Flat Lay Fun│ Vintage Thrifted Finds for April 2025

My son got married a few days ago, which meant I'd been mentally preoccupied with many other things. And yet, I didn't stop thrifting. Thrift shopping is darn near therapeutic, so it was a wonderful distraction, and I got great finds for my shop. A flat lay a week shows me what I picked up and shows you what's headed to my Etsy store.

 Here are April's month of vintage finds from Tuesdays (my big thrifting day of the week). I love the diversity each week brings.

Okay, so this was the first week of April, and it was "red" day apparently, so it was not as diverse as usual. But still, a '60s dress, a  '70s dress, a '60s cardigan, and a '90s linen blouse and a '70s Frankoma mug (for myself), it was a nice haul.

This was a fun week. I loved the color palate of this one from '60s butternut men's shirt, to a '70s Pendleton wool jac-shirt, a '90s USA made women's jacket, a '70s thermal, and an '80s acid washed Guess jeans (holy moly this takes me back to my youth), this haul covered all the decades.

The bonus to this haul was the "pocket finds," as I like to call them. There was a receipt from February of 2000 from Safeway. (I was engaged by then and planning my wedding in early 2000!) A hair clip and $5.55 of pocket change, which always makes my day. These finds are a wonderful snapshot of times past. Who says you can't travel back in time? I do it all the time. ♥

You know what I love best about this flat lay? How truly diverse it is. There's a '60s Hawaiian dress (that I sold within an hour of listing it. It's headed back to Hawaii (as most 90% of my Hawaiian vintage finds do. I wrote about that earlier right here!) There's a '60s robe made in the USA, there's a '70s Irish sweater, there's a '90s Guatemalan skirt, and a '30s (!!) Chinese blouse. This is the conglomeration of four corners of the earth all within a couple of hours shopping period. How cool is that? What other kind of job can do this? I love what I do!

Happy May!
