Some of my favorite finds..thrifting!

Who knew thrifting could be so fun??? Seriously! Ben and I like to do it pretty frequently, and come up with some pretty cool stuff. I found one pair of awesome boots...black, knee-high equestrian boots by Donald J Pliner..his boots normally go for anywhere from $200-$500. My favorite part is that the stamp inside the boot says "made by the sea in Italy". The boots were at Stars Antique Mall in West Moreland. If you have never been, you should check it out! Amazing find at only $25!!! Because I don't wear heels anymore, I have decided to get the most awesome boot collection ever..I have a pretty good start on it so far :)

And, I found this ultra-cool brown "leather" jacket at Value Village..it comes from Madrid, so anything from Europe is automatically way-cooler than anything here..just under $20!!!! I have never seen anything like it, and I can even zip it up! Now, that is a plus!

Onto the housewares..I found these little nifties at the bins...the more proper name is the Goodwill outlet in Milwaukie, just off McLoughlin. I came upon a little casserole

baker, otherwise known as a Dutch oven, in this really cool orange-red color..on the bottom, "made in Belgium", and numbered. I also found this cool little butcher block. Now, I'm picky about what I get at the bins..but, if you can deal, they

have some amazing finds! Ben showcased his stuff he found on his post yesterday. The cool thing about the bins..you pay per pound, except for furniture, or other items as

marked. So, my Dutch oven cost me about $6..I checked online after I got home, and it turns out it is Descoware, a brand of enamel cookware made in Belgium until

about the 70's...pretty sweet! These little babies go for anywhere from $40-$75 online..I just had to share, because it's just so fun, and like treasure-hunting every day!
