Welcome to Thriftasaurus. I hope you join us & show off some of your amazing thrift, yard sale, antiquing & other second hand finds!
The thrifts this week were pretty lacking in the Toronto area, which is OK, I guess because they have been pretty good to me lately, don't you think? We took this past Saturday to go to a couple of little antique malls we know, along with 2 thrift stores I like that I don't get to often.
The biggest bargin was this 50% off Fire King bowl costing me only $2.50. This is from the antique market that peddles bargain containers of salsa, store brand oatmeal (that has been there for months - ew!) & half used containers of cat litter. We were also wrestling with the idea of buying a wine fridge for $15 - it worked & was in mint condition, but then we thought about the hydro bill & the fact that we can walk 10 steps to the fridge...
Despite this market being "junky", the 2 times I have been here, I have found some nice items. I also found these Pyrex pieces here. I just have to say, I really love refrigerator dishes. A lot. I also have to say, I love space savers. A lot. This one, is a JAJ Snowflake, so it's a bit rounded. I need a lid. I am confident I will find one - hopefully before Christmas! I paid $8, no tax. Good price?
Also found these New Kids On The Block dolls. My fiance complains about the amount of items we have in the home & as I am paying for the stuff, I only had Joe & he said, "did you see the other doll?" & he ran & got it, lol. Really... you're complaining, but running to get me a NKOTB doll? Silly boy.
Oh deer, pure cuteness.
Had to get this towel, loved it!
Some vintage Christmas! Cute mugs for white hot chocolate & whipped cream with a cute little vintage Santa. Mugs are made in Japan. I found a similar decanter, with polka dot pattern, but I guess after seeing someone else buy this recently it's called a Houndstooth decanter. $1.99 with lid, couldn't pass. Also couldn't pass on the egg jar. Now all I need is a few light bulb jars.
I found these 2 cute Christmas tea towels - does anyone know the maker (took a photo, but no clue what it says).
That's all this week, looking forward to seeing all the treasures everybody has acquired this week!
I won't be going tomorrow, but to everybody who is going to the Value Village sale in Canada tomorrow - Happy Hunting.

ReplyDeleteA cute way of presenting your interesting finds.
ReplyDeleteLove finding treasures at the antiques mall. You never know what someone else might find for you. Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteVery much like the way you put it, MMM: "you never know what someone else might find for you." I'm going to use it.
DeleteI think you did pretty good!! I won't be at VV tomorrow either, I was there Saturday and there was not one thing I wanted to buy, so I don't think I'll be missing much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, I notice you're getting more people linking up every week, that's great!
It is great. Definitely great. I'm going tomorrow though - we'll see what the VV holds!
DeleteLove that Fire King bowl. I've never seen it before. Also, I'm sure my sister will also comment but she would love that deer! It looks like it's feeling kinda frisky:-)
ReplyDeleteErica
It totally does!
DeleteI only noticed the bowl because I was looking at photos of bowls online to make "PYREX I WANT" list for my BF for his trip to a 53,000 SQ FT antique mall he was going to visit on his trip to Columbus for me!
Tucked away behind a bunch of crap on a corner booth, everything was pretty much junk, but a pair of ugly '60s plastic yellow S&P shakers caught my attention & the rest is history.
Yet again you have found some great thrifty finds! The Fire King bowl and space saver are awesome. The NKOTB dolls brought back memories~ I had the Jordan Knight doll.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had the Donnie doll & I think my sister had the rest, along with the NKOTB stage!
DeleteThat towel is a riot, I have never seen anything like it! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteMe neither - even Google turned up nothing!
DeleteHaha! That towel is hilarious! Also loving the NKOTB dolls. I never got into them, but I remember everyone I knew had those back in the day. Loved the 90's!
ReplyDeleteyou always find the best towels. so quirky and cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting. I love the tea towels and the little santa. Yeah, christmas is coming. Greetings from Germany!
ReplyDeleteIt has been years, since I have seen one of those Fire King mixing bowls, with the color ring. That is a great find!
ReplyDeleteThanks Farm Girl Pink...
DeleteIt's been years since I've seen a reasonably priced Fire King bowl in purchasable condition (well, besides the white swirl, but I don't count those).
Love the Fire King bowl and the fridgies. I've never seen the logo on the tea-towels, but they sure are cute, and so is the little santa too!

Hell yes on the owl, deer, and new kids on the block awesomeness! :D Though I love it all. Amazing scores, as always.
ReplyDeleteI love the Christmas mugs! A cup of Joe during the winter will be much better when you use these mugs. Well, Christmas is coming again and I still have enough time to look for stuff like this. I guess I'll look for another antique shop that sells valuables like these. :)
