Estate Sale Treasure: A Glass Unicorn :)

Glass Unicorn: Estate Sale ($2.50)

We went to a really cool estate sale last Sunday, full of awesome mid-century stuff and great old books! Although I wanted lots of things from the sale (particularly a vintage mustard yellow couch!), I held back and just got this unicorn.

It's a really cool unicorn, though! The way the glass looks in the sun reminds me of a hot-weather-friendly ice sculpture. :)

Well, I'm off to the thrifts this morning, mostly to do some #thriftspotting, but also to hunt for a couple little things!

Always,

#Thriftspotting


Happy Friday, everyone!!! I'm especially happy for the weekend, since it's a three-day one for me. :)

Anyway, here are some of the neat things I saw #thriftspotting this past week. If I was in the market for tchotchkes, I would've make out like a bandit!

As always, follow me on Instagram @AisAlreadyLoved for more #thriftspotting!

Insta-Thursday



Happy Thursday, everyone! This week was full of: thrifting, yummy drinks, sorting garage sale stuff, getting a new record player (!!!!), hanging with the kitty, and thrifting an awesome Lucite stand for my pretty, red Crosley. :)

Always,

Outfitted In: Stripes + Pink

Shirt, Jeans, Cat Pin: All Thrifted; Saltwater Sandals: Amazon; Bag: Nordstrom

This was Sunday's outfit, for a relaxing day of estate sale hunting, record player finding, and cleaning. :) It was fun just hanging out with my awesome hubby and enjoying the day with him.
Also, did I mention how much I love my Brahmin bag? 'Cause it's amazing! I decided to downsize my bag collection, and this is my new 'wear with everything' bag, instead of switching out so much. :) And it was on super-clearance! (It is, admittedly, pretty bright!)

I've been wearing the heck out of my Saltwater Sandals, too. I'm glad I finally broke down and got some off of Amazon, because I still haven't seen any at the thrifts! After we move back to Florida, I'll definitely be investing in a couple more pairs of them. :)

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: A Bucket of Gold! Sort of.

Handmade Gold Basket: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

So my only other thrift find from Saturday was this golden basket. It's hand-woven, probably by someone who decided upon finishing it that it was perhaps too gold...

But hey, it's not too gold for me! I love it! It's currently corralling mail on my coffee table and looking awesome. :)

Happy Tuesday!

Always,
Amanda

Thrifted Vintage: Jadeite!

Vintage Jadeite Containers: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I was super excited to spot 1930s Jadeite in the Goodwill bins this past weekend!! These little jars are missing their lids, but are otherwise in great shape. And did I mention that for both of them AND my other Goodwill Outlet find, I spent less than a dollar?! Awesome.

I've seen pretty Jadeite pieces at antique shops for crazy amounts, but these are the first ones I've ever seen in a thrift store. :) I think once we move to Florida, more Jadeite pieces will make it on my thrift list!

Have a great day, everyone!
Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Pink + Green

Shirt: Thrifted; Jeans: Target; Saltwater Sandals: Amazon; Bag: Nordstrom Clearance

This was yesterday's outfit, for an afternoon of thrifting, church, and dinner with the in-laws. :) It was a good, but long, day.

I'm ready to spend today relaxing, organizing, cleaning, and sorting out more things for our garage sale we're having at my in-laws' in October. :) It feels good to get rid of some things!

I hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!

Always,
Amanda

#Thriftspotting in Florida :)



Here are some of the cool things I spotted while I thrifted with my dad in Florida. :) I saw all sorts of cool things! I can't wait to decorate when we move into our own place down there! It will be so fun!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I have to work this morning, but then I'll be doing some #thriftspotting with the hubby. :)

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Find: A Button Necklace!

Button Necklace: Goodwill ($4.99)

The regular Goodwill near my parent's house in Florida is big, but overpriced. There are lots of brand-new, boring items all over. Basically, it's not my favorite thrift store location.

So, even though this awesome vintage button necklace was more than I'd usually pay at a thrift store, I was surprised to find it there in the first place! I splurged, and it ended up being my only thrift score from my short trip.

I did spot some other cool things, though, so there will be plenty of #thriftspotting photos tomorrow!

Happy Friday, everyone!
Always,
Amanda

Insta-Thursday



Happy Thursday, everyone! I had a pretty good week, mostly spent in Florida with my parents. :) I had such a great time!

Moxie, our cat, wasn't too happy with me for leaving though!

I hope everyone's week is going great!

Always,
Amanda

I'm Back!

Shirt, Jeans, Bag: All Thrifted; Mocs: DSW

Well, I'm back in Richmond after my short Florida trip! I had a great time, and I was able to get some stuff done for when we move in a couple months. :)

Plus, I got to hang out with this silly dog! :) He's my parents' dog Jake, and he's so fun!

My dad and I went to some thrifts on Saturday, so I have some #thriftspotting and even a thrifted find!
I hope everyone's week is going well so far. :)

Always,
Amanda

#Thriftspotting


I had some great #thriftspotting this past week! I saw lots of fun mid-century stuff, which I totally would have gotten if we weren't moving in a couple months. :) I hope I can find some great vintage furniture down in Florida! I have high hopes. :)

Speaking of Florida, I'm off there for a long weekend this weekend! I'll be back on Tuesday, but until then, it'll be pretty quiet around here. Of course, you can always follow me on Instagram @AisAlreadyLoved :)

Always,
Amanda

PS: Happy Birthday (tomorrow) to my awesome mom! I'm so glad I get to see you for you birthday this year!!!!
