Nothing says Thrift Store Lovin' like stretched out used underwear.

Which of these beauties did you bring home?

Amanda Roper said...

I'm completely jealous of all the lovely things you find at the thrift store. I'm never that lucky!!!

Haha, gorgeous photos! I love the undies.

I really like the suitcases. Great photos!

I think it's lovely that they *hang* the stretched out underwear. Actually, until I got to that shot (and for half a second after), I thought all of these were things you *bought* on Monday.

How do I find a thrift store that sells handmade afghans and old wedding dresses? My local thrift stores just have ugly old XL women's suits with shoulder pads and Forever 21 shirts that were disgustingly cheap and shoddy when they were purchased new. Is this a city/country thing (I'm in the city)?

You are such an awesomely talented photographer! I especially like the one of the little doll/figurine.

caitlin, probably! the thrift stores around here definitely get better the further you get from the city!


these are gorgeous pics! the slips are so lovely and dreamy and i love the ones with the floor in them, it adds a great texture.

do you feel at all awkward taking pictures at the thrift store? i tried taking a few last friday because i was trying to document my day for a project, and i felt very weird, like one of the grumpy old ladies was about to start yelling at me!

Aaah! My place never has afghans that great! I want to just crawl into that photo and curl up under the rack, I'm blaming the snow...
