Thrift Haul: Free Stuff For me and YOU + The Biggest Vintage/Mod Hauls EVER

This is the haul that stole my weekend from me! I made plans go to beautiful St. Augustine Florida with my mom and niece but had to rush out orders. On the way back from the post office I got sucked into an incredible yard sale and estate sale and came home with loads of vintage! I instead ended up finding, cleaning and listing all weekend and can't wait for a break! Here's what I scored:

I scooped up some adorable flocked Christmas ornaments, I thought they had the potential to sell well on Etsy. See the kitty can above here. There's also an adorable deer, Bear and Reindeer. They're all only $6.50 each.

String art doesn't sell well for me, but I absolutely love it. this piece had so much beautiful detailing. See it ------>>> On Etsy

This tea towel sold lightning fast on Etsy, one of my favorite finds of the past couple of weeks. Love the whimsical illustrations. ------>>> On Etsy

Immediately after buying this Venice tea towel I felt it'd be a hard sale, but it reminded me of childhood days in Italy. Gorgeous colors and line work on this piece. ------>>> On Etsy

This dramatic velvet painting came home with me for a song. Love the chiaroscuro affect on velvet vintage artwork. ------>>> On Etsy

And in a similar vein we have this beautiful wire artwork had to come back with me too. I may have to add my collection of wire and string art to my Southern Crossing booth soon. For now, see it ------>>> On Etsy

Their weird mouse has a bear friend on Etsy as well. Both made in Japan and just such a uniquely weird set. ------>>> On Etsy

This coffee percolator still works, will brew your coffee, then conveniently serve it to guests. Can also be used as a coffee warmer. ------>>> On Etsy

Couldn't resist such a beautiful vintage projector. It's in perfect working condition. ------>>> On Etsy

And I found Libby glassware in-box, wildflower pattern. Very pretty glasses. ------>>> On Etsy

And a beautiful (though quite worn) mid century modern finel from Arabia Finland collectible salad bowl. ------>>> On Etsy

I have quite enough planters but damn, they're so gorgeous! And I just sold a big lot of gorgeous green ones so I feel better about buying this beautiful atomic era yellow planter. ------>>> On Etsy

And there's some more mod goodness in this gorgeous fish coffee mug. ------>>> On Etsy

I don't have luck selling retro beer stein type things but loved these kitschy Florida Silver Springs salt and pepper steins. ------>>> On Etsy

And I found my first coffee carafe full set! Beautiful set! 'Twas hard to photograph them in the right light, a lot of these items practically demand re-shoots. D'oh. ------>>> On Etsy

This big turtle stuffed guy is too. Damn. Adorable with his retro fabric and psychedelic beauty. See him ------>>> On Etsy

And then we have these tumblers I have been told are from the 1930s. Perfect for mixed drinks with friends. ------>>> On Etsy

This angry cat mod door stopper was too funny not to come home with me, too. NOT an easy item to sell but damn, hilarious. ------>>> On Etsy

And how about this atomic era magazine rack!? Love this piece.

How about this dinosaur bone tray!? I love it so! Man this haul is all over the place! ------>>> On Etsy

And on the coffee kick, we have this gorgeous daisy coffee pot! Looks like I accidentally wrote over this listing in my haste, it's $18.00 if anyone's interested!

And you'll notice a turtle theme. The estate sale I cleaned out (so many free things/things for a quarter! Hell yes!) had a turtle fetish. I completely approve of turtle fetish. Love the face on this little guy. ------>>> On Etsy.

And some more things from Japan! I resisted a gorgeous sake set but had to bring home these lovely tea cups. ------>>> On Etsy

And how about some gorgeous orange juice tumblers? ------>>> On Etsy

This guy isn't on Etsy and is destined for the antique mall booth. Let me know if you'd like this gorgeous lamp, I'm selling it for $10.00.

And a mid century modern serving dish, right in time for holiday feasting. ------>>> On Etsy

Turtle fetish continues, Turtle Power! I find it ironic that I found so many turtles after missing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle con I was dying to attend this weekend. A sign? Anway this guy looks like a toothbrush holder with the holes in his back but I'm not sure if that's his intended purpose. ------>>> On Etsy.

And this is only the saddest thing you'll ever see. Yep. I absolutely love this piece, a favorite find. Only cost a quarter, too. ------>>> On Etsy

And some big eye owl artwork! See this beautiful painting ------>>> On Etsy

I found a HUGE set of these glasses. I'm still decided if I'll list them as a whole or in pieces. They'll be on Etsy soon.

And this huge lighting fixture is about to be installed in my southern crossing antique mall booth. I'd like to say Danish mid century modern? Still works! It will be on Etsy soon as well. HUGE piece. E-mail me if you'd like it.

THE FREE THINGS: And with that, damn! I need a break. I have been working on this stuff NON-DAMN STOP for two days straight. Please e-mail me if you'd like to buy anything or have any questions. IN the spirit of giving I'll be sending freebies to the FIRST PEOPLE to buy things from this haul!
