Go here to join the party!

Some 'Before' Shots

Not all of our finds start out in great shape. Here's our most recent load from a day of prowling the thrift circuit. Just wait til you see the finished products!

don't forget the primer!

Fritzi's on Etsy!

Fritzi's now has an Etsy shop! We are slowly adding products. For now, you can find my vintage ephemera paper packs and a few altered cases. Go take a look!

The thrill of the hunt continues!

We are back in the thrifting mode after recovering from our sale! Here are some of my latest finds: Humpty Dumpty Children's Nursery Lamp. Check out all of the cute vintage nursery lamps on Etsy. I see a collection brewing!

Desk - destined for a makeover!
Some wall shelves, end table, and frame.

My 'score' of the day: Vintage Paint-by-Number Barn Paintings. How fun would it be to do a whole wall of these:

Metal patchwork breakfast tray, thermos, and mouse drummer pull-toy.

We are consulting our calendars for perhaps another summer sale. Stay tuned!

Finding a New Home

Did your Fritzi's purchase find a good home? If so - we'd love to see a picture! Send to fritzis-seattle (at) hotmail (dot) com. We'll add it to the blog.

Here's my fab mid-century warming table - ready for a casserole:

SO. MUCH. FUN!

Here are the Fritzi girls. From left: Molly, Ann, Liz, Paige, Shannon, Alli, Emily.

Our little merchandisers: Two furs were sold after this...

And literally this garbage can was taken off his head to the check-out line!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first sale! Plans are already in the works for another! We'll keep you posted!

Remember This?

OK, so maybe the Lady Norelco didn't sell yesterday. But that only meant it was around for our personal enjoyment today.

Below, see Paige modeling its use, along with the handy neck-hanging vanity mirror. Maybe we should sell these as a set?

Item of the Hour: Microcraft

You know what never goes out of style? Science.

That's what this is our featured item of the hour:


Not only is it a functioning microscope, but it comes with prepared specimen and a *really* cute retro case. My hypothesis is that this thing will sell soon!

Item of the Hour: Religious Paraphernilia

Hologram + Last Supper = Awesome Artwork! (Looks great on the mantle.)

Item of the Hour: Sweet Little Lamb

One of the Fritzi's staff has developed quite a collection of porcelain lamb figurines. For some reason they weren't a hot commodity yesterday, so we decided to make them our first featured item of the day:


So if you know anyone who's got a little one on the way and might need a theme for the nursery, this is a one-stop shop for you!

Day 2: Prefunction

One thing we learned yesterday was that it's not a good idea to start the day without having a substantial breakfast. Today we remedied that with the mother of all breakfast foods: Bacon!


It's a good thing we had that extra energy, too, because a whole new carload of items came in this morning. Come check out the new additions, including (but certainly not limited to):

shabby-chic furniture
vintage candle fixtures
vanity mirrors
bird-feeders

So come on down! The first 5 customers to arrive will receive one free piece of cooked-to-perfection bacon!

10829 5th Ave NE, open from 9-4

First Day Pics!

Great turnout yesterday and REFRESHED INVENTORY today! Join us from 9-4 - 10829 12th Ave NE.
See you there.

Featured Item of the Hour: Lady Norelco

Face it, ladies. We've all got some unsightly facial hair.

But have no fear: we have your solution: The Lady Norleco!



This state-of-the-art (well, in 1970, at least) razor with 2 spinning blades, cleaning brush, and satin-lined carrying case, is just what the barber ordered.

This one's going to go fast--hurry while it's still here!
