Thrifty Finds


Last weekend my mom and I spent some quality time thrifting in the Philly suburbs. What a great day!  We visited all three Impact stores and spent hours combing through housewares and accessories.  

Just spending the day together would have been enough, however we scored some serious finds that really put the day over the top.  Here's a sampling of what we found:


Leopard pleated skirt which I plan to have hemmed, bright straw trivets, a Whiting & Davis 1930s-40's mesh bag, and my favorite find of the day... a Hermes scarf for $5.99!


Our trip would not have been complete with out a serious scouring of the jewelry cases, and we did not leave empty-handed. 


This straw trivet now lives on my nightstand as a giant coaster.  

You'll be seeing these items in more detail later - either here in a future post or for sale in our Etsy shop.  Please visit if you have a minute.

What's the best thing you've ever found at a thrift store?

A Dress Form

I have been wanting a dress form for a while now.  Not just because I have a sewing machine in a box I swear I'm going to learn how to use.  And not because it's the perfect backdrop to display our items at For Sadie's Sake.  I simply love they way they look, propped in a corner, draped with whatever you last tried on.

So imagine my excitement when, seeking refuge from the blustering wind last Saturday, I stumbled upon the Matthew Izzo moving sale and found this lovely lady tucked away in a corner.  


I couldn't resist her $25 price tag or watching my boyfriend carry her home through the streets of Old City.  I don't yet have a permanent space picked out and she's still looking a bit bare, but I couldn't be happier with my purchase.  You'll definitely be seeing more pictures soon!
