I thought I would resist all thrift stores this weekend. But the siren's calls of two Goodwills were irresistible this past Sunday.
These sweet Japanese porcelain "faux kokeshi" dolls were $1 each. I'm slowly amassing a collection of these, starting with the first two my dad bought me back from Japan years ago.
Right next to the porcelain Japanese girls sat this retro deer planter. I love the expression and the elegant lines, she's precious. I'll list it in
my Etsy shop soon.
I hope this book on
Painless Writing works. I need all the help I can get. So...
tired...of...writing.... I'm at the two year mark of writing professionally and I'm running out of steam.
I already have this
Prince Hits video tape, but a very old "Recorded-over" video tape (I have dozens of these, my parents would record rentals all the time). I've never seen
Lensman but cheesy looking cartoons and/or anime are irresistible for me.
I've watched my
Prince Hits video tape so much that it might snap in the VCR, this new copy will be my back up. It's full of classics, even some hard-to-find songs (
"Peach", "
Alphabet Street") and one of my favorite early songs "
I Wanna Be Your Lover". The latter features Prince in a v-neck woman's blouse looking more gorgeous in skinny jeans and eye liner than I ever will. (Damn you Prince, you gorgeous
man-woman-man).
But Michael Jackson will always be my favorite.
Lime green carry on rolling luggage for an upcoming cruise and for other planned traveling destinations. I like the color and the inside is like new, $3.99. I almost left it behind but other instigating thrifters told me to just grab it before I regret it; I think they were right.
I love the
Japanese Street Fashion inspired
Harajuku Lover's line but resist the expensive merchandise so I was happy to encounter a tiny bit of Harajuku Lover's goodness while thrifting. I hope the thrift Gods bring me a Harajuku Lover's purse next!
'Twas quality over quantity this weekend, I'm very pleased with each item I found on Sunday.
