Let's go thrifting #3: Maui Salvation Army

Here is the third segment in "Let's go Thrifting!". While vacationing in Hawaii this month, I made a point of stopping by The Salvation Army Thrift Store in Lahaina, Maui. It was a tiny shop off the main strip. I was hoping to find some vintage Hawaiian!


Here is what I came out with. I didn't find a lot but I was lucky to find a couple of vintage Easter pieces to bring back home.


I couldn't resist picking up this vintage Easter lamb planter made in Japan for a $1. My planter collection has grown since I last posted.


A made in Hong Kong Easter tin pail for 50 cents. I love these tins I also have a Christmas themed one.


Two Kukui Nut bracelets for $3. Tourists and locals are seen all over the island wearing these bracelets and necklaces. They are made from real kukui nuts, they symbolizes light and knowledge.


I found this adorable chambray Brooks Brothers dress shirt for Haakon for $2. The best part about this shirt is it's wrinkle free!

Two healthy eating and tooth brushing picture books for my kinder classroom. They written and published in Hawaii...not bad for a $1!

Lastly I found this roll of red rick-rack for 50cents. The label reads "Great for Leis!" It will certainly be used for a bunting or two!

Speaking of leis Haakon and I took a lei making class. It was a lot of fun and the flowers smelled beautiful.



Wishing everyone a Happy Good Friday!



Until we thrift again...

    I seem to see planters quite often but I've never bought one. Maybe I better pick one up!

    Hi, Astrid! I am always so happy when someone new visits me at Zetta's Aprons and comments on my posts. Welcome! I have just become your newest follower. I have never been to Hawaii, but I think it would be fun to go where the locals go and to the thrift stores. The lambie planter is perfect for our Bloggie Easter Parade! I am going to turn some of my planters into a Nursery Parade...not exactly original, if you've seen Elizabeth's at Creative Breathing. lol!
