Stuff I didn't buy

..but wish I could.
When I'm bored and lonely I often find myself in a thrift store. I can't use/fit/afford what I see, but never let a bargain go unnoticed.
Anyway, here are some bad cell phone photos taken from various sources. You can almost smell the dust and urine, can't you?
lovely old Mardi Gras Indian costume

sideboard



beautiful old desk at the Salvation Army

Old Stove
Cute little chair
Big honkin chair

freaky stuffed poodle

midcentury modern credenza 

Gouache portrait from India at Salvation Army

Barbie's cardboard dreamhouse

gorgeous/tacky lamps
redneck coatrack
Someone's light reading in the bathroom

I was wondering where the hell that stuffed poddle got too. And the Madri Gras ensemble was un-loved by some drag queen I see.

I had that exact cardboard Barbie house. I "slightly" modified it by poking holes to install a coat hanger curtain rod across the width, thus shielding Ken's eyes from seeing the bed when visited Barbie. I thought it wasn't proper he see too soon in the relationship. Sadly, he died when he was thrust off the rooftop in her car.

You should get bored/lonely more often, and resell these treasures to your loyal blog readers, Jason.

Loving the credenza, but it's really about Barbie's Dream House, isn't it?

I am in love with the sideboard and the stove. It sucks seeing all sorts of stuff and knowing you can't have it. Tiens bon! Courage!

Peenee needs the dream house for his linen closet/Barbie doll sex club!
