thrift find - plaques


I originally took these photos so that I wouldn't buy these plaques. But then I just couldn't resist them. They were too cute not to come home with me. They remind me of Strawberry Shortcake characters (which I love!).

Do you ever take photos of things so that you won't buy them? It usually helps me not to buy things because sometimes I just really like looking at them and a photo will do.

  1. those are adorable! i love the colors. and i've never tried taking a photo of something instead of buying it....that's a great idea though.
    i know i've taken a photo of something to try to recreate it...but it usually ends up in a disaster haha ;)

  2. I totally do take pictures to things I love so I wont spent any money on them. Sometimes I end up buying them anyway like you did, I guess there are things that just convince us no matter what we do to avoid them :/

  4. Those plaques are adorable. They remind me of some Holly Hobbies ones my Mom made for me when I was little. She made her plaques out of plaster of paris though.

  5. Actually, I'm always super scared to take photo's inside a store.

    The first time I ever tried, I was told by an angry manager to put away my camera. Ever since then I've been a scardy cat.

  10. Those are adorable! I wouldn't have been able to resist them either!

    I do take pics of things so I won't buy them! Sometimes it's things that I like but want to make myself, like overpriced clothing. Other times it's things that I intend to buy at some point and don't want to forget about.

  12. Yes! I do the same thing. I take pictures so I don't have to buy it/them...but usually those pics are on my phone and I forget about them once I leave the store.

    also... I too totally thought of strawberry shortcake when I saw those girls, and then I said to myself "that's not strawberry shortcake. remember we all use to wear bonnets." ok, so I'm dating myself, but in the very early eighties, we were bonnets :)

  17. These are amazing, and I think it would have been an absolute pity if they weren't yours! I always try the picture trick, but it never works. I have a problem. I need thrifters Anonymous
