Woot! my first Flea Market Finds on the new blog, nothin' like a good thrift share to get the blogger ball rolling.
I wasn't confident I was going to get any thrifting done this week. Our car was stolen on Wednesday night which has meant being stuck at home with the kids for the most part (blurgh!). However, on my way to pick up a hire car on Saturday (from the aptly named 'Rent a Bomb') I stopped in at the local St Vinnies and came out with a nice little swag of booty. The tapestry is cute and the rug is pretty sweet too, but it's the coat hangers that got my heart beating. The woven plastic hangers are so difficult to find these days and they just look so damn good, almost like they're made out of boiled lollies.
The tapestry and rug are both heading the market in a couple of weeks, but the coat hangers are destined to make my wardrobe look pretty.
For more thrifty luck, pop over and see Apron Thrift girl and Sophie from Her Library Adventures.
Toodlepip!
sorry about your car Estelle...that really sucks. We've rented a few bombs in our time too...a car is only a car though and as long as it gets you to and fro who cares what it looks like! I love all of your pretty and delicious looking finds.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! these pictures have made my day! so bright and gorgeous and full of vintage loveliness!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry your car got stolen thats got to be the worst feeling in the world. Rent a bomb though? Thats an awesome name! Great crocheted goodies, soooo granny chic!
ReplyDeleteThat's no good at all about your car. Loving all those vintage coathangers, rugs and prints.
ReplyDeleteI had that green blanket (with green satin trim) on my bed growing up in the 70's. My sister had fairy floss pink. Sorry about your car.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the thrift love and car sympathy everyone.
ReplyDeleteoh big hugs, sorry about the car. Love your finds, I've a few of those plastic woven hangers too... love them more than the crochet/knit ones.♥
ReplyDeleteI also love the patterned 'stickytape' you put on your photos..so cleaver.
These pics are great. I think my nanna has some of those plastic covered coat hangers- might have a look next time I am there! Sorry about your car troubles too, I can totally sympathise at the moment xx
ReplyDelete'Rent a Bomb'? Seriously? heh. Sorry about your car, there are some right scumbags out there. At least the Gods of thrift were smiling on you - love love love the coathangers!
ReplyDeleteOh my word - what yummy finds! I adore those coat hangers too and always snavel them when I see them :)
ReplyDeleteSucks about your car, glad you have a cute replacement now though :)
Loving your new look xx
