Things I Didn’t Buy From the Thrift Store: A Photo Essay

This lovely set of witches that look like they’ve had their faces smashed in:

A brown denim inspired set of kitchenware that was much more elaborate than what you see here: 

Seriously, it had everything from plates to mugs to a gravy boat. And some of the pieces had names on them! 

This splendid piece of pottery: 

Is it Rafiki? No really, tell me. Is it? 

Tampons: 

They had so many tampons. So many. 

My kitchen table:

This floral couch:

I actually love old couches like these so much and might someday drag one home . Scotty will be thrilled.

I’d already held it. Ew. But also, I’m not a germaphobe, so whatever. My hands are washable. 

A toilet timer: 

 

I almost got it for Scotty. He could benefit from a limit. 

This baby doll:

You can’t tell from the photo, but the wording is totally off center. Like my soul. 

This book based on the Weirdest Movie of All Time: 

 

Please tell me you watched this as a child. 

And last of all, a book about how to make your husband not lazy (written by a man):
