The thrift and junk culture is strong here in North Florida. You can almost take any random road and encounter undiscovered thrift gems. There are two small accidentally encountered indie thrifts, a mere five minute drive from my apartment. The prices and selection are random but I had some luck the last couple of weeks and a clandestine corner thrift shop, located right next to diminutive Dreamette a legendary local icecream shop.
I found another beautiful rolling cart (I call 'em bar carts) which hopefully sold inside of Southern Crossing.

if you're local and you'd like to scoop it up. I'm selling it for $18.00 and I have another older, similar one like it. The 3 silver rimmed glasses may be real Dorothy Thrope glasses. They're chilling in my antique mall booth for the moment, too.
I'm also enjoying these lovely retro glass tumblers, perfect for making mixed drinks. -----> On Etsy
And these stunning coasters/serving trays. Anyone have additional information on these? I'm assuming they're from the 1960s, a lucky thrift store score and practical, too. -----> On Etsy
It's the mark of a plant lover when one of your favorites scores ever is another damn planter. I just love the colors and organic shape on this one. Also enjoying the nice retro watering can for watering my freshly planted herbs. See more of the planter on Etsy here and the here.
The final sexy score (from the same thrift store a day later). This mod chair is huge and in like-new condition with sleek atomic legs. Very heavy, practically indestructible! Selling it locally for $60.00. She's huge, sturdy, and comfortable. Been enjoying reading while tucked into this voluminous seat.
Edit: Had to add a photo of Yuko enjoying the couch! It's the perfect couch for a kitty lover, her claws do not dent this baby, it's made of adamantium or something. I have never encountered such an indestructible seat!
CAN'T keep it all: If you see anything you'd like to buy, send me an e-mail! Take if off my hands! :D
Find anything amazing at the thrifts this weekend?! Do share your finds and posts in the comments.

DeleteFlorida thrift shops really are the best! Too bad we no longer live in the area, or I would snap up that bar cart. I am also loving the chair, lovely and comfy.

It is indeed! The thrifting's too good here, I need to hold back for now 'til I sell some more stock.
Delete!!!! are you selling those deer paintings?
ReplyDeleteYep, found them a few weeks ago and have them online here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/152852562/paint-by-numbers-fawns-kawaii-vintage
DeleteAnd in my southern crossing booth. Let me know if you'd like them :D
Nice haul. Love the chair. It will sell fast. Is there a label? It could be a high end maker. Have you ever been to flying phoenix on beach blvd?
ReplyDeleteI love Flying Phoenix. I always browse since the prices are high. I've never considered if they buy vintage, hmmm. ;p The chair has no label from what I can see.
DeleteI love that place too. They have been selling mid cent since waaayyy before it was cool. Fun place to go. They really know their stuff especially furniture. They do consignment!
DeleteHmm...good to know!
DeleteGreat finds!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteFlorida sounds like an amazing place to thrift. Those coaster trays are rather groovy.
ReplyDeleteThose might be my favorite scores.
DeleteMan, I love those bar carts. You can never have too many of those things. I use them all over my house.
ReplyDeleteI've found and sold two, going on three of them. Love 'em!
DeleteWow, those are some great finds! But I especially love the planter!
ReplyDeleteMe too :D !
DeleteI love the YUKO!!!
ReplyDeleteShe's a perty thang.
DeleteYou've truly uncovered some groovy treasures! The 1960s vibes are strong in this thrift haul. The planter and the mod chair are absolute gems. Keep the retro goodness coming.
