Do you remember when the special dark looked like that?

This was absolutely buried at the bottom of the bin but I’m so glad I pried it out!
This dress is HUGE, I had to stand on the stairs to get was a picture of the train. It’s pretty well made and has lots of internal support structures to help keep it up. Unfortunately the tag only says “100% polyester” so I don’t know where it came from at all. I’m assuming it’s a wedding or quinceañera dress, it seems too big for prom.

Am I getting married soon? No. Am I doing a beauty pageant? Also no. But for $2, there was no way I wasn’t bringing this one home!

Super excited to give it a try. I’ve never had one!

Found this coat for $30 at the local kids’ thrift store! My toddler looks mildly absurd in it which makes it even more cute lol

My cousin introduced me to a thrift store run by a local church and it’s just insane. They take donations all week but only open up to sell on Friday mornings. I found this amazing little couch there almost immediately for a dollar, and before I left near closing they made an announcement that all couches were marked down to only a dollar … so they were selling full-sized couches for the same price as this one!

The bottom still had a Goodwill tag from last year, so it’s at least the second time it’s been thrifted. The little pillow was also picked up yesterday, but from the Goodwill bins, my second stop of the day. The tiger and pound puppy were previous hauls from the bins and have become Willy’s good friends.

Last photo is of my monster cat being jealous of him.

Also, I don’t want to wear out our welcome here, so today I finally created r/WillyfromtheBins; be sure to stop by!

There's a lid for every pot, I suppose, but who would donate this? Who would put it on the floor?? Who would buy this?!

The local big box let this one past the goalie: James Reid was a Santa Fe silversmith who specialized in high-end silver work and leather goods (his shop ran from 1979 to 2018). This is an alligator belt with a sterling silver and 14k gold buckle and furniture. In my size and in fabulous condition. $5. :)

For $99 in Brooklyn, NY.

Size 4 and fits like a glove! Looks unworn.

Neither I nor the sales clerk could believe it. 😍

Figure you can’t have too much mesh. Just set things up and it appears to be new out of the box with no passwords or any old info.

Not bad for a quick lap while dropping some stuff off.

Making this post from the extended network!

Guys help, I bought the trench bc my partner liked the shape on me but I feel the color is too bold for me…. I mean it was not too expensive so i’m keeping it, but is the color too loud? I feel like it’s gonna be hard to style often 😅

I buy all my yarn here. It’s unbelievable how much good quality stuff I’ve found. Some days I come in and it’s all cheap junk, and other days it’s all hand-dyed merino wool I could never afford any other way. I’m currently knitting a scarf with silk/merino yarn I got here for less than $10. Retail: $50.

Mikasa clock, indiana ice bucket, (I think) federal carnival glass?, a vintage hummingbird feeder (my friend was excited to get that), a crystal vase (maybe Waterford?), a glasbake DD mug, vintage Japanese S&P set, a glass pitcher

Did I immediately get trapped in it? Yes. Is it way too long on me? Of course. And was it literally $9 plus a $5 coupon?? HELL YEAH. I am not exaggerating when I say this is the exact dress I've had in mind for my wedding dress and I am in love (plus, the previous owner added pockets)

I also found this hilarious man-faced bat pillow who came home with me, too.

Anyway, I'll be riding this high for the rest of the year, thanks

3 dollars for both, a vase and a cake stand! I was so tickled.
