If you follow my instagram, you know that we spent Spring Break in Napa Valley camping with Riley. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do a little thrifting while I was there. In the little town of Cloverdale, CA, I hit the jack pot.
I found a lot of great nick nacky accessories and a fabulous lamp at the local Goodwill.
I found a lamp base and a separate glass fixture and put them together to make a funky lamp.
The art deco-ish glass sconce fit perfectly onto the lamp.
And then I went across the street to The Ice House and found this amazing topographical map of Alaska for just $10.
What have you found thrifting lately? I’d love to hear about your treasures.
I went thrifting yesterday and found a large wood table top like this: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/largeteak.html. Just need to add some legs to it. And two small busts of a little boy and a little girl. Totally creepy but in a cool way.
Awesome!!!! Some hair pin legs, maybe in a fun pastel or neon could be amazing – just a thought 🙂
I am so in love with your lamp! I post my thrift store finds usually once a week at http://poshpurpose.blogspot.com/search/label/Thrift%20Store%20Finds
My favorite project has been my restored lamp http://poshpurpose.blogspot.com/2014/04/thrift-store-lamp-restore.html
Heading to check out your blog right now!!!
great finds! that art deco shade is so lovely. your images make me want to run to a thrift store right now!
The shade is my fave too. Go, go find a thrift store. Who knows what you'll find – it's always an adventure.
You really did do well! I've never seen a map like that, just globes. So cool!
It's fun, right? I think I need to frame it, might have to be a custom job. The hubby was born and raised in Anchorage, AK and my daughter's name is Denali, so this is definitely a keeper.
So so good! You find the best stuff! Just got back from Germany where I went to a spectacular flea market; my favorite pieces are a huge antler shed that customs luckily let me keep, a vintage botanical school poster from the GDR, and a black-and-white striped sugar jar. If I were wealthier I'd be a hoarder.
I saw those finds on your instagram!!! So cool. I hope you had an amazing time in Germany. I loved following you pics.
