Thrift Store Scores

[popvulture]

I find I have the best luck at sort of mid-tier thrift stores, where someone's done the crazy digging in the clothes-by-the-pound type places and charges a a bit more for the trouble (which I very much value), but doesn't tread into the LA $100+ vintage tee zone. We still have some of those here, but I feel like they're getting rarer.

. I picked up some great scores at a local sale today : the hiking backpack is in impressive shape for its age and the Husqvarna was too good to pass up. The little frog thing was made by the gentleman who was having the sale and it was just too quirky to leave behind.

Cool black Perrier glass.

Cool candle holder. Bright orange.

Mint mustard yellow rocking chair. Seventies (vibe). Heavy as FUCK. Reminds me of seventies Italian sportscars.

That’s a cool chair. Love the color. Vinyl or leather?

Not a thrift store score, but bought at in a newly opened shop that sells vintage stuff...
SABENA was a Belgian airline in the 20th century... Big metal cargo crate... Dirty af and can't wait to clean it...
OCD Indiana Jones out.

@sabergirl appears to be non leather...

[endo]

super nice chair

[tody]

that crate is so cool!

[Seul]

Alright - quick clean later... It fits perfectly under my De Nisco table... Perfect cargo space for games and other small stuff...

I’m thinking the same…it’s a modern day steamer trunk. We used a steamer trunk for years as a TV Stand. @Seul How are you going to use it?

Edit: Late and I see. Excellent pickup!!

[goosehd]

…and that chair looks extremely comfortable. Is it?

[Seul]

@goosehd it's a rocking chair! It's ENDLESSLY comfortable and cool... Perfect gaming chair and to watch F1...
And built like a brick... Well a huge pile of bricks... A castle!

[sabergirl]

That chair is a rocker, too?! @Seul

The St Johns flea market is in full swing again and the flea market gods were generous. I scored this cute see through bike bell, a sheepskin run (oh so comfortable to stand on as I choose what to wear) and a pair of probably the ugliest crocs. I had to see what all the hype was about and for $1 I said fuck it. They are very comfortable but my wife hid them so I couldn’t wear them (but not before I bedazzled them with a Honduran flag - represent )!!

St Johns flea market is back to firing on all cylinders again….im regretting not picking up these 1930’s bear hide gloves but I can check off ‘punch card time clock’ off my list.

@Seul a bit of light reading?

[steelworker]

@Inorganic those bear gauntlets-

[Inorganic]

@steelworker right?!?!?! Omg they were beautiful, in pristine condition and fit like a glove…..
