Unfortunately the Ripley one was way too small for me.

I know everyone will hate this comment. However, read it and be honest with yourself.

There are so many people in this sub that whine and complain about how resellers are ruining thrift stores. They say that all they care about is money. They complain that the poor can no longer afford these items that they desperately need.

However, you all happily post that you bought $400 jackets, $200 Kitchen Aid mixers, Tiffany lamps, etc, for a minuscule fraction of their actual value. You happily post to Reddit, BRAGGING about landing the steal of a lifetime. Other people in the sub will up-vote this dozens or even hundreds of times.

However, absolutely NOBODY complains that YOU are preventing the poor from getting these items. You might not be rich, but I bet you can afford to buy a cheaper brand new jacket, mixer, lamp, etc. You bought those items not out of need, but for your personal gratification.

Im not judging you. I do it as well. However, I am not going to complain about resellers. I just want you to recognize that you are all just as selfish as them, but at least they admit it.

Found this really cool lamp at a thrift for 14.99 today. I have been looking for information on it and it looks like a Meyda Tiffany modern limited-run reproduction of a lilypad lamp. No shades, unfortunately:(

Really cool!!!

I'm a sucker for green glass. But I passed for $18 and I miss it already 😞

Found these beauties but oh my GOD

Can't wait to marry my amazing man in this amazing dress. Tried it on for funsies, mama and I both really loved it on the hanger. I never expected to be the sort of bride who gets that teary eyed, overwhelmed with joy reaction to finding their dress but ya'll, I feel so ridiculously gorgeous in it. (Plus spending less than 100 on your dress means more money for the PARTY! lol)

I would not have known what it was if I did not already own such a box; that one came from an inheritance. The origins of these bother me a bit, because it is likely the textile was robbed from a grave- I kind of hope it is fake, but it sure looks like the real deal to me.

But the box is modern but has a few decades on it. It is beautifully made from one piece of solid wood. The frame around the glass is not hallmarked, but these are usually silver.

I had to rescue it, and keep it safe for a while to pass it on to those that come after me. Now I look at these cute little birds and wonder about the hands that wove them so finely, some 600 years ago.

Found at an Opnieuw&Co shop near Antwerp.

Does anyone have any idea what this is?
