Funny and Strange Thrift Store Finds

February 18, 2014 by Molly



If you’re a thrifter, or maybe an employee at a thrift shop or Goodwill, you know that there are some crazy crazy things folks collect and donate. I mean really strange. I have wondered, if these are the things that get put ON the sale floor, what types of things get thrown away? Hmmm….
My kids and I make it a game sometimes to find the most funny or strange pieces.  When I first started blogging a few years ago, I would often post about our funny thrift store finds.
I haven’t shared some of our “finds” in quite a while, but realized I have a little collection of special goodies you might just get a kick out of. 

Clowns anyone? Oh yes, line your walls with these babies, and sleep well my friends…




Oh wait, you said you needed a flamenco dancing, fruit bearing, doberman pincher? Gotcha covered. 




Nice attempt at gourd painting. Really. It looks so friendly.



What is up with these humans in a jar? This is NOT the first one of these crazies I’ve come across. They freak me out probably more than anything. 




Sunbathing polar bear with belly holes. A necessity in any upscale home indeed.




I’m hoping stringy drunk Santa was once a kids craft. Well, then again, maybe not.




Beaver collection anyone? 




Or, perhaps a set of friendly Christmas creatures in a military tank convoy?






Even if you decide paint this baldy Creepy McCreaperson doll head, I’d really want to know why? Why?




No Angel O’Mathematics, 1 + 1 does not in fact equal 3. Or zero. 




Dear Grandma, I really do love you. I’m just a little constipated right now.




Nursery decor anyone? Night night little one…




Ugh, weird stuff right? 
Oh there’s bound to be more. 
I’d love to feature your finds! 
If you have some crazy, funny, or just downright weird thrift finds, submission info is found HERE.

    Oh those are hilarious–the gourd looks like a possum!
