Outfitted In: Wood, Flowers, and Cats

Sunnies, Bracelets, Bolo, Floral Shirt, Minnetonka Mocs, Cat Bag: All Thrifted; Jeans, Burlington

With huge pink sunnies, my cat bag, and my wooden accessories, this outfit felt very "Quirky Grandma" to me. :) I think that title fits my style and personality pretty well! I'll certainly be a cool sort of grandma one day. (I have quite a few decades until then!)

I really love the accessories I thrifted on my trip to Florida. I was lucky to find so many pieces of non-metal jewelry and other things I'd been searching for for months. :) I'm going to bring this post full-circle and pin my Florida thrift luck on my Grammy. She's definitely a cool sort of grandma!

Always,
Amanda

Detail Shot Saturday: Saltwater Sandal Love :)

Saltwater Sandals, eBay ($20)

If you've been following since the days of Another's Treasure, you know I've been trying to thrift a pair of Saltwater Sandals for a long time! In the months and months I've searched, I've never found any at the thrift stores. Not even in a different size!

Seeing as this week's Detail Shot features my new Saltwater Sandals, you probably know the end of this story. :) I found some on eBay for a mere $20 with free shipping!! And they're a floral print! I guess you could say that I'm in love.

They are comfy and pretty, and I can't wait to find more in other colors. :) And on that note, have a happy weekend!

Always,
Amanda

Florida Thrift Finds: Awesome Arm Candy

Bracelets, Thrifted ($0.25-$1 each)

I seemed to strike non-metal jewelry gold during my Florida visit! (I think this had something to do with the fact that my awesome Grammy led us to tons of great thrift shops!!)

These bracelets are some of my favorite finds from last Saturday's thrifting expedition. The friendship bracelet is made of super-thick cord, and I love the colors! The two wooden bracelets were both found at a Pensacola Goodwill that had the best jewelry case! I mean, look at the religious bracelet!! So neat. :)

The last bracelet was found at a closeout store that had all sorts of random things. I think it's reminiscent of Roman numerals. (Random, but hey...random is my middle name!)

Happy Friday, everyone!

Florida Thrift Finds: Vintage Bag Edition!

Vintage Florida Keys Bag ($5); Vintage Cat Tote ($3) Both: Florida Thrift Shops

I have to say, the Florida thrift shops were overflowing with awesome vintage bags!! Unfortunately, I only (just barely) had room to bring back two! These were my favorites, though, by far.

The first is a vintage Florida Keys Handbag, in the same design I've been wanting for ages! I found this exact one at one of our Richmond antique malls priced at a staggering $45! For five bucks in brand-new condition, I couldn't pass this up. :) (If you like the style, I found a pelican design on etsy for about $20 with shipping.)

The second is another type of bag that's been sitting in my etsy wish list for months- a cat bag! This tote is a generous size, which proved perfect for our day of shopping in Foley on Monday. :) (One of the ones that was on my etsy list is here for $28 if you're interested.)

I have to thank my younger brother for the cat tote! He was so nice to get it for me at Waterfront Rescue Mission when he was getting his golf stuff. I have the best brother ever, no joke. :)

Always,
Amanda

PS: To see the review I did last year of Waterfront Rescue Mission, click here! Every location is still awesome- definitely a must-go thrift shop if you're in Pensacola or the surrounding areas. :)

Outfitted In: Florida Sunshine and Super Shades

Shirt, Sandals, Cat Print Bag, Bracelets: All Thrifted; Jeans, Burlington; Sunnies and Necklace: F21; Scarf, Estate Sale

Hey everyone! I'm back from Florida, and it went by way too fast! I had so much fun hanging out with family. :) We went to a ton of great thrift shops on Saturday and Monday, and I can't wait to show you all what I found!

This outfit is from Monday, when we took a trip to Foley, Alabama, and stopped at some thrift shops and a flea market on our way. It was such a great day. :) I found the hubby some presents at the flea market and thrift shops, and I got a couple pieces of non-metal jewelry that I love. I'll have so much to show you guys throughout the rest of the week!

Always,
Amanda

Thrifted, Gifted: Vintage Fishing Reel

Vintage Fishing Reel, Estate Sale

Although I know less than next-to-nothing about fishing equipment, this vintage reel caught my eye at the last estate sale we went to. :) And, well, my grandpa loves fishing. Ah- thrifted, gifted time!

There's nothing I can think of that I love more than finding presents for the people I love. (Okay, maybe spending time with the people I love!)

Always,
Amanda

A Kitty Cat Kinda Monday :)

Vintage Cat Stuffed Toy, Heritage Antiques ($4)

Moxie giving me the evil eye (Priceless)

I love the little vintage kitty cat I got at Heritage Antiques a couple weeks ago! I think it looks a lot like Moxie- can you see the resemblance? :)

Poor Moxie cat isn't much a fan of cameras. Without the flash, you can barely make her out, she's so dark. And with? Well, you get a picture like the one above! I think she'd win any staring contest by a mile, don't you? :)

Always,
Amanda
