Giveway Winners!

I was so happy to be able to give away two pretty bags to my wonderful readers :) It's so much fun to spread the thrifted love! Without further ado, here are the two winners, randomly chosen by my adorable hubby from my new $1 boater hat (more on that tomorrow...)

Yay! Congrats Kim D. on winning the modern D & B bag, and Sarah G. on winning the vintage Coach bag! I will be emailing you shortly to get your addresses :)

Hope your Memorial Day was great!

Always,

Thrifting My Stripes!

I found a couple really cool things yesterday while out thrifting, and most of my favorites were found at Good Samaritan. I really love going to this thrift store because it always seems like the least picked-over, and the staff is so friendly :) Since I come in once a week, they recognize me and always say hi, which is so nice.

This week, they had some bags of costume jewelry they were holding for me (I usually grab a couple of the pieces and give the rest to my sis-in-law who makes jewelry). I also found an awesome vintage Capezio striped bag that almost makes up for not being able to find the perfect striped Tshirt. And this great woven fan, which will be just what I need at the Florida beach I'll be at really soon!

Woven Fan, (50 cents); Striped Capezio Bag, ($1.99); Both: Good Samaritan thrift store

I can't say enough great things about Good Samaritan and the ladies who work there. It's especially unique in the Richmond hipster-filled scene to find a great thrift store that has vintage Coach bags like the one I'm giving away (enter here until tonight at 8 p.m. by the way!) and this great Capezio one. And it's where we got our desk that we love and our coffee table too!

I guess that's enough thrift store gushing for one day :) Hope your long weekend is going well, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Always,

Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Splashes of Red

Yesterday was so much fun thrifting! I had the hubby with me since it's his weekend off, so he took my outfit picture and we made our way through three thrift stores and a car junkyard :)

The sun was shining (yay!), but ohhh was it hot (boo!). I wore very lightweight layers, some of which didn't last as the temps rose. Here's my outfit:

Ray Bans, Goodwill in Pensacola; Scarf, Love of Jesus; Wolf T, Goodwill; Jeans, Goodwill; Bass Loafers, Goodwill in Brandon; Red Capezio Bag, Estate Sale; Bangles, Midlothian Antiques (100% Thrifted!)

You want to guess which layers didn't last? Well, the first to come off was the scarf! I guess I was hoping it would be cooler than mid-80s outside when I put it on in the morning. The chambray shirt lasted through the thrift stores, but when we went to Chesterfield Auto Parts (a huge outdoor car junkyard where you can pull parts from cars) it was tied around my waist :)

I had a great Saturday despite the heat, and it was so nice just hanging out with my hubby! I hope your weekend's going well, too!

Always,

Amanda

PS: Remember to enter the giveaway here!!! You have until tomorrow night at 8 p.m. to enter :)

Like Sunshine Through Your Window

I've been meaning to show you all our kitchen windowsill, which holds our now complete vintage insulator collection! I made a point to only get the prettiest turquoise ones, and when the sun shines through them, it is simply beautiful :) (The sun was not cooperating yesterday when I was taking this picture, however!)

Vintage Insulators: Various Thrift Stores, Antique Stores, and Estate Sales, All: Between $1 and $4 Each

As you can sort of see, the view from this kitchen window is mostly of brick, so I like having the lovely sea-colored glass to look at instead of brick and bits of neighbors walking past their windows!

On another note, I am so glad that this is a long weekend! The hubby and I are going thrifting today, and then going over to the in-laws Sunday and Monday. I'll be sure to show you today's outfit tomorrow, and finds throughout the week :) The winners of the giveaway will be announced Monday night around 8 p.m., so go here to enter!!

Always,

Amanda

Another's Treasure Giveaway #3: Vintage vs. Modern!

Yesterday, I was asked in the comments what I do with the things I thrift. As you all know (or maybe not, but now you do!) I have a shop on etsy where I sell cool vintage finds. I use or wear most of the other things you see, and I've given thrifted goodies as gifts for Christmas and birthdays. I've shown you all outfits I've put together with thrifted duds, and I've done giveaways on the blog :) Which leads me to the reason for this post!

I've got the third Another's Treasure giveaway, starting today and ending this Monday night at 8:00 p.m. :) Here's what's up for grabs:

Modern Thrifted Dooney & Bourke Little Bag OR Vintage Thrifted Coach Little Bag

Your choice! I will be giving both of these bags away, so there will be two lucky winners!!! Here's how you enter:

1. Leave a comment with your first name and last initial (ie: Amanda T.), your blog or email address, and your pick: vintage or modern.

2. For another entry, let me know that you're a follower, a Facebook friend, or a Twitter follower :)

That's it :) Good luck everyone! I'm excited to finally do another giveaway :) Follow Another's Treasure on Facebook, Twitter, or Google Friend Connect  for the first scoop on the next giveaway and other exciting thrifting finds! (This giveaway is open to all readers, and the two winners will be selected randomly by the hubby from a vintage hat!)

Always,
Amanda

Red and Mint; Seashells and Butterflies

Now that I've shown you Saturday's finds, it's time to talk about more of Sunday's estate sale goodies :) I have to say that estate sales are edging their way into my heart as a close second to thrifts. There's something so neat about going through a whole house full of treasure, especially when the house itself is as retro and intriguing as the things inside.

Here are some treasures from the first estate sale of the day:

Butterfly Scarf; 80s Shell Belt; Vintage Capezio Bag; Mint Green Costume Necklace: All, Estate Sale 5-23

Pretty lovely, right? :) I've actually been looking for this Capezio bag for awhile- ever since I found the chambray version at an estate sale a couple months ago! It's very roomy, but can be very small in a suitcase, so it's perfect for our Florida trip :)

You all know how much I love finding non-metal jewelry, and I just love the color of the mint green necklace. It was sitting in a box of jewelry marked $1 and everything was 50 percent off!

The butterfly scarf and the shell belt just needed to come home with me. They are so pretty but different, which fits my style just fine.

I hope everyone's last two days of the week fly by so you can enjoy the long weekend :) I know I'm looking forward to it!

Always,
Amanda

Dapper Meets Girlish

Today I bring you the rest of Saturday's thrifting finds. I was excited to find something cool for the hubby for cheap, and also a couple girlie goodies for me and the etsy shop :)

Here they are:

Vintage Kaywoodie Pipe, Goodwill Outlet; Scarf, Good Samaritan; Vintage Glasses, Good Samaritan; Vintage Laura Ashley Glasses Case, Good Samaritan

I was very happy to find the pipe, even though it's stem is broken, since the hubby loves them :)  He has cool wooden displays for them and this one looks great with the others!

The scarf is just so pretty for spring and summer and I can't wait to wear it :)

I'm tempted to take the glass out of these vintage glasses so that I can wear them all the time. They are that awesome.

The Laura Ashley case will most likely end up in the etsy shop. (Which I finally updated a couple days ago-check it out!)

Have a great Wednesday!!!

Always,

Amanda
