Humpday Revival

Some really great finds today, including:

The 1979 hip-hop classic, Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang on vinyl. The nearly 15-minute song was recorded in just one take! It was also the first hip-hop single to become a Top 40 hit. Talk about OG:

Speaking of classics, I also scored Esphyr Slobodkina's children's book, Caps for Sale. Growing up, this was my favorite bed-time story (runner-up: Tiki Tiki Tembo). It's about "a peddler, some monkeys, and their monkey business". It's simple, it's funny, and the illustrations are beautiful. Nothing like a good dose of nostalgia to heighten the senses:

Some old Bingo cards:

I mean, I don't know about you, but I've always wanted a t-shirt with a mermaid riding a dolphin on it:

A pretty serious macrame hanging lamp, straight out of the 70s:

This cute little suit-case; kind of busted, but loved the print too much to pass it up:

And last but not least, a plethora of flower-shaped enamel pins:

What have you found lately in your treasure-hunting adventures?

You're doing it, Peter!

Hook is one of my favorite movies of all time (right up there with Clueless).

Obviously, this is the best part:


Obviously, this is the second-best part:


On the agenda for today - thrifting (naturally) and getting some sewing done. Took my sewing machine in for a check-up the other day. It was having some major issues (loopy stitches, tension problems, etc.) and it was becoming a huge drag to even sew a simple hem. Now, it sews even better than the first time I took it out of the box! Moral of the story: sewing machines need to be serviced at least once a year!
