Thrift Store Finds - Tumblr Posts
do you ever find something at a thrift store and think “the previous owner of this item either died or got out of the ‘being fucking awesome’ game,” because there’s no other explanation for why it would be there?
I want the hot dog server, that thing is AMAZING. And I don’t even like hot dogs
This store has a separate selection of really shitty mugs…heres some of the highlights from today.
GUYS! GUYS! GUYS! Look at what I bought at the Thrift Store today!!!
I went to the thrift store to buy clothes and didn't find anything I wanted so I decided to peruse the movie section and I saw this gem! I almost screamed! I LOVE this movie so much; I can't believe I'm so lucky to have found it! I now have two Ewan McGregor movies, yay!
I GOT THEM!!!! And y'all, by the time I got off work there was not just one, not two, but THREE Ewan movies available and I got them all! You know what's crazy? The movies for sale were the next three movies in line for review in order! Moulin Rouge, Black Hawk Down, and Attack of the Clones! Isn't that cool? That brings my Ewan movie collection to five! I also got the movies Red and Red 2. Red 2 was available this morning and I considered getting it but I like the first one better so I didn't want to only buy the sequel. When I got off work, the first movie was available for sale so I went ahead and got them both! I don't think anything can dull my shine today! I shouldn't have bought so much. I'm sure I'll regret it later. Right now, I'm on cloud nine 😁🥰🥳
ALERT! ALERT!
Try to stay calm but THE "MOULIN ROUGE" DVD IS FOR SALE AT MY JOB!!!! I literally said "oh my fucking god" when I saw it. But I can't buy it because I'm on the clock and I still have 4 hours until I clock out 😫😫 I'm so scared that it's going to get bought in that time! It's brand new, still in the plastic, and only 2 DOLLARS! Oh my god, I want it sooooo bad!
Edit: I just got a chance to actually pick it up and take a look and it's not new in the plastic. Doesn't change anything for me of course. Also, another Ewan movie "Black Hawk Down" is available too! There's a good selection of general movies we have today and I'm tempted to buy an armful lol
Another Thrift Score!
Y'all! So there were a bajillion DVDs at the thrift store all week. I'm not kidding. They had so much that they had to start bringing the movies out in buckets because there wasn't any shelf space. I haven't had a chance to go through them all until today. I just kept telling myself "there's way too many movies for there to not be a Ewan one." I felt it in my bones. If he was in one of these buckets, I was gonna sniff him out. Finally, after a long and tedious search of scanning movie titles, guess what was at the very end?
BAM!! I could hardly contain my joy! I knew he had to be there and I knew I would find him! Yayyyy, I'm so happy! 😁 I picked up Chicago too because of my darling Renée Zellweger 🥰. There was a movie called Twisted that I considered getting for Ashley Judd too (she was in Eye of the Beholder with Ewan) but I only had so much pocket money to spend. What a great score!
These are some things I bought today at the thrift store to prepare for Halloween! I wanted to put an outfit together that I can wear on the first of October.
My plan was to buy one full costume, but I had such a hard time and ended up finding different pieces for different costumes instead of one full costume. 🤷
Okay, so I know I said that I wouldn't do Curt Wild because of his inappropriate outfits. But y'all! Look at those pants! Are they not Curt's pants from his "Gimme Danger" scene??? I HAD to get them! There was also a microphone prop for sale (I didn't buy it). It was like a sign. If I can find some sexy, black, platform boots then fuck it, I'm dressing as Curt Wild. I might even go all out and buy a blond wig 👀.
I actually went to the store with the intention of putting together a thrifted Obi-Wan costume, but Jesus, it was impossible. I was almost tempted to just buy a Rey costume off the rack and call it a day but I'm glad I didn't. I did get some nice, super cheap, khaki pants out of it though. (Not pictured).
So far, it looks like Michael Jackson in "Remember the Time" will be my first costume. I have everything I need except the gold turtleneck. I also want to dress as him during his "Bad" era since I have a wig from last Halloween that I think I can turn into a mullet.
Anyway, the hunt for a Ewan costume continues!
Pro tip: MEN! Don't be afraid to shop in the women's section for your Halloween costume! They have all the good stuff, I'm telling you!
At my job, we're allowed to wear Halloween costumes throughout the month of October!
It'd be a shame if I didn't dress up as at least ONE Ewan McGregor character.
Obi-Wan is probably the only genuine costumey character, but in the very likely event that I can't find the materials to do his outfit, I need a backup.
Can you guys help me brainstorm costumes to put together?
I THRIFTED A JEDI COSTUME!!! I did it, everyone! I'm so proud!
Okay, so I gave up on trying to do an Obi-Wan costume specifically. People weren't going to recognize me as Obi-Wan even IF I had every screen accurate piece of clothing. I decided to just focus on making a generic Jedi costume whenever I got the time, but in the back of my mind, I figured it just wasn't going to happen. 🤷
On Friday, I'm doing a Stranger Things costume with some coworkers so I went on Pinterest to get some ideas and BOOM there was an ad for a Jedi cosplay for sale and it made me realize that I was seriously overthinking the costume! The cosplay in the ad gave me a whole new perspective on what I could put together myself!
After work, I shopped at the thrift store for my Stranger Things costume and didn't find what I needed so decided to give the Jedi costume another try. Guys. I'm SO happy with how this turned out!
I should've taken a picture before I put it in the wash 🤦 but I'll show y'all when it's done!
