Thrift Score Thursday Magic Mystery Giveaway

Well hello, Thrift Score Thursday lovers!  We are back with our new once a month blog post format and a crazy awesome Thrift Score Thursday Magic Mystery Giveaway!  (We all know what you are winning, but you don’t… trust me, it’s good vintage stuff).Thrift Score ThursdayPinIf you are new here, let me explain just what #thriftscorethursday is.  We want you to participate! Hit up your local thrift stores, craigslist, yard sales, estate sales, side of the road, anything! Thrifty doesn’t necessarily mean from a thrift store. We want to see your good deals, wacky finds and treasures and how you style them in your home.

Don’t feel like you need to save those finds for Thursdays! Yes, features are shared on our blogs once a month and Instagram weekly on Thursdays, but we’re all checking in on (and using!) the hashtag all week long. So, when you see/find it, feel free to share it!  And we love it when you tag your friends to play along, too!

The first Thursday of each month, Brynne from The Gathered Home, Maggie from Maggie Overby Studios and I will pick our favorite thrift scores to feature. So please note that by linking up with#thriftscorethursday, you are giving us permission to share your finds via social media or on our blogs.

I have got five fabulous features for you today.  The only thrifting I have done lately was for the magical mystery giveaway, so I won’t be sharing that with you.  I want it to be a fun surprise.  Hint: some of it is made from something that starts with bra and rhymes with sass.

Thrifted Riches scored this navy velvet vintage sofa for twenty bucks, and I think you all know how I feel about that.  I love my own navy vintage beauty so much.tst-thrifted-richesPinCharlotte at Ciburbanity found the perfect coffee table at her local Habitat Restore.  Love how it looks in her fun eclectic space!tst-ciburbanityPinClaire Designs Things and does she ever…. she found this swag lamp and completely repaired it and gave it new life.  Love it in her bedroom.tst-clairedesignsthingsPinGretchen at Boxy Colonial scored this great corner bookcase and her son told her to paint it green… he was right!  Looks perfect with her thrifted art wall.tst-boxycolonialPinAnd my last feature this month goes to Mandy who found a set of these gorgeous midcentury dressers.  I love their unique drawer detailstst-menoch1Pin

Now it’s time for the fun part….

tst-mystery-christmas-giveawayPin

We have a fantastic mystery giveaway for you (and sorry to say it doesn’t include Maggie’s fancy shiny brass unicorn… we just used that to convey the epic-ness of this event!).  Brynne, Maggie, and I have all gone out and done some special thrift shopping for three lucky winners!  There’s a Brynne box, Maggie box, and Cassie box up for grabs.  I love what I have found for you and I know you will, too. Hop on over to instagram to enter, but if you don’t have instagram, don’t worry!  We are not leaving you out!  Simply comment here and let me know what you hope is inside your mystery box from me. 🙂

Wishing you the best of luck!  May the thrifting gods be shining on you are brightly as this brass unicorn shines.  Cheers!

    Well, from your hint I’m hoping the mystery box includes something made of BRASS. Besides that, the sky is the limit, you always manage to find the most amazing pieces when you thrift shop. I would be honored to open your surprise box.

    What fun! I love thifting, and just this summer I found a beautiful 1921 New Home sewing machine with a lovely wooden cabinet, metal base and the gorgeously ornate machine, including accessories…it was sitting on the side of the road!!! I got so excited, I was shaking. It’s an awesome machine!
    From your hint, I am thinking there is something brassy in your box…mmm…could it be a lovely Christmas reindeer??

    Something fun, like liquor. Or a tchotchke. You know how I feel about tchotchkes. Or an infant. I could use an infant. Then I might feel compelled to decorate for Christmas.
