BOOMERANGS

I went to Boomerangs this weekend for the first time ever. My mom insists that we've gone there together before, but there's no way I wouldn't remember being in there. They are selling pure thrift magic. I wish I could have gone through the gear...I saw plenty of gaudy shit right up my alley sticking out on the racks...but I'm in full home mode so I was all about finding things that would make my apartment pretty :). These pictures are absolutely terrible (would you expect from me?) but I just wanted to share. Yay to Boomerangs!

A vase and a tile coaster that I intend to rest it on. They were $3 and $1.50, respectively.



Lovely plates! The flower ones were 50 cents each, the black ones are from Pfaltzgraaf's Midnight Sun collection ( I LIVE to look shit up. lol) and they were $1 each which is a steal seeing as though they're still available on the company's website for $7.99 apiece. The red one's are made by a company called Franciscan and they were $1 each as well. The company doesn't seem to have its own website, but I was able to find some of their stuff on various websites and according to the steep prices I saw I'm assuming I got a pretty great deal on those as well.


Worst pic ever. This lamp was only $10! the color is SO lovely...I couldn't leave it behind. The plug and cord make me believe it's super old. I wish I would have thought to take a pic. I don't think I've ever seen a plug quite like it. Besides the color I was enthused to get it home and plug it in and find out that not only does it work perfectly, there's a dimmer box on the cord. :). I will have to remind myself to never leave it plugged in if I'm not near it though. Idk how much I trust that old ass cord. lol.


Oddly enough I saw this, picked it up, and said I can put my bananas on this. And that's exactly what it's doing right now. Holding bananas. I think it was $2-$3.


I bought a few other things as well...a handmade bowl I plan to use on the kitchen table as a fruit bowl and a zebra print picture frame that came with an autographed pic of Kim Zmeskal inside (anyone want that?!)...I can't remember if there was anything else. I am absolutely planning on returning soon though. There was a huge trunk there that they were selling for $20 (!) but we couldn't get it open. They promised that they'd work on it for me and give me a call if they got it to open. I hope they do I have budgeted $200 for a trunk and I'd cry if I could get one for 10x less. My mom tells me that they have another location. Sometimes I swear that Boston is too good to me.
