the last two weeks have been amazing for lucking out on the best thrifted treasures. i try to stop by any thrift store if i have time when i am out and about, you never know what you'll find! i had been on the hunt for specific items, and it took me weeks, but i finally found what i was looking for! {YAY}
i had been specifically looking for clogs. i desperately want to invest in a pair of swedish hasbeens but just can't bring myself to spend the money [right now] when i know there HAS to be a pair sitting in a goodwill somewhere with my name on them. well guess what? i found a pair! yes! hallelujah! but that was only the second best find. come see what else i found! plus, chelsea included a few of her favorite recent vintage finds as well!

1 . last week i mentioned i got a record player, and yep i sure did thrift it. i found this record, cd, radio, and cassette player at goodwill for $40, which isn't super thrifty of me, but it is the exact crosley i've wanted from target for at least 2 years. so, i scored.
and obviously you can't have a record player without records! these are few i have found at thrift stores and in the clearance section of a local record shop.
2. i bought this jewelry box for $5 at goodwill. it has tons of space for rings and all my small earrings.
3. i picked up this crocheted avocado green and white blanket, handmade and basically in brand new condition yesterday along with this arts & crafts book from the 70's containing tutorials for batik, needlepoint, and of course macrame, among other 70's crafts. i can't wait to do some diy's!
4. this ceramic jar with a lid and green glass bottle sit on my shelf, waiting to hold important things and flowers, i guess!
5. this framed floral wall hanging is still waiting to be hung somewhere in my room. since redecorating, i'm loving pops of this avocado green throughout my room.
6. i found this forever 21 mustard floral top for a few dollars, along with this small genuine leather bag at the same goodwill. and the clogs! i scored them at st. vincent de paul, out in the middle of nowhere. they are a little tight on the top of my foot so i am working on stretching them, but i love them. genuine leather, 'nordstrom' brand. still on the hunt for a tan or brown pair though! oh, did i mention they were only $2????!!! [whaaat!]

1. a ring and clip on earrings.
2. i have been trying to de-Pyrex and sell some of my collection but this is my favorite print so i had to buy it!
3 . vintage glass juice canister in mint condition, looks like it has never been used!
4 . a set of 5 1960's party glasses for $10!!!
happy thrifting!

Thrifting is my favorite hobby! And speaking of hobbies, I just taught myself how to knit a few weeks ago and I remembered that early on in your guys' blog, you had mentioned starting a feature called "knit it out". If you're still interested in doing that, I would love to read about it :). Keep blogging - you guys are fabulous!
