Rose petal place roadster: $1.50 @ BFM Thrift store
I love this thrift store! Things are always reasonably priced, and they have a pretty big selection of stuff. It's a big of a hassle to get there though, which is why I rarely go.
I decided to make the effort today, and I'm glad I did! It turns out they were having a customer appreciation day for their 25th anniversary. They said it was the first time they've done this!
They gave out cake and popcorn, but I only had the cake. It was pretty good! I also got two free boxes of triscuits because the packaging was way dented. That was a nice surprise!
I actually remember admiring this car a long time ago, so I'm happy it's mine for next to nothing. I think the carved rose detail is very pretty. Turns out it's supposed to be musical, but I can't get the battery cover off to test it!
Mine has changed colour because of sun exposure, but I think it actually looks better that way! The original is really pink and looks very childish. This colour looks more sophisticated! Found this picture online:
The wheels are really cheap and ugly looking though, the kind they use on preschool toys. Thankfully they're not visible until you turn it over!
