How amazing is this handmade pin cushion chair? You may have seen it in these photos of my studio. I found it at a thrift store while searching for glassware so I could make my own cake stand. At first I thought it was made out of paper but once I turned it over I was pleasantly surprised. . .
Somebody made this from a soda can! I started researching and discovered that I'm not the only person smitten with these tiny furniture pieces. Apparently they are relatively easy to find but rarely sought after. If you want to learn to craft your own then unfortunately you'll have to spend a lot of money on one of the only books that tells you how to make them— womp, womp. However, if you just want to snag one for your own desk (or dollhouse!) then you can search for a vintage one on Etsy.
This little guy is perfect for me since I bind my own books and practice embroidery. I can keep all my needles off the floor and in one place. He seriously might be my favorite thrift find ever. Have you thrifted anything neat and useful lately? Leave it in the comments or join the linkup below so I can check it out!
Would you look at that.l.how clever! And whoever made this clearly made it with love. It is so cute :))

ReplyDeleteAmazing. That's really all I can say to this.
ReplyDeleteMy best thrift find over the last year was an old candy tin with a cross stitch design. I loved the look of it and when I opened it up to see if it was okay on the inside, I discovered that it was filled to the brim with good quality embroidery floss. There was no price on it, so I asked one of the ladies working in the store and what she quoted me I thought was just for the tin, because it was really cheap. But it was for the tin AND the thread. I paid more for it than they wanted in the end, otherwise I would have felt like I was ripping off a charity shop!
