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…
