Thrifted Glasses.

Thrifted Glasses


Took a small detour to stop at a local Goodwill & happened upon what I consider a total gem! One of my faovourite things to thrift, besides Pyrex, is THIRST AID glassware. They are very rare finds, but I do find them occasionally. I've so psyched! 



I bought 2 of these for 75% off at Goodwill, as they were the clearance colour today. I already had two similar ones at home (thought they were matching), but they still look excellent together. 


Lastly, this vintage 4cup Pyrex measuring cup for $3.99 for Value Village. This will be for soap making... which will be attempted Friday! It's been hard to find a larger measuring cup, reasonably priced, chip free! But if you wait long enough...

Happy Thrifting!

    Like the glasses - that is something I don't see around here too much...that's probably a good thing!!

    Those Thirst Aid glasses are seriously cool, as well as the yellow and black graphic sort.

    I pickup used Pyrex measuring jugs too - those made nowadays tend to lose their markings after a year or so of dishwashering....no point having a measuring jug if the markings are gone!!

    Love the Thirst Aid glasses! I've never seen those before but they're very cool. I love older drinking glasses with patterns but sadly it seems like they're something that didn't survive much because I rarely find them in good shape or more than 1 or 2 at a time.

      I hate it when I only find 1 or 2 at a time. I've decided recently that I'll be buying those singles now, since I completed 2 sets recently!

      & thanks Heidi!

    I'm a sucker for glasses, so I love all of these. I have half-sized version of the yellow and green cups. The first-aid (?) cups remind me of video game "healing" kits. Love 'em!

      Thrist Aid! I'm not sure what these kits are, but Googles always friendly. :)
