Thrifty Finds 3.9.12

Last Friday, Trevor and I were in a new part of Phoenix to check out a potential Craigslist gem, and we decided to do a little spontaneous exploration. First, we noticed an Estate Sale sign in the neighborhood, so we headed over. There was no furniture, no retro decor, and none of the mid-century things that we obsess over. However, there was this (real) Coach glasses case that I personally couldn't pass up for $3:


Then, we stopped at the Goodwill on 40th and Thunderbird and found a few fun trinkets for our apartment, including this 50's style clock:


Not sure if it actually works since we don't keep things like AA batteries lying around our apartment -- remember when you were a kid and AA batteries ran the world? Now we never seem to have one when we need one. Regardless, it looks great on our desk, whether it works or not. It's always 10:00 somewhere.

Trevor found these cute retro pots/fondue pots/most likely will be used for soup pots: 


And I couldn't resist this watering can and ceramic pot for my (future) herb garden. It'll happen, I swear. I'll even post proof someday.


Finally, this purse had nothing to do with our Goodwill hunting, but we were in Red Modern Furniture looking at their beautiful mid-century stuff, and I popped over to the Mint Vintage Clothing side of things and found this amazing Adrienne Vittadini purse for 20% off.


I haven't been this in love with a purse in a while, and when I found out it was only $20 bucks, the love grew even deeper.

So that's a wrap on our thrifty finds this weekend. How did the rest of you do out there, Phoenix? Tweet us your finds at @ThriftyBizPHX or share them with us on our Facebook wall :)
