I really scored at the flea market this weekend! Everything was low-priced, unique, bright, and quirky: my favorite type of finds! I'd venture to say some of my favorite finds ever are in this batch. Let's take a look...
This is the cutest lamp I've ever discovered, what a treasure! I was shocked to find something this unique and fragile in perfect shape and working condition.
The cute matching skunk figurine inside is removable! I don't know how that stayed intact over the years, but I love the cutesy woodland look going on here. I'd be willing to let it go for $25.00 if you'd like it, it's perfect for a kid's room or nursery.
I love this "Plak Kard it's a bit larger (9x5) than the average post card and a thicker, foamy texture. If no one buys it for the low price of $5.00 I'm going to hang it in my kitchen above a mini-bar.
And here's the back. Very fun find!
And I love the perfect mod Don Draper desk lamp I found. Shocked to find it's in perfect working condition. Willing to sell this beauty to you for $15.00. It's a gorgeous, industrial piece.
This cute little Japanese jewelry box matches a gorgeous vintage lamp from Kyoto I keep in my bedroom. I'm tempted to keep this one next to it, but it's going in the shop for $6.50.
I like the wood grain and groovy type on this big plaque for the home.
And this lamp! I love this style of lamp and have never seen one with an owl. Does anyone know what this type of vintage lamp is called? I'll be selling this one for $20.00 on the blog once it's cleaned up.
I took a risk on this train. I love the vintage look, bright colors, and feel it will look nice sitting on a shelf as a display piece. I'm selling it for $6.50.
And speaking of toys, I got my robot fix. I've been wanting this Space Giant children's rolling luggage since I saw it at the store. Now it's mine! I'm willing to sell it for $20.00 but until someone buys it, it's going to be my personal rolling luggage for traveling. I love the two retro robots I found. The red one came with batteries and runs along the floor. Fun!
I couldn't resist the good deals and bright colors on these guys. The coloring book cover is hilarious!
I rarely find these fuzzy vintage figurines. I may do a before/after on the Koala, he needs some work. They could all use a little cleaning, too. I'm selling these all for $5.00 each if any appeal to you.
And even more figurines! There was a big sale at one of the flea market tables so I filled up on cute retro goodies. I like how the poodle is furry and the little gray raccoon has a suspect, stealthy look.
And I scooped up these rather-large owl bookends, love 'em! Yet again tempted to keep these for my huge book hoard but I'm selling them for $12.00. I may spray paint them a bright color, what do you think? Kind of nice that they came in white like this, though.
Holy hell, dogs of all sizes! The mug is standard sized to give you an idea of the size of these little guys. I'm selling the large one for $5.00 and the rest for $4.00.
Can't go wrong with a couple of cute Eagle patriotic mugs. I'm selling the pair for $6.00 on the blog.
I've never seen anything like this sword plaque. It reminds me of something a Dungeons and Dragons fan would like somehow. I'm selling it for $6.00. I have a feeling it will sell quickly int he antique mall.
And a final favorite find is this trio of animal cross stitched yarn art. I love everything about them, the extremely retina-blasting saturated color blitz, extreme expressions, the brown background, everything! My favorite is the hippo, neon orange-red is my favorite color! These are perfect for a nursery. I'm selling the set for $30.00 on the blog. These are rather large, measuring about 16 x 16 each.
Remember: Everything I list on these posts are for sale. E-mail me if you're interested in anything you see! I also host daily deals this blog (the haul post prices are lower than normal) and on Facebook and Twitter.
What did you find this weekend?
Love those robots! I believe the blue one is Sparks from Toy Story 3.

Glad to know the info on it, thanks for sharing!
DeleteI smile every time you post your awesome robot finds! Love them!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I just opened an antique booth this weekend (only 3 shelves really) - much inspired by your blog. Will chronicle my ups and downs on a brand new blog too :-)
Robots are my favorites, too bad I don't find enough of them. I took a peek at your booth and it looks amazing! I hope you do well! :D I can't wait to get to my booths and add tons of merch.
DeleteThe robots and the owl bookends are my favourite. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angel. Robots are always my favorite finds, too bad I don't uncover more of 'em!
DeleteI LOVE that Boston Terrier with the wacky eyeballs, hehe
ReplyDeleteI sent you a message about buying that train
~Becky
Me too, I think he's my favorite out of the dog figurines. So goofy. I got your mail and replied. Thanks :) !
DeleteHmph, I didn't get the email. I checked my spam folder and whatnot. Rebegiry at gmail dot com
DeleteI've sent it again, sorry about that. my e-mail is iffy these days...
DeleteI sent you and email Van. ;)
ReplyDeleteI replied, I'll send a pic as soon as I can. Thanks!
DeleteLove those owl book ends. I would leave em white so that the buyer can be creative with the color if they like. I think they look fab white personally.
ReplyDeleteYep, I do believe that shall be their final color for me :D
Deleteawesome finds, love those velvety figurines and that lamp, amazeballs.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! I've never seen anything like that lamp!
DeleteOoh. I love the mug & the robots. The robot suitcase is definitely rad.
ReplyDeleteI have same cooker in the background on your counter, BTW.
And I added a figurine, a button & some salt & pepper shakers to my collection this weekend. Don't think I'll have time to blog about it, I'm frickin' exhausted... but you never know!
DeleteThe little cooker even cooks brown rice to perfection, love it :D
DeleteI think I'm through collecting vintage except for special furniture pieces and my kokeshi dolls. ;)
My boys would so crazy at your place, all your cool dinosaurs and robots, so fab!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they would. My nieces and nephews love to visit :)
DeleteOoh, I really like the owl lamp. For $20 I might be interested in that!
ReplyDeleteHey Susie, you can e-mail your zip code to info@thriftcore.com if you'd like to purchase it or get more photos :) Thanks!
DeleteOh I love those cross stitch animals and owl book ends. Perhaps keep the owl book ends white but spray paint them in a gloss white to freshen them up.
ReplyDeleteI may spray paint them a glossy white to cover some of the chips, but I think they're already sold as-is :D
DeleteThey are awesome! It looks like you got a great haul! I agree about that mushroom lamp - amazing that it is in such great shape, and that it didn't lose its tenant!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, but I think I may have immediately lost it's tenant while transferring it from shop to shop? Oh no, they survive decades just to get lost by me...
DeleteI'm in love with the robot suitcase and the embroidery neon animal pictures, but alas I don't know where I'd put them.
ReplyDeleteI love saving embroidery and cross stitch pieces.I always think about how much work and love goes into stuff like that.
I'm a sucker for embroidery pieces too. The robot suitcase would of course, go with you on every adventure, holding your essentials ;)
DeleteSo true, but I'm afraid that my four year old would lay claim and it would be filled with Legos instead of true essentials... like rum,lol.
Deletei know this is a few days late, but that owl lamp reminds me of the old tv lamps. though if you google owl tv lamp there are two main varieties that come up. i have a tv lamp that is a poodle and pug. the glowing eyes are the best!
