WOW no wonder you spent $60. How could anyone walk away without getting those?! What a bargain. xx

That is a lot for sixty dollars. I especially love the necklace and earrings.

You SCORED!!!

I love Sally's!

I just got back and I spendt $58.00. The entire store was half off except collectables. I bought three huge gorgeous pictures for the bedroom, two pairs of jeans, about six tops, some plates and candlesticks for a project I'm working on, a brand new box of kitchen utensils, a tray for a project, a Kosta Boda snowball candleholder, a brand new in box set of dessert plates, a mixing bowl, two hats, a tall pottery barn type candle holder and some other things I can't think of at the moment.

Thrifting rocks but it's not for the faint hearted. Some woman tried to take those picturs right out from under my nose. Where I live the prices at the Goodwill have gone sky high but Sally's is still low plus they usually have half off sales on Saturday's.

You can get so much good stuff from thrift stores :)

Amazing finds Maegan! I wish the thrift shops near me had nearly as good quality stuff as you found. I'm in awe of the vintage seahorse set. I love everything, great work!!

Holy crap! I so want those seahorse goodies (my three year old nieces would be so impressed--we're a little seahorse crazy as of late).

Yuni said...

Those crystal decanters are to die for! Esp love the seahorse jewelry, can't wait to see what you wear with them!

Keri said...

I remember my mom having a crystal decanter like that one. I used to use the top stopper as a microphone when I was little. I can also vaguely remember standing on the brick hearth and singing (probably something from Annie). I think if she still had it I'd STILL use it as a microphone (and probably still sing something from Annie--classics never die - lol).

Great finds!!

Sara said...

What a great haul! Thrift stores are one of the best places to spend a Saturday (in my opinion) and it looks like you found some incredible pieces. I look forward to seeing them all styled up in future posts!
