Hi there, do you remember Treasure Trove Tuesdays?!
It's been a hot minute since I've shared my latest thrifting finds so I thought it was about time!
If you are new to LVC, Treasure Trove Tuesdays are where I share what I've most recently found at the thrift stores, what I paid for each item, and how much I think I can resell it for in my Etsy shop.
Please note, I am not an appraiser or an expert on values by any means but I have been selling online, starting with eBay and now Etsy for over 17 years so I think I have a pretty good idea of what I can sell something for 😋
Treasure Trove Tuesday - My Latest Thrifting Finds
I also end up keeping some of the things I've found (a girl only has so much willpower 😂) so I'll share those first.
I was super excited when I found this little guy! I always check them out when I see them at the antique stores, I love them so... but they are always too expensive for me.
After doing some research, I've learned that he is a Goebel Monk (sometimes called Friar Tuck). You can see on the bottom it is marked "Made in W Germany."
Here he is with the other little monk liquor decanter that I have.
Price $2.99, Value $15 - $30 (but I'm keeping him).
Thrift stores are great resources for craft supplies. I found this Christmas scrapbook paper pack for just $3.99! I think they run around $25 in the store.
Look at some of the cute papers inside!
I have a thing for face planters and coffee mugs so I had to pick this cutie up!
Price $1.99, it's marked Teleflora on the bottom so it was probably around $20 originally. I am keeping her too!
And the last item that I bought to keep is this bag of latch hook yarns. I have been collecting any latch hook yarns that I can find (when cheap enough) to use to design my own boho rug. I think I may have enough now!
Price $2.99, Value - it looks like bags this size sell for around $15 - $20.
And here are the things I bought for resale.
I think this vintage lithograph print is very pretty. It's a Bernard print.
And it's marked on the bottom as "Copyright 1943, Bernard Picture Co, Inc."
Price $2.99, Value $35 - $40.
These are vintage Heller Max Mugs designed by Massimo Vignelli. They are plastic and feel very 70's to me.
Price $3.99, Value $60 - $70 (yes, I was shocked when I looked these up too!)
I found this cute little cubbyhole shelf, it would be perfect for some tiny collectibles.
It's marked on the back as "Fred Roberts Company, San Francisco, Made in Japan."
Price $1.99, Value $30 - $40.
I love the pretty little frame on this old mirror but someone did a very sloppy job painting it 😆
You can see it was gold before someone painted it. I think I may try distressing it to see if I can bring some of the gold back out.
Price $1.99, Value $25 - $30.
And last, this woven wool bag caught my eye.
Price $3.99, Value $40 - $45.
You can check out my Etsy shops to see what else is new!

I enjoy Treasure Trove Tuesday almost as much as craft room tours. I especially like your little monk made in West Germany. So many good scores! Due to a move recently, I had to donate many, many things. I hope people like you find them. I look forward to the next TTT too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like these posts Vikki! It's sure hard to get rid of stuff, I had to get rid of a lot recently too as you know. Most things I don't miss but there are always a few things I kick myself for!
DeleteLots of fun finds. But i think my favorite is the monk pitcher!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I love him :)
DeleteWonderful treasures you found at a great price. I would have brought home the little monk also, along with the little white frame.
ReplyDeleteThose are my favs too :)
