I promise we sell cheap stuff too, this just ain't it x

Who's this then?

Looks really familiar but I can't work it out...

🤔🤔 I do have a lot of cocktail soirees...

I love it so much!!

Well. This Is. Wonderful.

I actually really want this... So, you have to buy it before I need to explain why I have...

It is £95 in really good condition, just the tips of his whiskers seem a bit... Sharp

Sylvester sits at approximately 24 inches high, so he's not little, probably life size?

...I don't think this was an accident...

'oh congratulations, you got the cover photo, let's hope nothing happens to cause a derailment, no, I'm totally fine with being on the label and not the cover, you've totally earned it'

What do you expect from a pair of £325 trousers?

Reflect 5G ✔️
Wipe clean ✔️
Can bake potatoes ✔️
Invisible to Radar ✔️
Pockets ✔️

Anything else?

Hello friends! This is your periodic reminder we have a box of free school uniforms in shop 1 (6 bruntsfield place) we add to it whenever we get donations. No questions asked, it's located at the front of the shop, so you don't even need to tell us, just help yourselves ❤️

Formaldehyde says Save The Bees

Anyway, what's your favourite Bill Withers Song, and why is it Grandma's Hands?

It's the 18th of February, and you all* know what that means!

I'll be listening Bill Withers in the shop all morning, a genius. Also scientifically proven the perfect soundtrack to thrift to!

*None of you know this, because i just made it up, but Bill Withers deserves a day

What's the collective term for Garfield's?

A Parliament? A murder? A Lasagne?

Suggestions below please!

... Uhm...

Yeah! It still exists! It's in polwarth, not sure if it was somewhere else before that though 🤔 might be getting your pols mixed up, which one has penguins?

Our intrepid book excavator has unearthed a real gem!

'An Outline of Occult Science by Rudolph Steiner' (aye, that Steiner) 1914.

£200 is a heavy slice of cheese but, it's incredibly rare & pretty weird 🤷

Also some fliers for meetings we've not priced, but they're really cool, so have a look!

Same...

We don't celebrate Izzy enough.

An absolute bastion of thrift, the beating heart of Shop2. Izzy has been volunteering with Birthlink longer than I've been alive. The best dressed, hardest worker, and won't take any nonsense.

Style icon, Thrift Shop hero. Absolute legend.

All praise Izzy!

Fortune favors the bald

A human mind designed this, another ok'd its production, another its distribution then yet another human mind saw it in a shop and spent their hard earned money on it.

Maybe the robots should be in charge...

Anyway, this is awful, wanna buy it?

Did one go on a beach holiday with Brian Wilson in 1976 and got in to hot water with the law in the former Yugoslavian republic of Macedonia for smuggling a ham sandwich across the border?

Or ya know maybe one just hates crisps.

Best one is the name for the full year!
What an honour!

New year, new names for our mannequin heads.

They all have a unique, Charm? (Even the boring ones have a lot of something😬)

Pop your name suggestions for each one in the comments, add a bit of backstory. Did 1 commit insurance fraud in 1993 and is still on the run from Churchills nodding dog? 1/2

Wellys and sequins are never not in style!

Day 2 down, somehow even busier than yesterday!

8 new boxes of stock on the shop floor for tomorrow! Come get it while the thrift is good!

Badly cut out individual letters hung in a shop window to form a sign saying 'poorly thought out sale'

I'm sure you're all wondering how the first day of the sale went...

I can confidently say, I was not as prepared as I thought, an hour to set up I thought, be fine I thought...

So, a huge thank you to all the customers that helped me hang stuff today... i'd still be there if it wasn't for yous 😎

... consumed so many cups of tea that in decades to come will probably be to blame for some as yet undiscovered bladder issues.

But, to celebrate, if you wish me a happy ThriftPloyment day, I'll give you 0% discount!!

Here's Formaldehyde all Glammed up for a party in a river.

Today is 13 years since I became custodian of the Thrift!

And in that time I've met so many wonderful people, some absolutely awful people, hundreds of good dogs, made friends, enemies, found some truly haunting things...

It's the Thrift Shop Gift guide X Niche Book Club Collab nobody asked for.

The Modern Practical Plumber, 1957 all three editions for £25. Perfect boxing day reading material.

Some really visually pleasing diagrams and some great photographs of sharp dressed plumbers plumbing!

We do!

We have a second shop, 1 minute walk up the road that sells bric-a-brac and has entire room for books!
