I’ve recently gotten into the thrifting/antiquing bug myself and have lucked out on some amazing items. (by my standards) What are your favorite finds and why?
My current favorite is a “Milan Leather” leather jacket with a UK/Ireland phone number for customer service on it’s care tag. (I live in the USA for context) I snagged it for $28 dollars and can’t wait to wear it this winter.
If anyone knows more about that Milan Leather brand I’d love to know more about when that company was around so I can date just how old the jacket is.
Nothing particularly special, but I like buying cheap all-metal $5 lamp bases and repainting them. Because holy shit are lamps expensive.
My favorite so far has a multi-spiral body with a leaf-shaped light diffuser under the bulb, which I painted with chameleon paints, so depending on the time of day/color of light it’s a variety of different colors (mostly purples, blues, and greens). It lives in my very bright living room for optimal effect.
