Sir Thrift-A-Lot: Flea Market Finds

Sir Thrift-A-Lot
in Flea Market Finds.


All kinds of stuff from every decade this week from all over the GTA!

I've been on the hunt for a vintage metal cake tray to bake quaint little cakes for the boyfriend, but never expected to find one at a thrift store & it was priced to move at $3.99. It not only made it back to my house, it also made the cashier quite nostalgic about her mothers cooking - the best cooking she's ever had. It made me remember the news piece I had seen on how when something is "made with love" it "tastes better". read it here. It was found at Salvation Army.


Also found at another Salvation Army is this mint condition 475-B Spring Blossom Green piece - $5.99. Besides the 40 year old masking tape holding it every which way, there was not a scratch on it.


Dukes of Hazzard flat sheet... have wanted it... $2.99. Value Village.


Random Pyrex lids. You never know where it's better half will turn up. Two clear ones from Goodwill, the Butterfly Gold from Value Village. & $2.52 for The Pyrex Cookie Jar. I have seen lots of these, but they have always been so scratched up! Glad I finally snagged one! I have the cracker one already, just one more to go! The Butterfly Gold casserole was only $4.99 at Value Village - needs a good scrubbin', but afterward she'll look good as new!






Pretty in Pink soundtrack on vinyl, $1.99, still in packaging... Value Village.



Lastly, two little owls.

  1. I have the cookie jar and the cracker barrel pyrex jars too. You said there is a third one. What is it? I thought there were just two.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who picks up orphan Pyrex lids. They need a home too. " )

    Take Care

  2. Nice owls! Also, Pretty in Pink is one of my guilty pleasure 80's movie favorites...probably because Andie was such a hipster who bought and assembled her wardrobe from the thrift store!

  5. Tinker - love it! I wasn't lucky enough to have character or TV show sheets when I was younger. My whole life I grew up with the sheets Fiona Apple had in the video for Criminal.
