Thrifting Favorites: Segment 3

Hey ya'll, its Mia here with my segment of Thrifting Favorites. Over the past few days us girls here at Oh Dontcha Sew have been sharing a few of our favorite thrifted goodies. I know I can speak for all of us when I say we have so many loved pieces its hard to narrow them down in to one post. So I wanted to share with you all my favorite spring-ish pieces. Hope you enjoy <3

Here I have some of my favorite odds and ends. 

First on the left is a tiny milk glass vase. I have been collecting milk glass for a few years now and hope to some day have a entier hutch filled with it! Second to the left, is my favorite little owl trinket. Behind my little owl is a mug holder that I had purchased and repainted to transform it into a jeweler holder which was a fun functional little revamp. Lastly is this vintage Moran's Beverage bottle. This is a recent purchase of mine. I am a lover and collecter of vintage packaging. Vintage bottles are perfect for floral arrangements and add that little bit of extra character to any room or centerpiece. 

What screams spring more then bright and pastel floral patterns!?

Lastly 2 of my favorite wall art purchases.

The one on the left I purchased at my local goodwill for only $2! SAt the time it was a heinous sky blue with a vibrant crayon looking application of color on the flowers. But I knew I could save it (nothing a little spray paint and elbow grease couldn't cure!). On the right is a lovely hand embroider piece I also found at the goodwill for $4. I just love the idea that someone put time and love into something and that is one of the main reasons I love thrifting!

Untill next time!

Thrifting Favorites

I wanted to share some thrifting favorites of mine on this Wednesday. Wednesday is a large thrifting day mainly because most places are 1/2 off! So who wouldn't take advantage? The girls will also be sharing their special picks throughout the next couple days!

This skirt I found for a dollar and think about often cutting off the top so I could make it shorter. The pattern on the bottom is too good to cut off. Also: the seafoam green and pink is such a great color combination. 

This shirt I found for 3 dollars. It has teapots on it? I know! How weird? But neat. The label on it says "Weathervane". I wondered if it was from that store the Weathervane that used to be in most malls. I feel like its a little too off the wall to be found in a weathervane.  The scarf next to it I found for 50 cents, and I love! The shapes on it are perfect along with melon color. 

These aprons! I found these with Mia at a Flea market, but I have to talk about them. We plan on doing a DIY project with our aprons in the near future. So be sure to keep your eyes peeled for that! It will be super cute!

This skirt I found for 1 dollar! The pleats and polka dots are so great! I wear it out alot when I go out for drinks or dinner at night! 

These three items line my vanity, and a shelf that my grandfather made my grandmother hanging on my wall! The Beligan Creme's box holds notes, and letters (even some cute love letters) I have received over the years! The Diane Pins were a find that Mia and I came across in a flea market. We shared the pack, and she was sweet enough to let me keep the box!  Even though using them in my hair is quite hard, I do try! If I had more of a bouffant all the time it would be great to use! I have been into collecting old perfume bottles lately. If you click on this picture you can see that there is a rose that sits on top of the bottle. Its so cute! It's actually broken but I couldn't pass it up!

Ah! This bag! I found at Goodwill, and I loveeee love the bridge on it! I really do not use it quite often mainly because I don't wear too much brown, or neutral shades. The only time I ever used it was when my sister had her baby! ( I stocked myself full of games for the long wait!) But I will most definitely use it more. 

Thats all! Check back for Mia and Kay's favorites!
