I didn’t go to many places this month.

To anyone who says, “all these weird animals didn’t exist until 10 years ago,” here’s a Nat Geo book from the late 70s about some of those weird animals. You just didn’t have the internet until 10 years ago and your parents didn’t care about your education.
Something I did buy for someone’s Christmas gift.
I have no clue what this is. Kind of looks like a school project volcano but it was ceramic rather than paper mache.
Hmm, there are some questionable dolls in this lot…
Oh, there’s more!
I wish I could fit into these beautiful old Victorian/Edwardian pieces, but the Lord thought it best to bless me with hhhhhhhhhhella curves that not even a corset could recreate.
I regret not buying this boudoir doll.
I also regret not buying this for my SO.
Another regret. I love this sasquatch bank so so much.
It took me a solid 5 minutes to see that it was a horse.
I wanna be a cow girl, baby.
And one more regret to send us off.

September Antique/Thrift Shop Finds

I used to go to antique shops almost every weekend. Even if I didn’t buy anything, it was just something that made me happy. Sadly, I don’t get out much anymore. I want to make it a habit to go at least once a month. So here are some weird and wonderful things I found at various antique and thrift shops.

No matter where you go, you’ll find at least one instance of blaringly obvious racism and/or microtransgressions.
The 50s was a wild decade. Is this supposed to be cute? Is it supposed to look like any one Mouseketeer in particular? If so, girl, you should sue.
I like this duck. I like him a lot.
He would currently be mine if I had the money and the space for him. I hope he goes to a good home.
Found in a box of Littlest Pet Shop toys. It is cursed.
Poor little Palkie doll. The tag had the word restored in quotes.
It’s painted with acrylic paint.
