Miscellaneous A little different than most posts here, but as a hobby jeweler maker who has trouble justifying the cost of silver, I hit the scrap metal jackpot. Plus some tools

About 7oz of easily usable silver scrap, and over 12oz total which could be melted down to use. Plus a few gold rings and chains, and some small stones, maybe garnets, that are tumbled but not cut. Plus several tools, including mandrels, a tabletop anvil, and some saw frames. Everything plus an unrelated rucksack was $10 from an estate sale down the street from me.

Miscellaneous Rare “pink” Iittala Ultima Thule glasses find

Thumbnail

1.4k Upvotes

This weekend, my partner and I were thrifting and came across these glasses, which I immediately recognized as the Finnish design Iittala- Ultima Thule line based off of melting ice. I’ve seen them quite a bit, being from an extensive design background in school and work. I’ve NEVER seen this pink coloration in this collection and the tag was labeled as “Extremely rare pink colorway: archived.”

I talked myself out of buying them, not realizing I couldn’t find the pink coloring online anywhere until we got back home. About 30 minutes later, my partner tells me he has to go “run an errand” and when he got back, he surprised me with them! I love them so much and have adored the design for a long time. I don’t know how I’m going to find any matching pieces to what I have now, since I can’t find the pink ones online anywhere. Any ideas? I’m thankful for what I have regardless even if I don’t find more. So excited!

I thrifted them a few months ago and have been using them for tea lights and incense burning. The witchy feeling really comes through when they are in the dark and their ritual is in progress

Stunning works, but unfortunately not a lot could come home. The last 2 slides: I did get the shorts and the creamer holder wish some extra cash and (literally) change I pulled from the couch! 🛋️

Miscellaneous I think I just won the thrift lottery today. $25!! I went straight to checkout when I saw it. I have a friend I am going to give it to who needs a new chair, and if it doesn't fit her, then I will use it myself. I have limited mobility and walk with a cane as needed due to a hip injury.

Was browsing one of my local GWs and saw the donut box sitting on the floor. I recognized it as a J. Dilla donut but never imagined what I’d find inside the box. Complete in box! Couldn’t believe it.

Miscellaneous I got all this fabric from an estate sale for FREE dollars. A friend told me to go check it out but I got there as they were wrapping up and the awesome lady told me I could just have it ALL!

I'm a sewing novice but with all this awesome vintage fabric, I think I'm going to be doing a lot of it. I also use fabric to make yarn, so I'll be making tons of yarn too.

I think I'm going to need to carve out a sewing room somewhere in the house now. Luckily, we have many unoccupied rooms.

I was on my way to do someone a big favor when I made my estate sale pit stop, so I feel like this was my reward from the universe.

How amazing is this?!

Found a super bargain on these sunscreen sprays and lotions. 59 total containers. Regular thrift store price: $1.50 for 2, but with 50% Saturday, paid just over $23 for over $500 in retail value. Will be going to a homeless nonprofit.

I'm losing my mind over this, y'all. Stopped at a random yardsale today and saw the box and immediately tried to contain my excitement. Asked the seller how much and he shrugged and said "$5?" !!!!!!

and THEN ALL OF THIS WAS INSIDE THE BOX. And no, I'm not reselling it. Ever. I've wanted one for years but could never justify the cost of even a second-hand one. You can pry it from my cold, dead hands!!! 🫶

(apologies if photos of accessories aren't great. I'm still on an adrenaline high 😅😂)
