I haven’t been thrift shopping in ages. It’s just been too hot. But the heat has finally started dipping into the low to mid 90’s. It’s an improvement, believe me.
So I came across a few AWESOME finds.
This little suitcase for $3. It’s in great condition and now houses all my art paints (which kinda makes me want to paint it).
An organ sheet music book for my art, journal and collage needs. It’s a thick one and should last me a while. Only a quarter.
And lastly, the pièce de résistance, Charlie Harper’s Giant Golden Book of Biology!!! This little beauty cost me a whopping $.69!!! I couldn’t believe I found it. The cover is dirty and drawn on a bit and one of the pages has scribbles, otherwise, it is in beautiful condition. The illustrations are AMAZING!! I will cherish this book forever!
WOW! A Charlie Harper for less than a dollar?? They obviously didn’t know what a treasure it is. What a prize!
just looked the charlie harper book up on ebay and one person had it listed for$50 and the other for $500. what a great book, love the images!!
that is, some very nice finds! I am beginging to get he urge to be on the look out myself.. But sadly Copenhagen is quite pricy compared to the quality!
Love-love-love that biology book!!!
I am SOOOO jealous you got that C. Harper book!!!! I am a huge fan, what a find!!! 🙂
ps. I just checked Amazon bc the book looked so amazing, and they start at $150.00!! What a find indeed!!
Wow, what a great find.
Oh my gosh, how is is that I just found your blog?! I love everything about it! Please, oh please, tell me where you do your thrifting. I’m a fellow Tucsonan and have never really had the time to seek out the best shops. By the way, the low-90s does really feel like a cold snap, doesn’t it?
OMG, You are the luckiest girl! I’ve been coveting that Charlie Harper book forever! One day, one day 🙂
that biology book is the bomb!
The Biology book is so neat! It almost reminds me of your art!
I am glad that book and case came to someone who appreciates them…
