Some of the thrifted treasures headed for the booth tomorrow

Even with the spare room is so nicely organized, I am still not ready to add more inventory to my enormous stockpile, so I'm still shopping my garage (since that space is decidedly not organized, it's good to get bits out of there).  Here are a few of the treasures I pulled out to take to the booth tomorrow:

HATS:

Pair of men's wool Kangols

Totally 80s straw cowgirl hat with suede, feathers, fur, beads and one
of those silvery thingies.

SHOES:

Lovely gold metallic open-toed mules marked Famous Barr Co on one
shoe and "Leisure Loungers" on the other.
I love that these were once considered loungewear!

CLOTHES:

'60s Arrow Decton "Perma-Iron" poly/
cotton short-sleeved shirt.

JC Penney poly/cotton pale green short-
sleeved shirt with dark stitching.

Large-collar funky-print shirt.
No label.  So soft!

Large-collar green/white poly/cotton
shirt labelled Famous Barr Supre-Vino

Pink poly/rayon/flax cap-sleeved dress,
non-metal zipper, California Girl label.

Ecru lace over slightly darker color dress,
satiny lining, metal zipper, no label.

Black/silver lamé vavoom dress.  Small tag inside
says size 13, no other label.  Metal zipper.

Remember - all clothing and accessories are still 50% off through the month of August, even these new arrivals, so if you're local, get thee to Kenrick Antique Mall booth 78 tomorrow afternoon and all these new treasures can be yours!

BOOKS:

Little Golden Heidi - 1954 and The Three Bears - 1948

Actually, these will not go into the booth.  I snapped them up without a thought at the Goodwill Pound Store, where together they cost less than $0.39, since they don't weigh a pound, but upon inspection, too many of the pages have been scribbled.  I think I'm looking at a crafty project with the remaining good bits.  I'm open to any suggestions!

The Story Road - 1952 edition reading book

A well-used Wizard of Oz cookbook, surprisingly from 1981

Random children's book Fur & Feathers - 1965

LeeWards Illustrated Library of Arts and Crafts -
1974.  Check out that cover art - Fabulous!

Linking up to these great link parties:

Beez Rental Designs' Frugal Treasures Tuesday, Coastal Charm's Nifty Thrifty Tuesday, and Me and My Shadow's Magpie Monday.

Sweet relief - it's done! Also, a few celebratory thrifts.

So my booth is now really, truly, 100% up and running.  All items actually priced now.  Here's my official "After" picture:

Booth 78, Kenrick Antique Mall, St Louis, MO

I left work at 5:00 PM on the dot and braved the snowy streets to get there as quick as was safe.  So I didn't have quite 45 minutes to work - closer to 30.  But I had, from memory, written out most of the tags on my lunch break (thanks clever Jason!) and made it out of there with 5 minutes to spare before their 6:00 closing time.  At which point I was still a little wired, so I stopped in next door at Value Village to unwind.  Which leads me to the thrifts I thrifted:

Cool little display shelf thingy.  Presumably for books,
like these of mine I placed upon it.  Like!

little ironing board with it's own tiny legs.  Came in it's
original plastic bag, which declared it the
"World's Best portable ironing board".

I love the sea-bird sort of beak on this little pitcher/tea pot.

I think when it's clean, the little mouse will be less creepy.  

What's cooler than some gold lamée flirtations?

Possibly these lenticular (I <3 that word) shoes.  Lenticular! Shoes!

I'm not sure this is vintage, but it's beautifully made.

Look at the gorgeous vintagey lining fabric - hand-stitched!
And snaps on either side above the top button.

Oh - doing Apron Thrift Girl's Thrift Share Monday again - such fun last time to see what people found, and you have to see the gorgeous lamps she got this time!
