I'm just smitten with Man Man's video for Head On! It features a delicious little ditty paired with a smorgasbord of choice Kitsch flicks... Including a few of my all time favouties: Carnival of Souls & Night Tide... Oh it gives me such thrills!

Thrift Store Score Thursday {Oh Deer God!}
Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you're all having a fantastic week!
Well, here we are again, another Thrift Store Score Thursday! You may remember my first Thrift Store Score Thursday post... Way back two whole weeks ago! I had stumbled upon the cornucopia of goodies that is Vinny's Antiques Center . Ever since then I've actually been dreaming about going back there & exploring further. At night my dreams would take me to doors of forgotten rooms, containing treasures untold. During the day my mind would wonder idly to a few prizes I had regrettably forgone. I'd think to myself, might they still be there or what new arrivals might be in store for me when I finally do return? I think it's safe to say that Vinny's had gotten under my skin.
So last Friday I was in full swing, getting ready for an early Oktoberfest soiree we were throwing at Hause Von Kitsch the following evening. There I was cooking & baking & making decorations feeling pretty confident that I had everything under control. I knew that certainly I wouldn't have to go back out & chase around for anything... Oh but that's when the madness hit! One of those bypassed trinkets from Vinnie's that had been haunting me suddenly reentered my mind & simply would not go away. A deer head drink poorer! Really, I don't know how I could have ever passed that up in the first place?
Anyway I'm still not quite sure of what came over me, but the next thing I knew I was abandoning my Black Forest cupcakes & Bavarian flag bunting & pulling out of my driveway, heading in the direction of Vinnies Antiques Center.
It was a rather speedy expedition with *sigh* many stones left unturned (after all, I still had so very much to do) but I was on a mission. So I literally ran in & right back out of there, but I am certainly glad that I did!

I am not really a beer drinker & I must say that little bucker absolutely was the pièce de résistance to my Jägermeister cocktails. Wouldn't you agree?
Now don't forget this here's a link party! If you have any thrift store scores you'd like to share we'd love to see them!
Simply scroll down to the bottom of this post & click on the little blue button. Drop in your link, add an eye catching title & volia you're done!
You can link to your blog, tumblr, Pinterst, flickr whatever. Also please be sure to link back here & use the hashtags #thriftstorescorethursday
For more thrift store scores follow Kitschy's Thrift Store Score Pinterest Board This is a group board. So if you'd like to be added as a contributor email me at kitschygalore@yahoo.com
Until next time, happy hunting!

Kitschy Couture {Seeing Spots}
Did you know that you can cultivate & increase your happiness simply by wearing a polka dot dress? It's true! According to happiness experts & positive psychologists simply glimpsing a polka dot pattern prompts a release of a number of "feel good" hormones in humans, including serotonin, prolactin & oxytocin.
So that means that the mere act of wearing spots will increase your happiness, therefore your quality of life & ultimately your productivity & enjoyment of your work... Not to mention that you'll be spreading cheer to everyone you see (or rather sees you) wherever you go... Sort of like a good deed doer! So I say don a speckled suit without apology or fear. You'll be doing yourself & everyone around you a favor.
Hope you're all having a lovely day...

Of course cupcakes & cocktails will always do the trick too!

Kitsch of the Day {Doggy Style}
 |
| Who knew letting the dog on the bed could look this good? |
Luxury long pile has long been a classic kitsch staple, but this bowwow boudoir takes it to a whole new level! Just think of the puppy dreams you might have whilst slumbering on this shaggy mongril mattress set. Oh & it comes in three sumptuous shades... Bitchin!

Thrift Store Score Thursday {Pussyfooting Around}
One Wednesday a couple months back I was at the local Salvation Army. You'll usually find me at Sal's on Wednesdays as it is "Family Day" & that means almost everything there is half off!
Well on this particular Wednesday I was perusing the shoe section when I felt someone watching me. I looked up & our eyes met. We stood there, looking at each other, saying nothing. But it was the kind of nothing that meant everything. Oh how I had always wanted a pair of T.U.K. shoes... Of course being the penny-wise woman that I am, I could never justify the $100 price tag that came with them. But here they were, a pristine pair of T.U.K. kitty-cat Mary Janes staring me right in the face!
In no time flat I was trying them on. I took a big breath & held it as I slid my toes into those babies & released a huge sigh of relief when I saw that indeed they did fit... perrrfectly. Then right there on the spot I did a little dance in them because they were mine! And the best part was since it was Family Day they were only $12.50! Isn't that just the cat's meow?!
Now don't forget this here's a link party! If you have any thrift store scores you'd like to share we'd love to see them!
