Thrifty Finds

I volunteer at the Kuakini Hospital Thrift Store, as it reopen after being closed for about 8 months because of COVID. It so much fun being there looking all the fun thing that are donated to the shop. Here are few goodies that I found today as I straighten up the shelves in between customers

  • Basket of chicken salt and pepper shakers and toothpick holder
  • geese measuring spoons
  • Small Jadeite pitcher
  • Pamco glass measuring cup
  • Cute set of ethnic dolls
  • Found in the 3 for $2 shelves: carved leather platter (?)
  • My favorite find of the day: Screen printed banana shape coin purse in the 3 for $2 shelf

Many of these I wanted but I just have no more space at the house. I may pick up the banana coin purse next week because some needs to have it.

What I did come home with: a vintage yukata (a summer cotton kimono) for the fabric. I think I will turn this into a top and maybe a couple of totes.

  • folded in half
  • vintage fiber content tags
  • store tag
  • close-up of the collar and lapel

And a bright happi coat (a short jacket that is worn during festivals) because of fabric outside and lining. It will make a nice winter time coat.

  • The lining is so cute
  • sleeve
  • love the roundness of the bottom of sleeves.+
