Things I Didn’t Buy 30

I love the side of this artichoke crate.

And these Icicle wooden crates are quite nice.

I considered getting one of these pop crates, but decided I didn’t need them. And they were sooooo gross. I don’t mind the dirt so much, but there were so many open spider egg sacks.

This Pop Pom cigar box was cute.

And this Atlas train track packaging just amused me.

I love the blue sari-inspired dress, as well as the mustard yellow dress with the cute print.

I really like that red dress.

Cute floral print dresses.

Nice shirt dresses—I love the navy one.

I like the outfit on the right with the little bow.

And while these are all nice, I like the polka dot one in particular.

I liked this Sunkist juicer—so simple and clean.

These casserole dishes were cute.

And I liked these mixing bowls.

I almost bought this Osterizer glass jar. I liked the art on the top, but decided I didn’t really need another jar.

And finally, I also liked this bowling bag.

Bought for $6.73

I got this blue dress for $0.98. It looks like it’s from the 1980s. It’s a nice shade of blue with a texture pattern to it. I like the cut of the dress and thought it fit well. It’s totally within the style of Golden Girls…and I’m okay with that.

I bought this Tupperware measuring cup for $0.25. I thought the numbers were really interesting.

I got this pink and gray belt for $1.

And these fabrics for $3.50.

I saw a few lunchboxes that were a blast from the past. First, a New Kids on the Block lunchbox…the cartoon version of them.

A Popples lunchbox. I have vague memories of this cartoon (basically that the characters could make themselves into balls). But when I see the characters now, all I can think is: those characters are ugly.

A Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox.

At a thrift shop, I saw Star Wars framed art that a kid must have drawn. It was kind of endearing. This is the first one.

And here’s the second one.

Some more cute dresses.

I really like the one on the left with the cute piping and little buttons.

And the second one from the left—I love that little bolo jacket.

I think there are some cute outfits here, but that one second in from the left is just too much. Bows everywhere.

And some simple separates.
