Huge Thrift Haul
We had so much fun thrifting yesterday, that we decided to get in a little more today. We went to a few more out-of-the-way stores, that my husband and I had never been to before. I found waaaay too much stuff.
Here’s the lowdown!
Books: “Every Man A King; or Might In Mind Mastery” by Orison Swett Marden, 1st ed. 1906 - purchased for $4.25
“Our Animal Friends” by Virginia Hunter - a Rand McNally Elf Book, 1956 - purchased for $1.75
“Walt Disney’s Bambi” - A Mickey Mouse Club Book, 1948 - purchased for $2.75
“Lassie and the Kittens” - Tell a Tale Books 1956 - purchased for $2.00
“Shirley Temple Tells the Enchanting Story of Walt Disney’s Bambi” - mini storybook and 2 (yellow!) records - RCA Victor, 1949 - purchased for $4.25
“Music From the Original Motion Picture Sound Track of Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; Someday My Prince Will Come” - Walt Disney Little Gem Record - Purchased for $1.25
Japanese tea towel - $3.25
Vintage linens - $4.25, $3.00, 50 cents
Strawberry fabric - 25 cents
Sheer dots fabric - $2.00
Vintage floral hankie - $1.00
Latch Hook Cats - 50 cents each
Care Bear Cousins and Popple stuffie fabrics! Great additions to my collection! $1.50 each. We have: Lotsa Heart Elephant, Light Heart Raccoon, Treat Heart Pig, and Cozy Heart Penguin. The Popple is unnamed. The Care Bears all have their fronts and backs stitched together already (thus are inside-out).
Wooden Miniature Birds - 25 cents. These have some paint coming off, but I think they’re sort of charming that way. Not sure what I’ll do with them yet.
Van Brode International Dancer Figures - These are cereal premiums from the 1950s. $2.00 for the lot. Left to right they are labeled: Hungarian, China, Italy, West Indies.
Doll Heads! 50 - 25 cents. Someone PLEEEEASE cut me off. I have a whole friggin’ crate full of doll heads and parts. I have made zero dolls. Why am I so intrigued by these?
Along with the doll heads, I found these great books about dolls and stuffies you can make with doll heads!! Novel concept! Maybe I’ll do that sometime. “Darice Darlings” - 50 cents. “Loveable Stuffables” and “Stuffable Playmates” - 1.50 each.
You know you’re obsessed with Care Bears when you buy Care Bears Baby stuff and you don’t even have a baby. This little hat and booties was only $1.50. I’ll have someone to put it on eventually. Just not planning on that quite yet! Gimme a few years folks.
