Thrift Haul: Playful Mod Treasures Aplenty

This weekend I hit up a couple of curbsides, local yard sales, and "free boxes" to yield a bounty of mod treasures. I met nice neighbors, petted sweet dogs, and found more than I should even try to document in one post, it was a beautiful! I'll go yard sale hopping again next weekend for sure!

 The Master Splinter was on another spot-on thrifted gift from my older brother. I adore it. It was hand crafted by some ninja turtles fan, the signature on the bottom reads "JH". The cups and matching trays are "Gits Ware". The cute little salt and pepper shakers were in their original vintage packaging (already opened.)

Speaking of TURTLE POWER, I was estatic to find this video tape. I used to watch and enjoy the over the top CHEESINESS that was this video tape as a kid, and in my teen and college years it was the perfect tape to whip out and confuse friends with.

I loved watching their bewildered expressions! A friend of mine lost this tape when they moved. Heartbroken, I hunted for it while thrifting for years. One time I thought I found it was, but the wrong VHS was in the case! This time I finally have it again. Friends beware, I will subject you to it, in all its horror!

On a thrift run last week, I've never found a Chelsea Handler book while thrifting. My Horizontal Life is still my favorite. The Kitsch book was .45 cents very well spent, I live for Kitsch! I'll let you know if I learn anything from this vintage tome of Kitsch essays and photos.

One of many treasures from the free box, wooden bowl-type things.What would you call these?

  I'm not sure if this magazine rack is authentic vintage or not. I love it and found it at a yard sale. 

It'll be hanging out in the Southern Crossing Antique Mall if anyone local wants it.

I found cute mod glasses aplenty. Not keeping any of them, they'll all be for sale in the Thrift Core Shop and in my Antique Store Booth.

I found some excellent classic records. These two cases were purchased just for the art. I love the bright colors and the distressed sleeves just add to it. They'll look nice in a black frame.

This was a $2.50 find from Southern Crossing Antique Mall. I love her vintage illustrative look and the chipped paint makes her perfectly imperfect. I'll be keeping all of the planters I found this weekend, they're the perfect shapes and colors. I'll update when they're filled with greenery and tucked into little corners of my home. My favorite one is the round green one in the first picture!

Remember: If you want anything from this post, it will be in the Thrift Core Shop soon. If it's not, contact me!
