Weekend Finds.

This past weekend I visited a Value Village I've never been too, the results were OK, I enjoyed the experience & I can see good results coming from that location, so I will return. It's a bit far, but not to far out of the way after visiting another thrift I often visit.

It's cool witnessing the different thrifts in the different areas of the city. I've spoken before about my crazy Goodwill, which in in a very poor area of the city where a lot of crime happens, a lot of city housing & a lot of mentally ill people. This new Value Village happens to be in a part of the city were people have LARGE families, it is not quite within the downtown core either. I've never been to a Value Village with so many children running around. It was nuts! I held on to my breakables for dear life. The electronics area was amass with electronics and people. I've never seen so many people diving for used microwaves and DVD players. At least nobody was diving for the following...

Rooster salt & pepper shakers, probably made in Japan - $1.99
Paint is a little chipped, but that means that they're a little loved. One more for the collection.


PUNKY BREWSTER ON DVD - $3.99.
If you're like me & everybody else I know who actually remembers Punky, you only remember the episode where her friend hid in the fridge when they were playing hide & seek. Although, I do remember I watched this show all the time. Also watched Heman & Shera. Though, I am experiencing THE MARKER. They write in Sharpie to file them in a binder so people don't steal them. You don't need to write on the discs themselves, but what do I know!


Is there anything sexier than Smurfette? This is classic. Only $1.99.


That's all that came from that Value Village, I did stop at another one & passed up on 2 pieces of rarer Pyrex. No buying just because it's Pyrex. No room. They had the full collection of New Kids on the Block comics, but I passed... would have ended up costing me almost $50. I did however, find a NIP NKOTB button, packaged with a neat Ghostbusters button, 1989. Also came in a bag with two other interesting buttons. The lot was $1.99.



Also, a Rainbow Brite puzzle. Now, a bit sad, it's missing 2 pieces. Not much for puzzle buying because of the missing pieces, but I love it just for the box.


A couple people asked me where I was moving where I would be at a thrift constantly. I'm moving to the other side of the city will have to take the subway to work daily. Right now, lucky me, I just take the stairs down, live & work in the same building. The thrift is at the subway stop I get off at. A 5 minute stroll through the aisle is just what the thrift doctor called for.

I totally scratched my throat today on a burnt potato. Not very happy!



Going to be joining APRON THRIFT GIRL today for THRIFT SHARE MONDAY.
