Thrift Haul: Delicious Retro Scores

'Twas a chaotic weekend for me! This thrift haul is actually from last weekend, I decided to split it in half because of the sheer amount of finds. See that cute little brown lamp pictured? It fell and broke before I could even use it! Like I said- too much chaos at the house the past couple of days!

I was running errands and decided to make a quick stop into a Goodwill that's typically a hit or miss. My former roommate protested entering this particular Goodwill because it doesn't always deliver the goods, but I told him, "You never know, maybe I'll find another Horizon Otagiri set!" (Our favorite Thrift Score).

And lo and behold, we walk in and find just that, another set of Japanese international stoneware that's very simular to what I craved.

My favorite part of the set are these cups; perfect for a cappuccino, or a little serving of coffee ice cream in the summer. I intend to keep the bowls and cups but sell the plates, since I have enough of those. Anyone interested?

Another find from the same Goodwill was this craft art. I love the colors and the rural look of it. I've seen scenes like this, living in the south for so long. I love photographing abandoned and overgrown vignettes like this one. I don't like displaying scenes like this in the house, though, so this one is for sale at Southern Crossing Antique Mall.

And yet another from the same Goodwill (evidence sometimes you just have to stop in, even if you don't expect any good finds- you never know what you'll get).

I've never seen blue retro toadstools like this. This will look perfect in my kitchen filled with a tiny fern plant. I'm starting a toadstool collection since I really love them and they don't sell for the price I want them to at the antique store.

I found one of these at Goodwill, the other at The Thrift Center on Blanding Blvd. I'd found the exact same one in January, and it became my favorite soup thermos. I left it at my ex-friend's house when I delivered her some soup when she was sick, and couldn't retrieve it.

I was bummed, thinking I'd never find one again- then the Thrift Gods delivered me two! You were kind to me last weekend, Thrift Fates!

I found this Jim Morrison bar mirror art and vintage hippo planter at The Thrift Center. The hippo is already for sale at the Southern Crossing Antique Mall, and the Jim Morrison will soon follow. I love the bright colors and how they added flecks of gold from the flames to his eyes.

The cool novelty wine container gun is from a yard sale I went to last week.

What did you find this weekend?
