Tricks or treats?

A quick stop to the Goodwill Outlet shortly before Halloween, revealed a handful of treats and a few tricks as well. The collection of vintage 8mm horror movies were definitely a treat…but a few silver pieces that seemed to be stamped as sterling but turned out to likely be silver plated were a little bit of a trick (but I should know better). None the less, it was a good haul. Here’s the video link for this set of finds: https://youtu.be/LuSxNv1RbYo

Hodge Podge

In addition to being a hodge podge of stuff (like always), this post is a hodge podge of several different thrifting outings that I’ve done recently. Check out the video of this batch of finds here: https://youtu.be/_8I4YehFAuA

Finding lots of vintage goodies also means I’ve had new materials to use for making new vintage-inspired creations. Take a look of some of the new “100% recycled” projects I’ve completed:

Haul vs. Haul

I did a little Goodwill Outlet shopping and also did some garage sale and estate sale shopping. Which yielded better results? You be the judge!

First: the Garage Sale and Estate Sale Haul

And here are my finds from the Goodwill Outlet…

I spent about the same on both these hauls. Which one do you think I got more value from?

Trash to Treasure

This week’s treasures are the result of some finds from a few Garage Sales and two of the Goodwill Outlets in Indianapolis. Several of my garage sale finds were a little on the dusty side…but they cleaned up pretty well in the end.

I also experimented with making some “paperdolls” using the cover of vintage record albums. It took a little time and a lot of patience, but I’m relatively happy with the result.
