Joining FLEA MARKET FINDS
There was a lot of thrifting this past week, but minimal finds. I had my first Sunday off in FOREVER, so I was able to visit the Sunday Antique Market at St. Lawerence Market here in Toronto. There were some interesting items, but the only thing I left with were these deer sale & pepper shakers. One of the sellers insisted that they were donkeys. I bet he would have sworn his life on it.
A great gift from my bestie, picked up from Cambridge - two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles notebooks, never used, from 1989. Pretty neat find from Value Village. Also from Value Village I got these Treasure Troll gift bags for 99cents for the lot.

I finally listed a few items in my etsy shop - just two Super Mario Brothers birthday cards from 1989, quite rare. It's been months since I wanted to list things. I have a few more items, but me & natural light never seem to be in the right place at the same time.

If anybody wants to volunteer to make me a beautiful banner, I'd really appreciate it.
Is $20 too much for a Pyrex bowl?
Recently I came across two pieces of the Friendship pattern - 441, 443 & at the antique market I saw the 444 in fantastic condition. I've only seen the 444 once before in a thrift & it was in terrible, terrible condition. Do you think $20 is too much to help complete the set?

I think $20 is a lot for a Pyrex bowl but it would cost more online just for the shipping. If it's something you really like and is hard to find in your area I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteAlso the DEER s & p shakers are adorable, I like their unusual expressions.
I'd say deer for sure too.
ReplyDeleteLovely finds, and I wish we had pyrex like that in Australia!
ReplyDeleteDeer. Another vote for deer. I think $20 is not too much if it completes your set and it is in great condition.
ReplyDeleteNo, not too much to complete the set at all! And I LOVE the deer. Definitely not donkeys. :)

ReplyDeleteIt's really rather disgusting what people will pay for things.
I'd say buy it - especially if it's a piece you need to complete a set. You will make up for it with all your thrifty buys...
ReplyDeleteI had those notebooks back in the day! I think I was in the 6th grade, and I stuck them in my Trapper Keeper. :)
ReplyDelete$20 is WAY too expensive...but then again I generally find pyrex for less than $3 so don't listen to me!
ReplyDeleteDonkeys don't have white dots, those are definitely fawns! That vendor doesn't know his elbow from his ass, pun intended!
ReplyDeleteYeah, $20 is a bit hefty, I was lucky to find those two bowls recently at the Sally Ann for $3.99 and $4.99 (no orange and red though :^( -), but it's okay to treat yourself, it's a hard pattern to find at the thrifts.
hey, great finds! Love the Pyrex Bowl!
