We just got back from our little mini-vacation to Great Wolf. It was a really nice break from everyday routine, which would have normally included my weekly trip to Goodwill this morning. Although, I did just get off the phone with my husband who, on his way back from picking some things up from his office, just so happened to be at the thrift store. I guess he's as die-hard as I am.
Instead of posting things that I found today, I'm going to share some kids-related past finds.
Above is a picture of one corner in my little girl's room. The rocking chair, guitar, and the tall doll were all purchased at Goodwill. I am particularly fond of the vintage dolls. The short one, nicknamed Little Miss Trouble, is from my childhood. The tall one reminds me a little of these Alexander Girard wooden dolls.
My dear friend Margaret Ann, who is a seasoned thrifter, sent me this picture of a recent purchase she made:
She had been looking for a ride-on toy for her son, and came across this great Radio Flyer trike—new it sells for $60—for under $10. I laughed when I saw the picture, because I almost bought this very trike at the thrift store on what must have been the same day, but I decided that we already had enough wheeled toys in our house. I'm so glad she picked it up!
Send a photo of your most beloved thrift store purchase to modernthrifter@gmail.com, and I'll pick a few to feature each Friday.
