First Massachusetts Thrift Haul
I made my first thrifting trip a few days ago in search of goodies for my Vintage Swap partner. Why, oh, why did I join this swap?! Did I find anything that I thought my partner would find appealing? Not a single thing. Did I find a whole ton of crap to bring home for myself?
YUP.
Bad swap partner.
Here's the loot:
Awesome, handmade dress that fits me like a dream and makes me look like I walked off the set of Austin Powers
Two pillowcases, 79 cents each
Wool blanket, with a few minor stains, that I can cut up and repurpose
Two twin fitted sheets
Nice green cardigan
with a fun label!
Nice Gap shirt for work
I love the print, such pretty soft colors!
A single-serving Dynaware (fake Pyrex) casserole dish. This one matches one that I already have. Now my kitties each eat out of matching Pyrexy bowls. I have a disease...haha!
Lastly...
Doesn't look too exciting, eh? But...
It's made of a gorgeous soft wool/cashmere blend. It does not fit any of the men in my family, but I had to have it. Do you think the fashionista gods would hate me forever for cutting it up for the fabric? I see soft cashmere-y pillows or scarves in the future. What do you think?
How about all of you? Any fun thrift scores lately?

Does the jacket not fit you? I am longing for the days when I can fit into mine again. I used to love wearing them with jeans over little tops they made me feel all little and feminine!
Woooooooooooooooooooo,I vote cut it!! :-)
No - I haven't been thrifting lately! But you have just infected me with the bug! got to go NOW!
Beautiful fabric in that jacket. Live with it a bit and it will tell you what it wants to be next!
Great finds!!! Love the pillowcases and the jacket.
You found some amazing finds! I love the two pillowcases and the two fitted sheets. Just perfect
Oh did I miss out on some fun trifting?? I am so jeasous
Okay. The dress. Yeah. Gorgeous.
Wear it flair! (and then, if you could tell me all about it so I can live vicariously through you...)
I refer to the disease that is pyrex collecting as Pyrexia :)
