What I'm Wanting: An Animal Sweater!

I've really been wanting and searching for an animal sweater for ages! And I still haven't found one, so it's still on the top of my thrift list :)

Here's a pretty amazing one on etsy right now:

Hmmm. If it was only a couple dollars, that baby would be mine! Here's to hoping I find one just as good while I'm thrifting this morning :)

Hanover County, 1970

Do you guys always see old rusty license plates at antique shops for $20 or $30? I know I do!

While I think they are totally awesome, I'd never pay that kind of money for an old rusty license plate :) However, for less than a dollar- sold!

1970 License Plate, Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

Yup, this baby is definitely going on our apartment wall :)

On another note, I decided to close up the Another's Treasure etsy shop after about a year of selling. It was a fun hobby, but I just didn't have enough extra time to make it great. Maybe someday I'll have a whole little (real) shop of my own!

Have a great Thursday :)

Always,
Amanda

The Puppy and the Bird

I seem to be finding a lot of animal-type things at the thrifts lately! I have some great animal goodies in the etsy shop, like an 80s Alf puppet, a 60s or 70s Curious George stuffed animal, some 70s butterfly wall art, a parrot wooden box, an owl wine stopper, and soon these:

Aren't they adorable?? I love the little stuffed dog pillow! I always see cat ones, but this puppy is way cuter :)

And I'm also a big fan of 70s animal wall art like this hummingbird. I have so many birds and butterflies on my walls, that I'm listing this little guy in the etsy shop too!

I hope everyone's week is going well :)

Amanda

Where Can I Find That? ((The Shell Necklace))

I love my shell necklace. It's made many appearances on the blog, and it was the perfect summer accessory! I'm sure I'll be sporting mine even when the weather cools. Here's one that's now available on etsy so you can too :)


She Sells Sea Shells Necklace, CityofKaris etsy Shop

My lovely gold-trimmed shell resides on a silk chord due to my metal allergy, but I'd say that this one is pretty similar otherwise!

I hope everyone has a great weekend :) My mom is here, and I have Monday off, so you can bet that I will!

Always,
Amanda

Thrifting Favorites!

I found some really lovely things on Saturday :) Most I added to the etsy shop, but a few I just had to keep! (For now, at least :))

Here are my favorite 'to keep' finds:


Vintage Locket Pin; Vintage Celluloid Frame; Vintage Compact; Awesome Stone

 I found the first two items at Midlothian Antiques for four bucks! The guy who rang me up was like, "You have a good eye. A really good eye!" It totally made my day :)

The second two vintage goodies I picked up at a small thrift store I hardly ever go to. (I actually can't remember the name of it!) The compact was two bucks and the stone was a buck :)

The hubby and I found some great things at Sunday's estate sale, too! Tomorrow I'll have the first 'Big Mustard' outfit of the season, and I have great finds to show you throughout the week.

Oh, and don't forget to check out the newly updated etsy shop!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: The Return of the Jacket

I woke up yesterday morning, and it was finally cool enough to wear a jacket and layers! Ahhhhh, fall. You are my favorite. I even grabbed a fallen leaf for my outfit photo!

Vintage Ray Bans, eBay; Jean Jacket, Goodwill; Floral Shirt, Target Clearance ($3!); Floral Scarf, Goodwill; Khaki Pants, Target Clearance ($4!); Vintage Coach Purse, Goodwill; Leather Fly London Flats, Goodwill Outlet

I'm totally loving my newly thrifted vintage Coach bag, which is the perfect size for thrifting!

Speaking of awesome, I listed a ton of great vintage things in the Another's Treasure etsy shop yesterday! From a vintage Dooney & Bourke bag to a vintage Curious George, there's something you'll love :)

Always,
Amanda

What I'm Wanting: A Fall-Time Poncho

I was browsing etsy the other day and ended up looking mostly at fall items. Unfortunately, it's not quite fall in Richmond yet, but I'm looking forward to when it cools down a bit!

On the top of my fall thrift list is an earth-tone 70s poncho. You know, something that goes well with changing leaves and crisp air.

Here's one that I've got on my etsy favorites list:

Vintage 1970s Poncho can be purchased HERE in the etsy shop Baptuma

Of course, I'm still on the hunt for the perfect cowboy boots, too. Ahh, fall. Please come soon!

I have to work this morning (sigh) but I will be hitting the thrift stores as soon as I get off! What's on your list for fall?

Always,
Amanda

What I'm Wanting: Saltwater Sandals :)

How did you all like the hubby's first post yesterday? He was a little nervous, but I think it'll be fun to have a guy's perspective!

Anyway, I have to work this morning, but I will definitely be heading straight to the thrift stores after :) Here's what I'm looking for: (A dream find, really.)

Saltwater Sandals, Available Here on Etsy

I've been hunting for some for about a year, but I just know they'll turn up someday! Do any of you have Saltwater Sandals?

Have a great weekend!

Always,
Amanda

PS: I have a new Thrifty Blogger of the Month I'll be posting tomorrow, so I'll post my thrifting outfit later today :)

Circle Sunglasses: Old and New

So, I found the perfect vintage circle aviator-style sunglasses on Saturday while thrifting. Then, an hour later, I found the perfect pair of new circle sunglasses on super-clearance at Marshalls!

Naturally, I got both and decided to wear them around to see which I liked best. Since the new ones are Cynthia Rowley and stay on my little nose better, I chose them :)

Here are both, side-by-side:

Vintage Round Aviators, Another's Treasure Etsy Shop; Cynthia Rowley Vintage Honey Sunnies, Marshall's

I love the vintage ones, but the new sunnies are so perfect for me that I know I won't wear them enough. Off to the etsy shop they go!

I've been trying to post more items in the shop, but it's been way too darn hot to take pictures outside. I've just kind of settled on decent indoor ones until it cools down a little bit :)

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Always,
Amanda

What's New in the Etsy Shop!

I was saying yesterday that I found a bunch of great pins and jewelry for the etsy shop, so I thought I'd show you some of what's new! I have a bunch of things to list this weekend, but I couldn't wait to list these adorable little goodies:

Red Eyed Owl Pin; Little Turtle Pin; Two Silly Little Clowns Pins; Large Tiger Hoop Pin: All, Another's Treasure Etsy Shop

I've already sold a super-cute doggie pin, and there are so many more to list and share with you all at super-affordable prices :) I'm also going to go through my personal stash of neat vintage items, including a vintage Coach purse or two and some awesome scarves!

Well, I'm off to work all morning, and then I get to thrift all afternoon :) Here's hoping that I find some awesome goodies to share with you all!

Always,

Amanda

What I'm Wanting: Sandals and Stripes!

I've been searching my favorite thrifts for months looking for the perfect striped short-sleeve shirt. So far, no dice. I have found the one striped sweater that I wore a couple weekends ago, but it's a little too thick for this warmer weather we're having.

So, I'm still on the search!

Another thing on my list due to the arrival of warm days? Some leather sandals! While I love my Dollar Tree flip-flops (and they are surprisingly comfy) I know they'll break any second now. So some sturdier sandals like these are on my list:

Leather Sandals From grandmafliesabroom esty shop

So, I'm off to (hopefully) find what I'm looking for for myself, and also some things for the etsy shop! I haven't updated it lately due to travelling and being sick, but I promise to get some new goodies up by tomorrow :)

Hope you have a great Saturday!

Always,

Amanda

Etsy Springtime Favorites Weekend: Day Two

Since I'm out of town this weekend, I'm scheduling today's and tomorrow's posts to post in my absence :)

Remember the recent Rodarte for Target collection? I wasn't too impressed when I saw it in the stores, but on some of my favorite bloggers the pieces are amazing! I overlooked it at first because it seemed to be all dresses, and I somehow missed the awesome lace cardigans. Darn. Now, they are about $60 on eBay...no thanks. However, I did find a similar one on etsy:

On the hanger, these look like nothing too special, but as a sweet, lightweight spring layer, they are perfect! Now, if only I can find one at a thrift store for $5 or less... Wish me luck!

I hope everyone had a great weekend- I'll have an update on mine and plenty of photos this week :)

Always,
Amanda

Etsy Springtime Favorites Weekend: Day One

Since I'm out of town this weekend, I'm scheduling today's and tomorrow's posts to post in my absence :)

My current etsy favorites list is huge, and I love every single thing! Etsy makes for the best eye candy and thrift inspiration :) First on my list, this beautiful (already sold, boo) boater hat:

I see so many of my favorite bloggers sporting these cute spring/summer hats that I would love to find one! It would be the perfect hat to finish off my little straw hat collection :) Would you sport a boater hat?

Always,
Amanda

What I'm Wanting: Vintage Alice and Summer Clothes!

I'm pretty sure I told you all that I saw Alice in Wonderland in the theatres a couple weeks ago. I thought it was good, but I'm really glad I didn't read the book first. 'Cause I just read it, and it was crazy! I don't know how I never read it before now, but it's quickly become a favorite. I wasn't able to find a vintage copy at my favorite thrifts, so I just bought the $4 cheapo soft cover version. I'd love to have an awesome vintage copy, though, like this one on etsy:

1970 edition of Alice in Wonderland from this etsy store

What else will I be searching for this afternoon? (I have to work all morning.) Summer clothes! Although it's cooled down a bit again, the recent 90-plus temperatures have me longing for some summer florals and lightweight things. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Always,

Amanda

PS: I've listed a small "springtime collection" to my etsy shop- go check it out!

I've Got Bows on the Brain, I Guess!

As most of you know by now, I am quite a tomboy :) I pretty much never wear dresses or skirts, and I can't walk well in heels! But for some reason, I've become enamored with bows. I've gotten my hair bows, and bow barrettes, and now...bow flats!

Vintage Sam and Libby Flats, From This Etsy Shop

After I bought my rather large collection of vintage Ts, I thought I might should buy something girlie. When I found these, I was smitten!

Now, I know you can find these at thrift shops, and I often do, but they tend to run about a size small and I always find tiny ones. These are size 9, so they should be perfect :)

Anyway...I'm headed to my favorite thrifts again this morning with the hubby, so I will have finds and an outfit picture coming soon! Have a wonderful weekend!

Always,

Amanda

New In The Shop: Awesome 80s Hair Bows!

I couldn't believe it when I found a box full of new old stock 1980s hairbows at Goodwill last night! They are awesome! Of course, I grabbed all they had :) When I got home I realized I probably didn't need six hair bows...so I picked out two (which was so hard!) and put the rest up in the etsy shop before I could change my mind! Here are the ones available now for $2.50 each:

All available at Another's Treasure: The Little Shop Of Treasures!

I was just so excited about them that I had to share :) I'm sure you'll be seeing the two I picked out very soon- I can't wait to rock them with my vintage Ts all spring and summer! Happy Friday everyone :)

Always,

Amanda

New Obsession: Vintage Ts For Cheap!

I've been on the hunt for super-soft vintage tshirts for the longest time- I've just never had any luck at my favorite thrifts. Etsy searches turned up $10 to $20 shirts plus more for shipping...too much for this bargain hunter! Just when I was about to throw in the towel, I tried eBay. And boy, did I score! Here are 4 of the 7 vintage Ts I got yesterday:

A whopping $5 each from this awesome seller :)

Awesome, right? And since I got 5 from the same seller (all of the ones shown plus one more), I got free shipping :) These awesome shirts will get me through spring and summer without a sweat (literally!). I can't wait to rock them!

Happy Thursday- the weekend draws near!

Always,

Amanda

PS: I'm still not feeling any better, but hopefully by this weekend I'll be breathing through my nose again! (TMI?) :)

What I'm Wanting: Chambray and Stripes!

The past couple thrift outings I've been on, I've kept a lookout for some spring-y shirts. Although I know that winter isn't over, after a survey of my closet, I realized I didn't have many warmer-weather clothing options! So, that is what I am searching for this weekend, specifically a chambray shirt and a red-and-white striped shirt like these:

Left, from this etsy shop; Right, from this one

It would be great if I found both! Because my payday isn't until Tuesday and the rent's due Monday, though, I have an even smaller budget than usual this Saturday. But that's the magic of thrift stores! I'm sure I can find all sorts of treasures, even for under $20 total!

Always,

Amanda

Pinned

You know when you're out thrifting, and you seem to find a bunch of one type of thing? Well, that happened to me this past weekend. I found a bunch of vintage pins, which brought back memories of middle school backpacks decorated with them :) To top it off, the ones I found were quite humorous!

My favorite? 'Cuddle up with a dancer'! Is it meant to be innocent or not-so-much? We'll never know! The 'go fly a kite' one is a close second, and you can find it in the Another's Treasure etsy shop here.

I hope that everyone is having a great week so far! Oh, and thanks for the emails with thrifting questions- I love to answer them and they totally make my day!

Always,
Amanda
