I Scored at the Thrift Store – Window to My Soul

November 8, 2012  I Scored at the Thrift Store

I told you my sad saga about not getting to keep any of the fabulous, old, vintage, chippy, cool attached hardware, windows when we redid our house.

Can you tell I’m still bitter!

Anyway, finding this little beauty has helped make my bitterness go away (well, not completely but it’s a start)!

Eclectically Vintage Thrift Finds

I mean, just look at her.

She’s got a sparkling personality …

a round, angelic face …

Eclectically Vintage thrifting

and anyone that can make me forget about the ones that got away is a keeper.

Best part – she was a mere $5!

Are you still bitter about the one that got away?

Check out all of my Scored from the Thrift Store scores.

    Love it! I’ve never seen a round window like that before… I’d definitely say you scored. What are you planning to do with it?

    will you be bitter if I steal her and make her mine? I might have an ex or two that you can have! 🙂

    Wow, what a score! Your window is beautiful. How many times does one like that come around? It would sure take away any disappointment about other windows for me.

    that window is gorgeous! i’d love to have your kind of thrift stores around where i live! they never have anything but someone else’s discarded junk, and i mean j.u.n.k. not the kind that can be renewed, repurposed or recreated. can’t wait to see where it finds its place in your home.

    It’s a beautiful start to replacing all those old chippy windows you let go during the renos. One down, um what? Like 25 or so to go …

    Oh wow!! That is quite a score! I was just at an antique store where I found a small oval window without a price. I grabbed it, walked up to the cashier, found out it was $120…… and sadly put it back. Great find – I love it!

    $5?? You have such amazing scores! I would be so bitter about not getting all those original windows too. I think about this from time to time. I am bitter with you.

    That is such a great window! Here in Australia we have a kids TV show called Play School and when I was a kid they always had a segment where they looked through a window and it flicked to a little film of something like going shopping or to the park or visiting the dentist etc. and your window just reminded me of the round window (they also had a square window and an arched window)

    Can’t believe you found that beauty at a thrift store. Our stores around here just don’t carry that kind of wonderful stuff. I do understand the one that got away. And, the bitterness that comes with it. A few years back, my father-in-law demolished an 1890s farmhouse he owned without telling us in advance. He salvaged absolutely nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Bitter? Me?
