I just posted a blog about some neat stuff I picked up while out and about today, and figured I'd share on here.
Hooray for second-hand-shopping success! =0D

I found this couch in a local thrift store. The label says it's from 1971...which is about right (it's RUST ORANGE! how cool is that?!?!) It's clean, it doesn't smell, and it's SUPER cushy!

I got this baby for $80!

Thanks!!! I'm totally in love with it. I slept on it last night! VERY comfy!

I had a great score last Saturday at a street festival here in Toronto. A vintage 50's navy blue dress for $10!! Sweet! : ) I'm gonna have to go to this store more often..I had no idea it existed. It looks authentic..judging from the label but I'm not really sure what year it was made..are there any experts on that here? It says "Union Made-Canada" you know that's old school becuase everything is made in China now..rofl. : P

Swap Meet last weekend, worked it down to $5 for the working pair, 1 has a leather sling! Perfect prop for a shoot Desi has in mind!

That same weekend we also picked up this killer issue of "The Best From Playboy #2" with some great inspirational photos and COLORING BOOK! $0.50 I'll be on the lookout for #1.

Vintage WALDORF hair blower, can't find ANYTHING about it online but it's crazy cool and still works! Color on it is beautiful and sports an adjustable angle handle. This would make a great prop for a shoot! $2 ;-)
