Pinch Me!

Someone please pinch me because I must be dreaming! Today I went thrift store shopping with my family and some family friends, and I cannot believe what I found. Am on cloud nine feeling so happy and thankful. Well enough talking- let my finds speak for themselves...


First off I found this darling vintage evening purse. It is a shimmery gold and has small pearls sewn into the top. The clasp and chain are also gold... and it was only $1!


Next are these two gorgeous petticoats! They are both vintage beauties, and are in perfect condition! I have another which is slightly puffier, but I only wear it on special occasions because of how fragile it is. These two will be put to good use! The one above is fuller and more crisp, which will make for the perfect petticoat to twirl in. The one below is also full, but less poofy. The lace trim is simply precious, and I am sure this will become a staple of my wardrobe. The petticoats were only $2.75 each. WHAT! Yes, I wrote that correctly! For $5.50 I bought two vintage petticoats while a  petticoat at Modcloth ranges from $52.99 to $59.99 (and that isn't even talking about the pricing of a vintage petticoat at Modcloth) !


And these are the find of the day. A almost fainted when I saw these! They are so gorgeous, and in perfect condition. When I saw them in the glass case I began frantically motioning, and I was so impatient to get them that I was considering breaking the glass!! They are gorgeous,fit perfectly, and I am so in love that I could go on and on!

When I saw the price for these beauties I swore that I must be seeing things! They must have been priced incorrectly! But no, my eyes were not playing tricks on me. Each of the hats was marked only $1. I was so happy, and as soon as the associate handed them to me I clutched them to my chest and didn't even want to let go so they could be purchased! 

I am sooo happy! For $8.50 I got a vintage purse, two vintage petticoats, and two vintage hats. 
That is a dream come true if I ever saw one!
