Cheap Thrills
I do adore thrifting. For example, these grey, slouchy boots (with the smallest heel even I can handle) combined with a skirt only cost me $3. The gold bird-cage item was an impulse purchase since I have no idea what to do with it. And then we have the men's brown fedora and a lady's grey hat.

Those boots are fantastic! Whenever I go into thrift stores I always hope on finding boots similar to those, or maybe even a Frye. Ive never been successful in the shoe department though. I love the bird cage too. I can't wait until I can get my own place to fill it with eclectic thrift store treasures.
I never find good boots thrifting! And a birdcage, who needs a use for a birdcage?!? They're awesome for anything... you could keep bills in it and it would still be chic and unique.
those boots are the best.
Thrifting definetley has its ups and downs. I find good things once in a while. Like my cape, although that wasnt thrifting it was pure expensive vintage.
But here and there I find things, like sweaters and stuff.
The shoes are nice, and the hats are great. I never could pull off hats like those. I'm still envious of you lucky ones who can. Nice buys, even the impulse birdcage. It's nice to look at, if nothing else.
aah stop taunting me, I neeeed to go thrifting!
You have to put the most amazing thing you own in that birdcage.
You always end up with amazing pieces, but that birdcage is making me smile. I want to make it into a giant necklace. Ooh! Post idea... thanks!
(Happy new year!)
oh my, i loveeeeee the hats!
happy new year!!!!
Those boots are pure love! I wish I was as lucky as you when I go thrifting.
I love those hats!

You have such good luck thrifting!
I adore the bird cage and the boots (and, well, everything else!)
i just lost out on an antique birdcage!! you might sense a trend here haha.
the box behind the boots caught my eye the most though. I've been looking for a vintage trunk, or a set for my travels. I confess, too many old movies lately...
A belated Happy New Year! Ok, I must really be out of it/lame since you are only the 2nd person I've heard use 'thrifting' as a verb...
I love thrifting, too but unfortunately we don't have so much good thrift stores here in Germany :(.
The boots are great, so is the birdcage!

Awesome finds... like how they all sort of stick to one palette...
Those boots are fantastic! Great finds!
The boots are fantastic (and I love the little heel on them), and the birdcage is a truly lovely find, for some reason it's reminding me of children's books. Maybe you could use it to keep small, delicate things in (presuming that you don't want a pet bird)?
The ladies hat is just gorgeous; I want it!
And I adore the little gold birdcage; who needs a purpose when something is that adorable?!
Oh wow, i love this stuff! Those hats are fabulous and I love the bird cage! The shoes were a great find.
that's lovely stuff you bought! I love those boots and the bird-cage. well, I'd useit for decoration and put something like flowers inside (:

First of all, Happy New Year, and second, I love the beige hat!!It's lovely

I love the hat!!! It is so so so cute!
My sister bought the very same boots(non-thrift, and no little heel) for 40 dollars,anyways Good on ya and love the blog!
This is making me exciting for my thrifting adventures in PA after the big move!
I love those boots,I got a similar pair for Christmas and they were off of ebay for approx 30.00!!(I give out my suggestions!!)
Oh I love the bird cage and the hats, so pretty!

haha im a bit jealous
you have to buy a bird now :) ! If I were a bird I would be thrilled to live in that cage !
Really Really good findes!
The Birdcage is so amazing.
i also would have bought the birdcage right away - birds are my favorite animals. maybe you find a lovely fake bird to put into it.
Shoes + Hat you're after my heart with this topic.
Lovely all of it.
The birdcage reminds me of "Purple Bottle" by Animal Collective.
A trapeze is a bird cage
even if its empty
it defintintely fits the room
And we would, too
Those may not be exact, of course
