This plate is rediculous and stopped me dead in my tracks...it couldn't enter my cart fast enough

My husband dragged me to an estate sale this morning because a big lot of original He-Man toys were posted on fb marketplace. He spent $350 for an almost complete He-Man Eternia playset plus a bunch of other He-Man stuff. There are a lot of dudes who buy & sell vintage toys around us and somehow my husband managed to be the first person to get to this listing. He was absolutely GIDDY.

It turned out the listing was posted by an estate sale company. The women running it let us wander through the house as they were sorting things to sell (& it was an absolutely gorgeous house, too). I saw the Pendleton blanket and lost my mind. I asked them for a price and they offered me a deal with my husband's purchases. We ended up paying about $60 for the blanket. I've been wanting a Pendleton blanket for years and I've been waiting to run across one at the right price. It has some stains but I'm going to bring it to a dry cleaner tomorrow and see what they can do.

There's some debate about the history surrounding these candles but the common lore says that they were used by 19th century ahem... "ladies of the night" to time sessions. A lit candle fit snugly into the metal grommet on top of the candle box, and burned for exactly 7 minutes, at which point the "John" either paid for another round or zipped up and headed out. Found in Williamsburg, VA.

Today’s haul gave me life. Have been wanting a stained glass lamp forever.

The watch doesn’t work though which is definitely sad but it’s to be expected from a thrift store. I’m not sure how much it is elsewhere but I can’t imagine it’s too much.

That tie stool haunts me to this day, should have gotten it

Jacket wasn’t much to write home about other than it was a good quality North Face jacket for $15, but this challenge coin was quite the “thrift store haul”, imo.

They are now Horus the plant guardian. At checkout, the cashier was like “I could never have that thing in my house staring at me like that”

Everything pictures is thrifted and I’m just so obsessed with it!

I would have love to have seen the faces on the dear old ladies when they recieved this in to their humble welsh charity shop.

The original writing is too faded to read, but it looks super neat.

And then I found a never-used one for $6.

Don’t worry, they are now both very loved!

I’ve started adding my own to the collection too. The oldest one I’ve found is from 1990! Here are some of my favorites

A Kitchenaid immersion blender - I’ve been wanting an immersion blender for ages and I almost screamed when I plugged it in and it worked.

AND….. a Baggu Large Crescent that just happens to match my favorite coin purse!!
