wait to see how it turns out! Read her blog post about finding the chair here.

I love this beautiful vignette Aislinn (Instagram: aislinncbyrne) thrifted for under six dollars! The soft blues are gorgeous, and I’m especially fond of the demure young woman in the artwork! Aislinn’s Instagram account is full of inspiration – you should definitely go follow her!

And finally, I just have to share the genius hashtag that die-hard thrifter Turena (Instagram: tsfinds) coined for all the fun things she spots at thrift stores but doesn’t end up bringing home – #catchandrelease. Brilliant, right? Personally, I would have had a hard time leaving these owl bookends behind (you guys know how I am with ceramic animals…), but it’s always good to know where you stand on that line between collecting and hoarding 😉 Plus, the next thrifter is in for an awesome find!

My Find:

So, didn’t I just mention that I have a thing for ceramic animals?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Guilty as charged.

I call this my Patronus (Harry Potter for the win!). I love the crackled, ethereal aqua and pink finish. He guards my antique, and – naturally – color-coded, books.

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

    Thanks for the shout out Brynne! I love your sweet Patronus deer and Aislinn's lovely vintage portrait. It's wonderful to see all these "pre-loved" treasures getting a new lease on life 🙂

    I love your patronus. It is fantastic. Even more jealous of your beautiful copy of Little Women.

    Also jealous of that chair! What a find!

      Thank you Jenni 🙂 I used to obsessively collect old copies of books when I was a teenager (you know, instead of the more traditional stuff like cosmetics) which is why I now have a huge collection of antique books and zero makeup game 😉
