nifty thrifty

Hey guyyys. More thrift to share! Busy weekend for me: I volunteered with some friends to work at Blues and Roots so we got tickets to see the night acts- it was exhausting but funnn! I've been cleaning lots of my junk out of our house as well (what can i say, i'm a horder, clearly!). I've done the spare room and my bedroom- now just the kitchen and dining room (oops, that's where the majority of my thrift goes... unsorted!).

But checking everyones blogs has kept me sane :)

Also finding brownie cameras does tend to make me pretty happy!



My new teas set (okay, this wasn't thrifted!). I've been searching for one just like this for a while, so when i found this sweet set at a Vintage shop i was okay with paying a bit more... but not too much more!



Yay, my new brownie and my nally cannisters (You have no idea how long i've wanted these!).



Muahaha. I found more stoneware to match my S&P shakers. Also, the teapot is huge which is kinda handy!



The sweetest, oldest lil golden book :) I am a donkey by the way (a jenny, that is). It was my nickname at highschool, so i've kind of adopted the image.
And these images are cuuute as!





I've been busy makin some lil brooches out of puzzle pieces... quite interesting i think.






My mum bought me a real pony too... called Rufas.
I love my pony.

my favourite find...

Hmm whatever could be hiding in this snazzy bag? i wonder...




Oh, what's this?



Wow, a polaroid, with it's orginal flash!




Wow and it's orignal manual and a flash bar!


Tehe, i was so giddy when i found this. Only $25!!! I've picked up a couple of polaroids for a few dollars each since, but i've never seen one like this, in it's original case with all the special bits and original flash. I'm fairly sure it's worth a bit more than $25 as it's in perfect working order and harrdly scratched. Check out the manual drawings-









Now i can look just like her :P


I'm definately keeping it because you can load the 600 film into it pretty easily. I'll sell the ones i found yesterday though- two land polaroids without flashes- but i also found a really sweet thunderbirds camera which i really wanna keep.


(I was too lazy to take a photo, but this is exactly what it looks like! But you should check out the website i sourced it from: makingthenoise. the link is in my sidebar- it's full of really interesting photographs from lo-fi cameras such as this one. it's sexy)


I'm not sure if it's a sought after collectors item(it's marked 1993) but i'm fairly sure it's genuine, and i love the retro look of it, even if its not worth the $3 :P

So yeah.... it's been pretty exciting thrifting this week. My bf also found an old atari and original nintendo- vintage gaming, whoot. I find it so exciting to think of other items, like my new polaroid, that have obviously just been sitting in someones cupboard for 30 years, waiting to be loved.

Maybe i should start collecting cameras? WOW imagine if i found a bambi camera :) amazing.
