Coming to you from the land of WTF...

Some of the best things you find at the thrift stores are not the treasures, but the WTF items. I have found that I have trouble going with my friend Carolyn because we giggle waaaaaaaaay too much. She also likes to scare me with the creepy dolls that are reminiscent of this:




In the realm of WTF, I hereby proclaim this the most WTF item I have ever encountered in all of my pillaging. Behold!
So, let's review. We have a large plastic "frame" with center missing. At the bottom there are angels reading what I assume is the Bible. On the sides we have 2 unicorns. In the center, the earth. Clearly this must be how the world was created.

Now I must find an equally amazing photo to put in the most amazing frame of ALL TIME.

Sweet!

This is one of the best pieces of jewelery I have found in the last decade. My built in homing devices spotted it upon entering the store. Not sure of the era, but I'm guessing '40's. If anyone has a better guess on it's age, I'd love to hear it. It's made of copper, and I have worn it damn near every day since I found it. $12.99

9 to 5 dress

Some times I feel like I may have stolen some of the wardrobe from 9 to 5.

(wait, I want all those dresses!)

Anyway, this little number was $4.99.

Little Faux Lace Dress

I found this cute little faux lace dress with the original tags still on. The neck and armholes have the cute bias cut exposed edge that frays a little. $7.99

Oh Goodwill, how do I love thee?

So here's my start at showing some of the "scores" I find at the Goodwill or other various thrift stores.
Pretty shoes! I had actually wanted these a few seasons ago when they were new. Leather, like new and only $6.99

Finance update

So.........when I started this blog 2 years ago it was in part to keep me from shopping as much. I had a mountain of credit card debt. Not all from shopping, but not being responsible with my money. Living outside of my means mainly, and not saving. I am happy to report that I am now 86% OUT of credit card debt. I hope to have the rest of it gone by the end of this month.

Even though I have so little left, it I want it all GONE GONE GONE! I have well learned my lesson and have been literally paying for it for what seems like forever.

I have also gotten way back into one of my favorite types of shopping. Thrift. I have some great pillaging partners in crime, and the majority of anything new purchased this year has come second had. Which is nice because it is supporting a charity, cheaper then new, green, and really cool shit! I am going to start posting some of my scores, which I love dearly.

In closing I just need to say:

F- YOU VISA!
Discover card you are almost gone.

If unicorns wore high heels....

This is what they would look like:

I totally would have painted those tonails red. Just sayin'.
