A thrift store is a truly wonderful place for sustainable fashion enthusiasts and those looking to broaden their fashion horizons with some unique clothing pieces. Though if you've ever been to one, you probably know how bizarre they sometimes tend to get.

People following this one Instagram account called thriftstoreart know this quite well. The account we're talking about is purely dedicated to all kinds of weird and questionable art objects found at thrift stores, and it currently has over 6,000 posts and more than 183,000 followers. Yes, this account is pretty popular, and we're not surprised about it at all.

Approximately half a year ago, we published an article highlighting some of the most bizarre thrift store finds shared on the account, but since then, a lot has happened and a lot more questionable items happened to be discovered. With that being said, we invite you to look through an updated list of some of the weirdest art objects ever found in thrift stores.

    This is actually from a Guam myth, a fisherman finds a small statue of mary and gives her to the church and when a random guy starts to clean her she bleeds, so they call the fisherman to clean her and she doesn't bleed anymore. (sorry if this is incorrect, it's been awhile since I've read it)

    No. Bleeding madonnas are common myths wherever catholics live.

    This also exists as Joffrey Baratheon (Game of Thrones) candle, with him bleeding out of his eyes and his nose after (Spoiler!) being poisoned. And I would SO love to buy that one!

    it's a reference to a very famous statue of the Madonna in Italy that, i think in the 90's, cried blood. I guess. of course it was fake, but thousands of people believed it!

    "wheres the beef?" was a thing wendys used to have commercials for and their catchphrase and stuff because on most burgers the meat patty was smaller than the bun so their thing was that they had square patties so you could always see the beef sticking out of the bun. (i know some of you will already know this but for those of u that dont theres a random fact)

    Unfortunately this is realty for many in the USA. Sub primes have made so many homeless. Covid 19 lost of jobs, medical care, bills, have driven many to live in their car or whatever. So sad that such a great country can't look after it's citizens who are in dire straits.
