I got these things at the thrift shop already some time ago, no, a LONG time ago, but hadn’t posted them yet. Actually I should have not bought these, because I just really don’t have the space to store them! I just bought, bought and bought, without thinking if I actually needed them or could store them. But that’s just me. And now I want to get rid of these things, as all my buys are piling up, haha. Selina, if you see my room you don’t think YOU are the one who lives like a pig anymore. I am.
I bought space to store things. Yes I did. But I don’t store jewelry in jewelry cases. It’s just the fact that these were so low priced, and I THOUGHT I could use these for storage. Thought. I don’t. Look, I even bought a metal hook, for jackets or something. Why would I need ONE hook?
This print was just to cute, though it’s quite large, which is the main problem. My dad told me every one had this painting in the seventies in their living room.
I just couldn’t resists these records. Mostly because of the design though. Now I have 5 records lying on the floor of my bedroom. Why should I need records? I don’t have a record-player.
OK, so I bought the porcelain ballet flats because I can’t resist shoes, and the porcelian cat because I can’t resist porcelain cats (I even collect them). But why did I buy a chandelier and a tray? Probably because of the fact the chandelier was dirt cheap, and the tray just because I couldn’t resist the print of the tiny roses in the center. Just because of that. Those are quality-less reasons!
I bought these because of the granny-feeling, and the little one because it’s made out of snakeskin. But still, I don’t need them! Still, I can’t store them!
Do you guys have the same problem with buying things because they are dirt cheap though you either can’t store them or need them? From now on I will be going less to the thrift store, to save myself from buying things I don’t need (not because of the money, but because of the storage), and when I’m at the thrift store I will first put the item back and then consider buying it, about ten times, and finally walk away from it.
I know your problem very well.
At the moment I can’t store all the clothes I bought and they are hanging all over my room!
But even I might be in danger of a shopping rush, can I ask you for the addresses of your fav thrift stores, so I can go there, next time I’m in the Netherlands (I’m living close to the border)
having a dad and his girlfriend who are both crazy about thrift shopping and are buying so much unnecessary stuff, this quite keeps me from doing the same (as I’ve experienced their problem with storage) so this bad example in my family quite helps
haha i do this too much! i always buy videos and watch them once, and i have sooo many bags, they’re just so cheap!
scoff! roxy music is a necessary addition to any music collection…
The paintings are really really cool…
@Carina: Same here. I only go to one, as it’s the only one in my neighborhood, I really should check out more ones. They don’t really sell that amazing stuff, so it’s not a big help when I give you the address. They don’t sell any clothes/bags/shoes.
@Mottje: So, I should my dad get crazy about thrift stores. Well, it’s an idea, haha. Don’t think he will, you can already call our attic a gigantic thirft store.
Waar is die winkel? Ik woon bij je in de buurt en wil daar ook wel eens gaan kijken.
Heeeeel leuk!
You my dear are a Shop A Holic!
it’s okay, the items are lovely.
hahah .. I totally have the same problem. I figure it’s so cheap and in the end I’d probably spend that money on dumb stuff .. so I’d rather buy cool, old stuff!!
