Eustis Goodwill (6.29)

I forgot that this damn place existed. It was so full of vintage that I had to leave pieces.

Modern, but throwback. 

Ignore the fact that it's from Hollister, look at the sailboats. 


See, Old Navy figured out what I did in the Cat thrift store; chop up 80s sequined blouses to make something new.

A sweet dress.

Argyle reminds me of Bert from Sesame Street.

Wow...

This was pretty cute, the stripes were black and mint. 

Unshoesual...

Vint'.

Also left behind...

Tempting.

I thought about it, but I couldn't picture the buyer.

I quite liked this, it was linen. 

I don't care about scuffs or stains, these are to die for.

I don't know who would wear it, but that cut only existed at a certain point in history. 

Boring, except for the fabric. There was a similar shirt/pants combo at 2nd Time around. Clearly vintage, but not...chic...

Looked like a nightie, was a dress...

I tried this on too big. 

I've never seen glasses like these. Epcot glassware.

Now the mugs have matching glasses...

See!

And these keep appearing!

Mini Brown Betty?

This tin rivals mine in prettiness. 

I've never seen such stuff.

Traditional, "Chubby Bunny" game basket. Just fill with marshmallows and pass from player to player. 

I got some a teapot like these as a gift. 

Fun glaze and look at the glass on the right, I didn't even notice it while there.

*snort*

"I'm a little teapot, short and stout, I have four legs and I'm rusted out!"
