I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, but I was lucky enough to cross FOUR items off of my thrifting want list off this past weekend after a mini thrifting tour of Southern Ontario. I made a partial want list last week, but didn't mention a few items. The items I was lucky enough to cross off were: unopened bottle of Orbitz drink, set of Butterprint Pyrex mixing bowls (missing the #404, but that's cool), the 2 missing bowls for my Friendship Pyrex Cinderella set (funny too, especially since that's all I needed for the set!) & I was able to complete my set of Butterprint refrigerator dish set. It was a pretty good trip! & the trip took part on the most beautiful winter day in Southern Ontario I have ever seen, almost 80 degree weather! - Check out the rest of my haul below...
Here is the Orbitz drink. If you are not a resident of Canada you may not have heard of it, since it was released only in Canada by the Clearly Canada Beverage Corporation & oddly enough, my boyfriends father used to produce this stuff in this factory & said it was "a bitch to make". Introduced in 1997, it was only for sale for a short time before being discontinued due to poor sales. At this time there is no plans to start producing the drink again. You can read more about the drink on Wikipedia.

ReplyDeleteThanks becky.
ReplyDeleteNext time pick it up... they do sell on eBay.
Oh the orange pyrex is my fave. I am yet to find a good piece of pyrex. Fantastic treasure :-)
ReplyDeleteKeep looking Michelle. It'll show up. I just checked 4 things off my want list in one weekend, that aren't that easy to come by, goes to show - keep your eyes peeled & it'll turn up eventually!
ReplyDeleteLove those pyrex bowls!
ReplyDeleteKel xo
I cannot believe that people still have unopened bottles of Orbitz! That is an awesome Pyrex haul, especially those cute little Delphites.
ReplyDeletehow fantastic, these pyrex dishes are so gorgeous. here in nz, it is rare to find any, i have one only, but findind more is at the top of my list too for sure!! that bottle is funky too. x
ReplyDeleteThe orange pyrex bowls with the bird print are amazing! What fantastic finds. I especially like the NKOTB pencil case- I used to be in love with them when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Pyrex! I never find ANYTHING like that. I've had to resort to buying them from the US on ebay and etsy.
ReplyDeleteOmg I used to love Orbitz!
ReplyDeleteI remember being able to chew the ball things in them.
YUM!
Why must they discontinue all the yummy drinks? like pepsi blue!
I used to have a Colonel Sanders bank! That was such a big thing when Kentucky Fried Chicken opened up in our area!!!
ReplyDeleteOf course, love the Pyrex, as always!
Great haul! I have never heard of Orbitz, even though I'm in Ontario too. I guess I didn't pay attention when it came out, or my memory fails me, lol.
ReplyDeleteFun finds- I would never think Orbitz would sell on Ebay... but then again chicken nuggets sell on Ebay! Love the pyrex- haven't found any with the lids. Have a great week.
ReplyDeletewhat a great haul. i bet you had so much fun finding all of this :)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul. In Alberta Pyrex seems difficult to find in good shape - so waiting for the garage sale scene to try and find some. I love the little pigs.
ReplyDeleteThe Orbitz drink looks cool, did they taste good? xx
ReplyDeleteHoly Pyrex! Good of you! Always feels great to complete a collection!
ReplyDeleteCheers ~ Lara

ReplyDeleteOrbitz drinks look like so much fun. What did they taste like? I look forward to checking our your thrift finds every week, the luck of the Irish must have been with you while shopping!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I remember Orbitz! It was really an experience to drink it with the little orbs.
ReplyDeleteThey still sell some similar drinks in Chinatown.
You are one lucky bas... to score that much Pyrex in pne weekend! SWEET!
c_mcarthur - Pepsi Blue was awesome!
ReplyDeleteJill - I saw the bank on my travels & was on the fence about buying it. They wanted $12 for it (wasn't at a thrift store).
MessyMerci - really? Chicken nuggets? I'm going to have to check this one out..
Rachael - too much fun! Can't wait to do it again.
ReplyDeleteCheapchick - thanks! Good luck this season.
