windinthemaplesWhat I miss, perhaps more than anything, about having my dearest friends living closest to me is dishing about the treasure I've unearthed at thrift stores, yard sales, and random dumpsters. Unless I found a thousand dollars in a purse I paid 10 cents for, my husband wouldn't display the appropriate amount of squee and good cheer. ;) So, I'm going to start sharing some of my thrift finds here in the hopes that you will, too. What have you found? What did you pay? Show it off! :D
Thrift Find: The Lady and the Unicorn Music Box
Found At: Goodwill in Jupiter, FL
Price Paid: $1.91
Why I'm So Excited!
I love music box music. I pounce whenever I see something musical in the thrift stores. It is sad how often such haunting melodies are paired with cheap, lumpy ceramic figurines because that isn't my style, at all. This little box, not much bigger than a pack of cards, is beautifully simple, small, and lovely. Its black plastic case looks like laquered wood and the image on the lid is of one of the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries. Unlike a lot of medieval images of unicorns, this one is uncollared and looking happy, almost smiling, with his hooves up on the lady's lap. The lid lifts off to reveal the music mechanism under a protective viewing window and a small compartment that could hold a precious piece of jewelry or two. Even better, this plays Lara's Theme from Doctor Zhivago. I love it! It is the most perfect music box for me. :)
What have you found and loved? :D
