Thrifting adventures this week
Posted on 06:35 by kumar
It's been super busy, so here are some highlights from this past week's thrifting adventures!
Here's my gal pal and fellow thrift/vintage style maven, Nadia, at the 50 percent off Stretch Thrift sale yesterday (sale continues today). Nadia struck an oh-so-chic pose in this crazy hat with basket to match! We laughed so hard ... Nadia and I always seem to go crazy in that store. I think we provide comic relief to the customers!
I picked up this little guy - a lama "piggy" bank, of all things, for 99 cents at the sale. Every time I look at it, I smile. What personality! I saw it a week ago and had a pal hid it under piles of stuff so no one would buy it and also so I could get it at the 50-off sale.
It wasn't that I didn't want to pay full price for it - I'm thrifty, not a cheapskate! - but I was in the shop with Nadia, and we were in such a silly mood that we thought it'd be a hoot to hide the little guy and come back for it later. I think our partner in crime, the person who did the hiding (who shall not be named) had fun too, so the shenanigan was def worth a good chuckle.
Last night after snapping the pic of Nadia and picking up the lama, we left the shop and saw this across the street - a retro 1970s car (I'm a chick, so don't ask me what make), replete with faux wood paneling and semi-grotesque 1970s colour! Love it!!
