Come look around my insanely princess-y [with a hint of steampunk] room! Crossposted to thrifty_lolita  and soon to be to thriftwhore , because almost everything was thrifted, or at the very least was a thrifty find, so my apologies that the text is a bit cut-and-past. Why yes, I have seen Bolt one too many times since it's release, thank you. *cough* Welcome! Here's the...

Welcome!  I suppose it would be prudent for me to make the first post... I'm looking for things to add to my collection! - Vanity sets [mirror, brush, etc.], preferably vintage or vintage-look - Perfume atomizers . Again, preferably vintage/VL - Tea sets - Hand fans - Mirrored compacts and hand mirrors - Knee-length petticoats - Square dancing skirts - Size 10 or 11 US shoes, preferably...

Crossposted to thriftwhore . Meyers-brand purse. $2 at local thrift store. I did some research on the brand, and all signs point to the 50s-60s. Anyone know anything specific? Inside it reads "Meyers - Made in the USA." It's unbelievably perfect and I carry it everywhere! Gorgeous palm-sized metal cross with what look like rosary beads all around. $2 Plato's Closet. Gorgeous...

I really want to share my amazing finds from this weekend with you! This is pretty much just copypasta from my original post in thriftwhore , sorry! I wanted to share the great deals I got with everyone as well, so I hope you don't mind that I kept that information! A-mazing giant hutch thing. $ at wickedly crazy-priced estate sale. It's huge but very light and came in 2 pieces. Forgive...

I work in a thrift store, we got in a nice wedding dress that is not too old and is still white. On my lunch break I tried it on and bought it for 50$! I even managed to go next door to big lots and get lunch then ate it in my half hour break. It is Mori Lee brand, I can't find the style online though, I think it might be a sweet 16 dress. I put it on and took photos when we got home because the...

I'm sorry for the terrible quality of the photos, but aren't these just exquisite!? They're gorgeous brooches/pins, one palm-sized, the other half that. Here's the kicker. I found them at a small thrift shop in a local age-restricted [re: old folks] community! I couldn't believe it! I hope that it just means that some lucky lady or gentleman simply doesn't share the same taste as a Steampunk...

I'm panicking. My job keeps sending me home, I'm not making enough money to be as comfortable as I want. I know this sounds cliche, everyone's doing it, but I'd rather do this than end up stripping. I want to set up an Etsy shop. I have tons of really nice things I don't need or use, I'm always posting on thriftwhore , and it looks like a good way to get some secondary income up in this ho...
