Gel

Yet another item that screams thrift store! Gently used items at a discount price.

Blue Pill

Because who wouldn't want to buy viagra at a thrift store?

This is an extremely rare set of bone china. Knowles Taylor and Knowles were known for hotel and restaurant style china dishes. When I was researching this company, it was so interesting. They only managed to make bone china for a few short years. They managed to win many awards though. It was arguably the finest bone china produced in America. Sadly they couldn't keep producing it because it cost so much more than what they made on it. During the firing process only 1 out 12 attempts were successful. They were still using the kilns that were made for their sturdy china. The delicate filigree couldn't hold up. Interesting history from an interesting company. Very early 1900s. ~1904

Awkward Shirt

There was an advertisement on the back for hemorrhoid removal. Everyone should wear shirts like this.

Mardi Gras Mask

I thought it looked super cool.

Teeth

Thank you for this replication of your mouth. I'm sure it will be a hot seller.

Free Sofa

We get junky sofas dumped off all the time. We put them out front for free. This picture is when your free sofa is worth more than your car.

Queen Amidala

I couldn't resist the selfie opportunity.

Upcycled

After looking at the ridiculously over-priced plastic vanity choices, I decided to try making my daughter one with donations. The mirror was $3 and the night stand was $5.
