Mining Monday: Welcome Back Edition
It’s true! It’s back!
On a Tuesday, but whatev.
Almost a month of snow couldn’t keep me down. In honor of this, I went to one of my favorite thrift stores in the city.
I have to confess: I have a weird fear of mannequins but only when they’re used in museums for historical set-ups. I can’t explain it. They’re super creepy as stand in for pioneers and pilgrims. They’re okay in stores, even if they’re decapitated.
A tower of hat boxes!
Raise your hand if you think bobby pins should ALWAYS be this cheap because you end up losing half of them.
My dad picked up a starburst clock like this at an estate sale a month or so ago except it’s gold and has more points (so, um, I guess it’s nothing like this one). There is currently a battle over who shall be the rightful owner of it, me or my sister. I’ll let you know when I have it hanging on my wall.
Tights and shoes together: it sounds like a good idea, but what happens when you get a hole or a run? That may not be an issue for most people, but this blog is called Andrea Disaster for a reason.
I’d like to see paisley come back in men’s wear.
Those glasses are GREAT. I’ve only ever seen them one other time at a now-defunct thrift store in Bellevue.
Check out the red head mannequin creeping behind double double toil and trouble.
You don’t see white glasses very often. Especially with sparkles. I think this needs to change.
Not on me, I look awful in white (too pale to pull it off), but the first person who does should e-mail their photo to me.

Trust me.
Anyhoo, I admire your spirit still thrifting during the season like this. Impressive. I like the vintage hats in the picture.
