These guys were $30 as this particular opp shop is right near a well known vintage store, so they know how to price, but I still think of them as a great thrifty buy!.
Have a lovely weekend and happy thrifting!

Thrifty Saturdays - More Turquoise Foo Dogs!!
A few weeks ago my husband came home and casually mentioned that he saw a set of Fu / Foo Dogs in a North Melbourne thrift store window ... at this point I should say when it comes to turquoise foo dogs and me, you don't see, you simply buy and so I did just that very next day!!!.

Thrify Saturdays - Vintage Turquoise Foo Fu Dogs
Welcome to vintage thrifting show and tell for another week. A few months ago I posted about wanting a pair of turquoise Foo/ Fu dogs for my home but wanted them to be vintage rather than reproductions. Over the years I've had a bid or two on vintage pairs but I've never successfully acquired a set for myself.
I found myself in the Melbourne suburb of Ashburton on wednesday and on the way home decided to stop in at the local Charity Store... you know when you walk into an opp shop or thrift store and you think nope, not going to find anything in here today, well that's exactly how I felt there was Mikasa for miles and not a retro kitsch anything to be seen, until I found these babies staring at me behind the Maxwell & Williams cheese platter and I just about jumped out of my skin!.
Ok so they are smaller than I had originally wanted but they are turquoise, well moulded and in mint condition.... I love them to bits!.

Foo Dogs - Fu or foo these dogs are my fave!
I have been looking for a mid century pair of Turquoise Foo Dogs for while and I am yet to find the perfect pair... I've found quite a few reproductions on Ebay but I'm really looking for a vintage pair with great detail.... Any Hollywood Regency fan will probably already have a pair adorning their coffee table or shelf - here are some examples I am LOVING!
My sister has the above larger foo dog sitting in her veggie patch!!!!
