Thrift Share Monday - March

Arabia Cat Pitcher

This last weekend included thrifting at estate sales, Garage Sales, Moving Sales, Thrift stores, Craiglist and a Flea Market. I think I hit nearly every kind of thrifting that there is. The weather was warm and sunny and it felt great to be home again.

Friday was my best day of the weekend with an estate sale with my favorite estate sale company. I found books, jewelry and mid century modern items. I did much better with sticking with my thrift priorities that I mentioned in the last post. I left inventory behind that I could sell but I knew that I didn't want to sell. I spent less but can handle dealing everything I bought. I'm hoping to get all the inventory listed from Friday today and tomorrow.

Saturday took me down to San Jose where I bought 39 pieces of iittala glassware from Finland.

39 iittala Glasses from Finland

The photo doesn't show how fab they are. They are part of the ice style of glasses that iittala is known for. It was fun to thrift in the South Bay and up the Peninsula. I found the Arabia Cat pitcher in Palo Alto at a garage sale.

Adventures of Perrine

This was my favorite find of the weekend by far. It's a book called The Adventures of Perrine and it's my mother's favorite childhood book. She gave it to me to read when I was a child and it quickly became my favorite. My mother gave her very worn copy to Cerys a year and a half ago. I've never ever come across a copy of this until yesterday. It's worth around $75 on Amazon.

Did you go thrifting this weekend?

I love that Arabia cat pitcher, those designs are always so much fun! It's always the best when you find things that are personally meaningful like that book.
You're lucky with your good weather this week. It was rainy and snowy so yard and estate sales were a total bust out here on the East Coast.

What a wonderful haul of finnish goodies! You are also incredibly knowledgeable about books, I find the thought of selling them to be overwhelming...

I say finding Perrine is amazing! Even with that great selling price - will you? Sell? It looks to be in the most wonderful shape! I contend that successful experiences thrifting are "intention & intention & intention"! Everytime clarity is present, (like from your last week's post), I witness incredible, focused items appear before you! Wonderful to read about! Wish I could "Like" you on FB one more time & be #1000!! Congratulations!

I tried the same - leave it it you don't want to sell it - shopping this weekend. First flea and garage sale (3) as opposed to none for a long time. Wrote everything up and put one piece in giveaway. Thanks for hosting.

Love the kitty cat pitcher. I cannot wait for the weather to turn yard-sale warm here, but thankfully the thrifts and estate sales are around!

Hi Selena,
Thrift Share is such a great way to start the week. My post is not about something vintage, but it's about a very special gift (based on an old French painting) from a friend. I thought you might like to see it.
Bye for now,

Thanks so much for hosting & for sharing your fantastic finds and your great ideas. I don't have a blog, but I posted a link to an Arabia Finland Rice vase I have for sale in my Etsy shop. It was my thrift score for the week. I didn't do so well over the weekend -- just a single purchase at an rummage sale.

[Kate at Bibliocycle]

Oops -- "a" rummage sale. More coffee!

That arabia pitcher is incredible. I always die when I find arabia anything to add to my fledgling collection.

Hi there Miss Selena! I've been MIA from the world of blogging for a while but I raced over here to see what you have been up to. Loved the cat pitcher very much.

You look stunning in your photo! I always thought you were a very striking woman :D

Well, I'm going to go back and read what I have missed out on for almost a year!
