Here’s what I found this time!

Anyone remember Cathy and her ongoing foibles, primarily regarding managing her weight?

Oh, Cathy. #SoRelatable.

There are a lot of retro HiFi systems at the thrift store. This Studio Standard Fisher CD/cassette player is rad.

Look at all those buttons!

Speaking of fish:

I’m not saying you don’t need a big terra cotta fish. I’m just saying I don’t need a terra cotta fish.

I got excited about these headphones for a second, but when I tested then I found only one speaker working. Boo.

They looked really good, but I wouldn’t know how to fix the one broken speaker.

Pivoting on the subject of music, you’d have to be really into music to want to take this painting home.

It was really big. Might work well in a music tutor’s classroom.

Staying on the topic of music, remember when this guy was a teen (and tween) heartthrob?

I feel weird about wiping my mouth with Bieber’s face.

You know who else was a teen heartthrob? Leonardo DiCaprio. As evidenced by this fangirl book.

Yes kids, before Leonardo DiCaprio was a grown up actor, philanthropist and environmental activist, he was a teen movie star.

Which brings us to books.

Some girl, somewhere, washed her face and then donated this book.

I legitimately thought this was Mrs. Doubtfire. Oops.

Did I find anything good to bring home?

Yes! I found some older kids and YA books. Christmas shopping is already done, so I’m putting them away for birthdays in March.

Both Anna and the Swallow Man and The Great Unexpected have great reviews.

Thanks for thrifting with me!
