One of my favourite activities is scavenging for trinkets at charity shops and vintage markets. I love old stuff, second hand stuff, cute stuff, tiny stuff, all the stuff. Here are some of my recent finds:
- Lego Superman Alarm Clock - Got this for my Birthday, can't believe I nabbed this for £7!!! Best believe it immediately went next to my bed.
- Phra Pidta Pendant - I went to Devon recently and went to this really tiny souvenir shop which was selling stone and iron pendants. They are very heavy but very pretty.
- Teeny Tiny Bird Pill Box - This thing is only like 2cm across. It's so mini.
- Buddha Pendant - This was also from Devon.
- Embroidered Coin Purse - Got this for £1! Makes me feel like a kid spending their pocket money.
- Picture Wallet - I saw this in the charity shop and knew instantly that I was gonna put my gayboys in there. I chose my favourite pictures of them, when they're both looking their most babygirl.
- Original Tamagotchi (Pastel Marble) - Never had one of these before but it was just too cute.
- Acme Thunderer Whistle - Also got this for my Birthday, I was originally gonna put it on my carabiner but it was too rattly so I guess not ☹
I found these Sci-Fi illustration cards at a vintage market. They are so beautiful and I wish I got more. The green one is my absolute favourite, the floating chequered floor and big collars and tiny outfits are classic 80s Sci-Fi. I also love the random dinosaur in the red one. Like what are you doing here babe?
Got these at an art market as deadstock mystery packs. My favourites are probably Lizzy or Rocket. Also, can't believe some of these Beanie Babies are canonically 30 years old. Babies no more.
I got these Bozo Cards at the same art market, I got two packs and got a couple duplicates. These are so dear to me.
New hat added to the arsenal, it's a little big for my tiny head but I can make it work. I added the badges, brass bar and silver pendant myself. The My Melody and fabric badges were made by me using my Badge It! ♡
i love the lego superman alarm clock!!! i've been wanting one of those sooo bad
ReplyDeleteYess, I was so happy when I found it. I remember them from when I was a kid. My brother had a yellow Lego CD player and I was always so jealous
Deleteeverything looks so cool ! i love collecting random old cards, i have a binder where i put all the ones i get like they're all from the same collection, looking thru it is so much fun !
ReplyDeletealso the way you displayed everything in little gifs and even the repeats of the bozo cards sideways so we can see there's two is so pretty and satisfying to look at,,
That's such a good idea, I should get a binder too, they're all just in a box rn. I loved making the layout for this post, my scanner is one of the favourite things I own. And gifs are so fun, I feel like they work better for showing smaller and more detailed things, especially vintage stuff which sometimes look a little lackluster in photos, cause I feel like you can see way more and get better feel of what they look like. I love how you lay out your trinket posts too, particularly how you use gifs to show the inside of things with lids!!
DeleteI now need a picture wallet to put my fav hockey gay boys into- I have been influenced. I love the Gif style omg, also trinkets are the best, especially thrifted trinkets.
ReplyDeleteyes! I carry my hockey boys with me everywhere now ♡
