We all have our thrifting "comfort zones". Items that we know and love, that we gravitate toward each and every shopping trip. For me, it's usually kitchenalia, linens, and craft/sewing supplies. And decks of cards. Sometimes baby clothes.

I almost never thrift vintage adult clothing, lamps/electronics, or furniture. Or dolls. Yet, there was something about this one. I just couldn't leave her behind the other day. All I know at this point is that she's an 11" Effanbee from 1966. And that she has the cutest freckles ever!

I also happened upon some old, unused doll parts recently. I have two heads with blinking eyes, two bodies, a pair of arms and a pair of hands. I need to decide how to get these listed and just do it!

I acquired this pair the same day as the Effanbee. Despite the boy's crazy hair and tattered shirt, I had to have them. There is something so quirky and folksy about them. I mean c'mon, how often do you run across jointed wooden dolls with handpainted faces?

Have you thrifted out of your comfort zone lately? I'd love to hear what you found!
