Even though we haven’t been posting, we’ve been thrifting. Â It’s hard to maintain our thrifting habit, the Etsy shop, and the blog with a newborn, so even though we have big plans for blog posts, inevitably we’re too tired at the end of the day for much of anything. Â You guys, we go to bed at 10pm now! Â We’re old. Â Sigh.
Since Miss S was a month old, we’ve been taking her to the occasional thrift. Â We strap her into her Beco carrier and off we go down the aisles! Â Sure, the little old ladies give us the side-eye because she’s so young, but I think parents of my generation are learning that it’s important to maintain some semblance of normalcy amidst the storm. Â It’s been good for me to get out-and-about. Â Mr. Butter still goes to the occasional estate sale, but Miss S can’t sit in the car and wait around, so I have to stay home and miss all the fun.
Today, Miss S and I visited two thrifts. Â Even though there was a major diaper blow-out at the first (oh you guys…it was not pretty), we managed to dip ourselves in hand sanitizer and move on. Â We don’t usually find a lot since we can only go to a few stores, but today we found some cute items for the shop. Â The first is a Figgjo Flint wall plaque or trivet. Â I love Figgjo’s happy designs and this one is sure to strike someone’s fancy! Â We also picked up a Harvey’s Lake Tahoe bucket mug and inside the mug are two kokeshi perfume bottles. Â The faces on the bottles are hand-painted, so each is a little different. Â Given my kokeshi obsession, I couldn’t resist them! Â Finally, we found an articulated brass candle holder. Â I absolutely love these, especially for a holiday centerpiece. Â Everything will be in the shop early next week, so let me know if you want me to reserve something for you!
Oh no! a diaper blow-out…I don’t think I could have managed it! Glad you got out and found some great pieces today 🙂
Oh yeah, you gotta get them out and about. Good for both of you I think…makes babies more easy going. Love your finds, especially the Figgjo and the candle holders. Cute and lovely, just like the babe!
Nice. Our lil guy is 8 months today and I have lugged him into thrifts before. My local little old ladies want to touch his hands and face tho, and the germophobe in me freaks out inside!!
