I went to thrift shops before Macklemore made it cool....

'cause I'm cheap, yo! Happy Friday! I hit up a couple thrift stores after work today, and thought I'd share what I found! If you haven't been thrifting before, what are you waiting for? There are treasures out there waiting to be discovered!

I want to share something with you. I have a problem. I obsessively hoard milk glass/white ceramics. I don't know exactly what about them I love, they just speak to me. One day I'll post my entire collection, but here is what I found today:

These awesome pieces:

The tall vase is now one of my largest pieces! I also really love the simplicity of the small tea cup.

I also got this punch bowl set:
Which is now my now my 2nd(!!) milk glass punch bowl set. It came with 9 glasses, which is a bit strange(I'm thinking one broke along the way) and I could not pass it up. Check out the close up detail:

The cups have little daisies on the bottom! How cute is that!?!

I also picked up this banana holder.

Not too exciting, but actually something I needed.

I also bought two dresses, and a silk nightie(see my post here about the Refashionista). I'll post those pics  another day. My last purchase was this beautiful jade colored necklace.

The price was $6.99, which is usually a bit more than I'm willing to pay, BUT as soon as I picked it up I could tell it was worth it. The stones are solid and heavy and it's really made well.

I also saw this awesome deer/rabbit/creature lamp I just had to share with you:

I didn't purchase it, but wow, how um, unique! I wonder if it came that color or if someone else out there loves spray painted animals? It was a bit wild for my taste, but I've definitely never seen another lamp quite like that!

Have you been to any good thrift shops lately?
