What I didn't buy at the thrift store...
and the antique market.
I'd like to dedicate the above to Jackie from Let's Go Thrifting. Down below you have the lovely camera work of my fiance. A 1980's metal Popples lunchbox (with thermos!)... $18 (which isn't bad), but just isn't right for my collection at this time.
My first view of a clear, flea bit ridden refrigerator dish. Were the clear dishes marked Pyrex, does anybody know? This one wasn't & I can't remember what it was marked. Cute vintage glass that I have a few of in pink, turquoise & white... this was dishwashered to death. And one more piece of Pyrex. This isn't the large hostess dish, nor one of the tiny ramekins, it's midsize. I've never seen it before. Dishwashered, chipped.. all the things to make me leave it behind.
You can forgive for the bad photo here, the girl who runs the antique market was a bit of a twat & was watching us.

A fun found photo that I could only snap a pic of.. which I could have brought it home, couldn't really capture the essence of it. Nice Christmas photo.

I'll never understand why people get so bent out of shape over people taking pictures. I tend to get stink eyes from Attitudey Judies too. Oh well, can't please everyone. Great stuff though, looks like you had to show some restraint. Bet that was tough!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely was.. there was probably 100 more things I could have photographed if my BF didn't keep wandering off.
Deletehaha, that plate is pretty great.
ReplyDeletei don't get why people care if you take pictures. i've heard (from danielle thompson) that if you carry little blog business cards with you, people are usually nicer? since they are getting a little advertising. i haven't tried it yet though. usually i just try to be stealthy with my huge dslr.
Hmmmm. I never thought of doing that. We currently just take cell pics. I couldn't see myself trying to take pics with my DSLR... just yet.
DeleteLove the plate!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty shy about taking photos and really need to get myself to move out of my comfort zone.
Oh, and the doll is *creepy*!
My daughter loved Popples, why we gave all her Popples away, I don't know!! That lunch box is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteHehe. A dilapidated vintage doll dedication! Thanks a bunch. She's delightfully creepy. I don't know about that $45 price tag, though...
ReplyDeleteYikes.

That's why she's still there... and will probably be there for eternity.
DeleteHow much was the little Remekin?
ReplyDelete$3.99, I think... that particular thrift store is very reasonable for Pyrex, but were charging $49.99 for their Steve Urkel doll!
Deleteawww popples. i wish i could find good pyrex. or pyrex at all around here.
