Thrift Store Finds

As promised here are some of my recent thrift store finds .

One of my favorite finds this summer at a garage sale was this vintage paper mache Easter Egg.  It is marked Made in Germany so likely pre-1973.  I have always wanted one of these and nearly ordered one this Spring off Etsy where they go for an average of $10-20 pus shipping.  I now officially have some Easter decorations (versus just boxes and boxes of Christmas decorations).

 I am a bit of a minimalist and collect very few things.  One thing I do collect are vintage and antique bottles.  I paid a bit more than normal for this old Slingers Wine bottle but loved the cap and it is quite large - $5 at one of my favorite charity thrift stores.

Now onto the clothing purchased in August.  My new part-time job is in an office setting but we are an internet based company so no general public comes to our offices.  As a result, we can wear what we wish (within limits, my supervisor joked no hootchie bikinis lol).  I prefer to wear nice casual tops with non-jean pants, as I don't wear jeans very often and don't feel comfortable wearing them there.  In August I went on a mini-thrift store clothing shopping spree.  All of the below came to a grand total of $22.37 for four shirts and two pairs of pants.  It pays to shop thrift stores!

Casual sweater, will likely be for home wear.

All one piece, my cheapest item at $1.23

So those were my finds in August.  Now I am going to have a very domestic weekend of cleaning house, cooking, doing some fall decorating with a few small pumpkins and a fall wreath that I have had for several years.  Cheers!
