Thrifted

Set of vintage tins (at least I think they're vintage) made in England, 8 in all. 

I have stacked bins of thrifted goods that need to be photographed and posted on Ebay and Etsy. I love the hunt, not so much the editing/typing and listing. As a result, I forget what I have until I clean and reorganize. Is anyone else like that? (John, in the off chance that you read this- thank you for being patient with me and not freaking out when I bring more stuff home. And for sharing your office closet as a means of storage space. I love you!)

Thank you to everyone that participated in last weeks link up! 
Some of the highlights: Marium at Decorate Vintage found the most amazing vintage lamps. Allison at Just Underneath found all sorts of cool things with a tiara being my favorite! Mid Mod Mom has the gift for finding mid century modern pieces! And, My Fancy found antique coins dating back to the 1800's in a little sewing box that she thrifted! These are just a few of the links from last week but everyone found and/or contributed something amazing!

  1. Very pretty! So far I've only Ebay-ed a few clothing items I picked up that I ended up not liking once I got them home, but have thought about it with other treasures I see. That said though--I have enough of my own junk to get rid of first! LOL I wish there were a way to make it go faster, I listed 10 items yesterday and it felt like it took forever.

  12. They look vintage to me, great find! I try to post a listing once a day so that I don't get too bogged down with stuff. That also keeps me from getting annoyed about sitting at the computer for forever.

  18. Those tins are so pretty! I am imagining them in a wall display, maybe outside if you have a covered area. And then a vintage bird cage beside them - ooooo, do you have one?

  19. Those tins are in excellent condition. I can't wait to see what other treasures emerge from the storage/office closet.

    Thanks for hosting your thrifted link up. It's fun to participate and meet new people.

  23. I totally agree with you! I love to find thrifted treasures but HATE HATE HATE to take the time to list them. Hence my entire upstairs Bonus Room full of unlisted items.

    Thanks for hosting the link-up!

  29. Ahojda. Moc se mi líbí tvůj blog! Ráda bych Tě pozvala na můj web, který je zaměřen především na poruchy příjmu potravy, ale pozor- ne thinspo, ba právě naopak.Najdeš tam recepty, které nikde jinde nenajdeš..převážně clean eating, tipy, články postřehy...a v brzké době se rozjede projekt na pomoc lidem s PPP, jen čekáme s kamarádkou, kdy ho schválí krasna.cz. Na blog určitě mrkni, každopádně si tam najdeš to "svoje". A pokud by se ti u mě opravdu moc líbilo, můžeš se přidat mezi mé Followers aneb pravidelné čtenáře (v levém sloupci mého blogu). Přeju krásný zbytek dne. Andie xoxoxox

  37. Hey Wendy! I didn't enter the meme this week because my photo was mildly thrifty. I don't know exactly why I didn't think it fit, but I will come back next week. I promise. ...and like Rapunzel of Disney's TANGLED, "I never break my promise. Never."
