Barnorama All Fun In The Barn
Uncover the unexpected, embrace the peculiar, and embark on a journey through the realm of weird secondhand finds.
“Cat eye earrings, $1.80 Value Village in Houston”
“I foind this today at BFM in Barrie for $1! It glows similar to uranimum glass but I think it’s actually coated. Either way it’s pretty and sitting in my uranium collection now”
“20 plus years ago I worked in an industrial laundry. Towards the end of my employment I got moved to the place that sorted laundry from area hotels and motels. We could keep whatever came through that wasn’t laundry and I became very quick at grabbing. One of my favorite things was this bunny. It doesn’t have any tags so I don’t know who made it but I love it.”
“I like to sew and inherited my grandmother Ann’s homemade green linen-covered pin cushion — which she received from her mother. I have used it for years.
Well, a new puppy of ours found it one day and decided to play with it and ripped it open. The cushion’s innards were exposed, and at first I was horrified and upset at the dog. But then, so surprised to see what was inside, and to think I could actually be holding the tresses of one of my ancestors…”
“Death Star tea mug. Found for 75 cents at Miracle Hill Thrift Store in Easley, SC.”
“Thrifted this little girl’s umbrella. With the Morton Salt little girl on the handle, the umbrella has the Morton Salt logo “when it rains it pours”.”
“Got this at the Goodwill bins for less than $7! It’s a vintage Sears coat”
“My $10 Facebook Marketplace find. So happy to have this unique piece. I’m probably gonna reupholster it and maybe stain it darker. It’s definitely hand made too.”
“I thought this was cool. Found on Marketplace. It is a prayer chair, maybe from 1900s.”
“Found a Rookwood vase from 1928 in the wild for $5.98. If you know, you know!”
“So for context. I own and operate a thrift store. If you can think about an item… it’s come through my doors. Literally EVERYTHING, even things that *should* be single owner items (cough, cough). Well this beauty was donated today. She’s 5 foot tall and porcelain. The lady that donated her said she’s been In her home for nearly30 years and it was time to share her with someone else. I have no idea what to do with her. She heavy so using her like a mannequin would be difficult. Sell her? What the heck to I price her? I’m at a lost with this one.”
“Not sure where I got this. Thought it was cool. Never used it. Was packed away until I happened upon it today.”
“Found this gem at a goodwill in Edmonton today”
