Once again joining in on Thrift Share Monday...
Some more thrifts from Thursday! I`m going to start with the owl vase I bought from Value Village for $2.99. Besides my collection of hand vases, I don`t have a vase to put any flowers in. This one won`t hold the dozen roses my fiance dozen`t bring home for me, but it`ll definitely fit the dandelions I`ll pick up for myself. Just had been put on the shelf that day.
Awesome pin purchases today, flashback to 1991 - TLC, Ain`t 2 Proud 2 Beg. Got this awesome pin for $1 from Funky Junky. Noticed they now have items in the basement, sadly it looks like a bad garage sale, but on the upside it looks like the garage sale season is bringing in some new inventory.
Blue Pyrex fridgie - $5.75. Good condition. Funky Junky was selling the primary refrigerator dish set for $75 - one of the red ones was missing & lid & it was in decent condition. I decided to pass. Give me convenience or give me death, right?
Another lot of items, blue Pyrex bowl, $2.99, only fair condition, but was so concerned I wasn`t going to find anything on our thrifting expedition after 3 stores only turned up one glass (not pictured), I just had to buy it out of desperation. A pair of owl salt & pepper shakers, $1.99. I found a couple of very exciting items that left me absolutely thrilled at the same store as the shakers, I was so excited I forgot to check for chips! Came home & it has a chip out of one of the books the owl is perched upon. :( Owls from Talize, Pyrex from VV.
& last, but not least some Chateau Thierry party picks, original price 91cents. I paid 2.99, but they came in a bag with a bunch of other junk. There was some Fred ice cube trays in there that I was totally digging that I saw in Kensington Market today & together they retailed for $21.75, these were still in the packaging! From Value Village.
Also at Funky Junky.. in my previous post I posted a pic of some fabric - $3.99 I paid for it. They had quite a similar piece of fabric, $30 & my piece is twice the size. YAY.

Loads of good finds! Love the owl items, I tend to get excited at the thrift too and sometimes don't look over items as thoroughly as I should too.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun that you found the new in package ice trays, Fred items are expensive at retail stores.
I just found your site from a link on apron thrift girl's linky party. I love the owl vase!!!!! Our local thrift stores have gotten wind that owls are hugely popular now and the prices have skyrocketed. I still find a few "cheap" ones here and there but mostly they are out of my price range. Great find!
ReplyDeleteLove the owl vase - I've never seen one like it before. Great buy. Lana www.lifeatwildberrycottage.com
ReplyDeleteOh that blue Pyrex fridgie is delightful! I also love the little owl vase. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteYes, owl vase is super cute!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it an item can look perfect at the store only to find a noticeable chip once home?
Pee Wee! I actually found a Vance the pig stuffed toy still in its packaging this past week (photo later when I have time to write up a post!) I am a huge fan of PW!
I <3 that owl vase! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI love those party picks! I can't resist vintage cocktail picks and the like--we have a huge collection.
ReplyDeleteWow, those ice cubes. Dang you could have so much fun with those. I'm actually jealous and feeling a tad bit insecure that I'm the only one over the moon about them. ANYWAY go your fiance, bringing home flowers smart, smart, SMART!
ReplyDeleteI love the name of your blog!! Your thrift finds are amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat score with the blue fridgie! It's almost impossible to find a 502 with a lid! And I totally buy things out of desperation on a bad thrift day...lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, I actually considered leaving the vase behind. Even though it's one of the cleanest items I've ever brought home from a thrift store, my boyfriend gave it the nastiest, dirtiest look & said it was ugly.
ReplyDeleteLeilani - I'm glad I'm not the only one it happens to. : )
Paskiaq - Thanks! I ended up buying it from someone online. I've seem many of these in stores (seem to be the most common fridgie), but all are so beat up & lidless. So sad.
Dhamma - They are cool trays. I'm hoping they work a lot better than the Ikea ones I had bought many moons ago. Those things were garbage!
Gina - I'll send you my address & you can mail me that Vance the pig toy! :p
Robin - that really sucks about the owls! The thrifts around year have yet to catch on about that trend - hope they never do!
ReplyDeleteThere's SHOCKING news in the sports betting industry.
