The pictures tell it all...
Took the bus with the bestie to Woodstock to visit the One of a King Antique Market & found some great bowls! I got the Gooseberry #444 (which is for trade), my first piece of aqua, it's labeled as a 411... & a beautiful polka dot Federal bowl for a mere $2 - $2 for a bowl at an antique market - this place rocks!
Also, this killer vintage metal Torcan fans are from there! I paid $20 & $25 each. They are nice & I'm proud to be their new owner.
On the way home a quick stop at the Cambridge Value Village had my heart skipping 3 beats when I spotted the full set of pink Pyrex bowls! Less than $12 for the set & great condition! Also these two killer mugs from Anchor, I swear that I have this same pattern from a different brand.
This hanging set of lemon salt & pepper shakers, chipped in a section & possibly missing something from it. Cute decor piece for $1.99.
These canisters. Oh my these canisters. I wanted a turquoise set sooo bad. This wasn't the set I was eying online, this one is even better - love the black lettering on the turquoise with the nice shiny lid. It's obviously missing one tin, but they still look amazing on my counter!!

Also from the One of a Kind Antique Market are these vintage Happy Birthday cards, they are really unique & I didn't mind paying $1 a piece for them.
And finally, this Pyrex Meadow promotional casserole #043. I've never seen it before yesterday, picked up at a new Value Village that opened 2 days previous in Mississauga - it's a big one (THE STORE!). Definitely love the colours, but not my favourite pattern. This baby is up for trade! Casserole itself is in EXCELLENT condition, with the lid. There is a 3cm issue (cracking?) with the lid. Contact me! Email in my profile!! (i trade: butterprint, pink, gooseberry, aqua & fridgies)
Linking up with APRON THRIFT GIRL for THRIFT SHARE MONDAY & HER LIBRARY ADVENTURES for FLEA MARKET FINDS.
Sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove the fans and great price! I saw one in on of the (generally) cheapo flea markets in Kentucky the other day and it wasn't so cheap: $230. It was a little bigger, but not nearly has pretty as those aqua babies!
ReplyDeleteLove the Anchor cups too!
Wow, a successful thrifting venture!!
ReplyDeleteWhat GREAT finds! total score on the fans and the Pink Pyrex!
ReplyDeleteWow!! What great finds. I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteK, so what's with Pyrex?! I see everyone bragging about it! And, those canisters are darling!
ReplyDeleteYAY for aqua canisters and all the Pyrex was a steal, the prices have steadily been creeping up here at the flea markets/antique stores. Will you be using the fans or are they for decoration?
ReplyDeleteExcellent score! Pyrex, fans, glass mugs, canisters! Well done!
ReplyDeleteSO jealous of the mixing bowls! I am a major bowl hoarder!
ReplyDeleteLeilani - I bought them to use them, but one may end up just as decor as I bought it for my kitchen for when we cook. The other is for the living room. The Gooseberry was $4.50 in the antique mall. It's $35 in a shop, in worse condition in the city. The guy from the the antique mall told me not only does it "pay to shop in Woodstock!", but a guy from the city comes there each month and spends $1,500-$2,000 for his shop.
ReplyDeleteGina - that is frickin' nuts!
ReplyDeleteTanyabell - is beautiful, practical & it's fun & addicting to collect!
monogirl - thanks! I'm soooo happy with this lot of stuff.
Thanks everybody! ♥
ReplyDeletevery jealous I love the fans and canisters
ReplyDeletethanks becky!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Amazing finds! Jealous that your pink bowl set is in better condition than mine - and cost less!!
ReplyDeleteThose turquoise canisters are to die for. What a killing.
Nice scores! I have a similar set of turquoise canisters I bought on eBay a few years ago. Mine have copper lids, but with daily use they're starting to wear and the paint is getting scratched. :( Yours look dynamite!
ReplyDeleteWow you found some amazing items for great prices. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteMy Mum had those canisters in aqua (her favourite colour for a kitchen with orange accents)when I was but painted them avocado when we moved to a newer house. You must have felt in thrifting heaven with your Pyrex deals!
ReplyDeleteAre those bowls pink? I am actually squealing. Love, love love them. What an excellent price.
ReplyDeletesusanmarysunshine - they are pink alright. I secretly squealed too.
ReplyDeleteJenifir - totally was! Aqua with orange - she definitely had great taste. I love those two colours together.
Tara Beaulieu - THANKS! & I was looking on eBay.. glad I found mine in the thrift!
Cara-Mia - THANKS!!
