Thrifted Birthday Gifts

It was recently my birthday (June 29th) and Ed got me a few gifts from the antique store!

He knew I had been eyeing them up during a previous visit, so he went back the next day to purchase them (he told me after I opened them of course). Funny thing is, I knew that these items were gone, but never suspected he bought them! We were back in the store at some point between that visit and my birthday and I looked to see if they were still there (they weren't obviously).

This key - key holder (haha) is pretty hefty and made out of metal.

This mirror resembles a cameo, which is what I love about it. Also, it's super unique! I've never seen one like this before. And you might notice, in that first shot I'm wearing the bandana from this post :)

Another key! I suppose this one could hold jackets/hats since the hooks are larger. I had been looking at both of them and at the time didn't know which one I would want, so Ed got me both. No complaints here!

After I took all these photos, I can now only see this smiling face when I look at this key! (I always find faces in things, is that strange?)

All three items come from the Route 65 Trading Post in Lincoln.

Happy Thrifting!

Cameos

I've been a fan of cameos since I got a backpack with one on it in first grade. I don't know why, but I was drawn to it. Of course I no longer have that backpack, but I kept my fascination for cameos. I suppose this post is only half cameos, but I thought these silhouettes fit in perfectly with them.

 

 

This locket comes from the Hometown Flea Market in PA.

This pin comes from a church community yard sale.

This wall decoration comes from (if I recall correctly) Salvation Army in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

I picked this one up at Antique Trove in Roseville, CA. It's called "The Rendezvous".

It's a small, but growing collection (cameos usually aren't cheap). I also have a skull cameo necklace, but it was a gift from a friend, not a thrift.

Happy Thrifting!
