Thrift Share - This and That

I've come across a few fun things here and there over the past few weeks.  What do you think?

I just adore this Cartier Change Purse.  After my recent visit to Europe I recognize the importance of a proper place to stash my coins...so I'm keeping this one for myself.
It's a beautiful black leather with Gold accents & I'd guess it's circa 1960s or 1970s's.  Anyone know?

I almost walked away from this fun Couroc Ice Bucket.  It was all taped up at the Salvation Army so I couldn't peek inside.  In addition it was way overpriced.  Is it me, or are all of Salvation Army's in SoCal way overpriced?  When I walked it to the register however, the sales clerk gave me a deal so I decided to roll the dice.  There is a small crack on the bucket liner, but I think it's still ok.

"Printing Outfit Superior: The Little Printer"  is a pretty neat little vintage Letterpress Printing Set.  It contains all of the letters, typeholders, tools and more to bring any typesetting project into reality.

It would be perfect for artist and crafters young & old...and it's already made it's way into my Etsy shop.
As you probably know by know, I'm crazy for art books & love finding new additions for my library...this Goodbye Picasso book by David Douglas Duncan is pretty great.

Linking up & looking forward to seeing all of the other lovely finds this week over at Sophie's and Selena's.

  2. Nice find on the Couroc bucket! I have to agree w/ you about SoCal being overpriced, not just at the Salvos too. I actually find the worst pricing near us at Goodwills.
