i have a few basics "rules" i try to stick with.
-no more than $10 for "wall art"
- i get rid of at least 1 old thing when i bring in 1 new (N does too)
-if i'm not sure, i'll set the item back down & keep looking. if it nags in my head i may go back.
i actually get a thrill out of NOT buying things & being able to put something back over half of the time. my taste ranges in everything from hand made wood stuff to ethnic art to toys!
 |
| got the shelf for $7.50 auction & painted pink. now shows a fraction of the She-Ra |
 |
| $7 at antique store. handpainted/signed & numbered i LOVE blue & brown together |
 |
| $4 garage sale. Black Window MIP! favorite bike on a fav show |
 |
| $3 same garage sale as above. i devoured otter pops when i was a kid (usually unfrozen) |
 |
| $3 tv & $1 vcr from different garage sales. since we have free basic cable here, why not have tv in the spare bedroom? |
 |
| $35 auction. a bit pricey but it was down to me & 1 guy. it's the story of Buddha's life in english & vietnamese. |
 |
| $7.50 auction- the wood lamp. not the timer or mug O pens. |
 |
| $1.25 antique store. i'm a sucker for stuff from my birth year. |
 |
| $5, $12, $12 antique stores- my latest look-fores are vintage glasses. i have given myself a 12 piece limit..at 7 so far. the white frosted fair glasses look soooo cool with pepsi (or other dark beverage) in them. |
 |
| $1 antique mall. an old school hard plastic frisbee with no dog teeth marks! |
 |
| $6 antique store. the green looks way better in real life. made in japan. |
 |
| $12 antique store. the final item. it was labeled as "oriental man", oblivious to the racistness i hope. $3 antique mall for the yinyang balls. |
