Nifty Thrift Picks of the Week (6.30.08)

Sharing my weekly faves from the Nifty Thrift flickr group where people post pics of their nifty thrifty finds. The theme for this week's picks is lovely vintage kid's stuff:

One of the perks of having a baby girl is that I have a reason to thrift adorable vintage toys! I would be stoked on any of the above items, all great finds. The doll cradle is so charming with its bare wood and adorable sailing motifs. I love the faded colors and distressed look of the blocks. The Raggedy Anne is purely nostalgic on my part as I had one when I was a toddler. We were inseparable. I called her Gringa. Unfortunately, Gringa suffered a tragic fate. I dropped her in the toilet when I was two, poor thing.

1973: Me, Mom, and Gringa. How cute was my mom?! I want that skirt!
