thrifted finds #1

I went to the thrifts once this week. I've been avidly thrifting again for about 6 months, and I'm honestly starting to get a little bit burnt out. Does this happen to anyone else? The problem, I think, is I'm sort of sick of accumulating items. I know I need to get started on opening an etsy shop, but I haven't found the time to do so yet.

I made it home with three items and I'm pretty excited about all of them.

The first item I brought home is a large scale piece of crewel art. I'm not sure what the measurements are here, but it's pretty massive. The detail on this piece is astonishing. I'm an avid collector of crewel art and this is my favorite to date. The frame is in pretty terrible shape - I'm planning on sanding some of the rough edges down and cleaning it up.



I'm not sure what it was about the following piece of art that compelled me, but I also brought home this magazine-sketch of a well-bodied male. It's not vintage but I love it. I'm thinking this is going to hang in my desk area. 



I added another casserole to my pyrex stack, however, I don't have an updated picture of the stack now. I'm pretty excited to have another large Snowflake. This one came with a lid and was very reasonably priced compared to what I've been seeing lately. A few more Snowflakes and I'll have myself a very cute display come winter time. 



This wasn't thrifted but I found an awesome haul of magazines from my apartment floor's trash room. Despite moving in about three weeks (and trying not to accumulate more crap), I've been dying to do some collage work lately. I think it'll make for a nice evening. 



I'm linking up this week with Sir Thrift A Lot, A Living Space and Apron Thrift Girl
