Thrift Store Scores

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE that’s a classic right there. Did you score it at that same spot?

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic indeed - VV ftw

[GraemeE]

Another one my wife found yesterday while I was out of comission

Not sure the wood type but if was somehow teek root it would be a mega score

Any wood experts care to advise on possible species?

[sabergirl]

It almost doesn’t matter! Gorgeous chair

[GraemeE]

@sabergirl agreed - we love live wood furniture in general

Unfortunately we are in the wrong tax bracket for nakashima...but can still dream and admire from afar

[sabergirl]

So many folks make live-edge wood furniture in that style, now. I’m sure you could find something beautiful in range.

We have a couple peices but need to wait until our littles are a little more grown and running into the edge of a table or chair at high speed is no longer a possibility

Not tech “thrift store” but picked up 2 brand new pair of Thursday boots at buffalo exchange today , both pairs for $100 total. Wifey got some sick Gucci ballet flats for hella cheap as well. Beautiful day in the city, Out and about with our friend, the store was calling our name.

Wife scored one for the little man today

@GraemeE that was absolutely irritating to scroll through on a small screen. seeing the collar, then seeing your hand - total confusion until i read the caption!

[GraemeE]

@tody that's an expected reaction
Not a lot of mini western shirts for 2 year olds get posted around here

Dropped in on our Eagles market. It was pretty slow going because of the weather but I found a few gems. Most excited about these double-knee Keys. The real deal here, from an Oregon logger (I’m getting the matching suspenders next week). Not sure what I’ll sew up from the waterproof orange camo fabric, but for $3 I had to have it.

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic those keys are dope

[wjw]

Key makes a great beater hickory shirt too

[GraemeE]

@wjw yes they do

Im also a big fan of their saddle king sub brand stuff

[wjw]

@GraemeE didn't know saddle king existed. I'll have to check it out

[GraemeE]

@wjw ive got a handful of the flannel westerns as well as couple of the denim jackets

[wjw]

@GraemeE is it all secondhand or do they still make saddle king?

[GraemeE]

@wjw I dont think its around anymore but they pop up at thrift stores and are plentiful on ebay for reasonable prices

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE Saddle King is a great brand name for western wear. I dig those old names. About a decade ago I picked up a wool lined leather vest from a vendor who was a cowboy in Montana in the 60s, its of the Pioneer Wear brand. That name (especially whilst wearing it) always make me think of classic Americana and of a freedom/expansiveness of 'merica that (likely) isn't around anymore...

Damn, what did they put in the coffee at work this morning....
