Thriftasaurus
Did anybody get any great vintage items from their boo for Valentines Day? Not me, but I did get taken on a grand thrifting extravaganza the day after (had to work on VDAY) & found some nice items. Still seems like slim pickings all over (went to about 10 thrift & antique stores).
My favourite Pyrex piece found this week was the 1959 Compass Snack Server Promotional. It was on sale at a new antique mall we discovered in a town so small that it wasn't even found in our GPS. They didn't take cash, so my BF had to take a trip 1KM into the city to an ATM.
Also in the market there was a stash of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pins & some vintage NOS Russ pins as well as some 75% off vintage Valentines. I'm set for next year.
This pattern isn't my favourite pattern, Shenandoah, but I can buy Bake Serve & Store until the cows come home & they were in near mint condition. Also was called to the sporting goods area of the store (which I never venture into) & laying on top of everything was something I've been meaning to cross off my list for $1.99 - this 1990 New Kids on the Block duffel bag.
One more item to check off my list - this snowflake space saver. I need some spare lids.. I've found 2 spare space saver lids in the wild. I've got 3 space savers to lid up!
A 1978 Garfield towel for the beach! A Ms. Pac Man game. Should have double checked this.. missing a ghost. Damn. When will I learn?
I was lucky enough to find a scroll in a thrift... it has a few deep scratches on one side & needs a good cleaning. We'll see how it turns out. These Glasbake mugs are my fav ever pieces of Glasbake (maybe the only pieces of Glasbake I would ever buy). Anyways, finally found one - 99cents.
Can't wait to see what you've found..
Sweet duffel bag! I have a couple of friends who would fight you for that,lol.They've been trying to get me to go to their concert with them this summer.Road trip!
ReplyDeleteGo!
DeleteI know people who are going, surprisingly nobody invited me.
I got a card for Valentine's Day. Not even vintage. Once again I have nothing for your party, but I'm hoping thrifting will pick up around here soon and i can't wait for garage sale season!
ReplyDeleteThose valentines are great. I pass on a lot of pyrex, I just do not know enough to make an informed decision. Your finds make me want to pick more of it.
ReplyDeleteFinally, you found some Valentines! Better late than never. I cannot believe that you found a Scroll at a thrift. I bought mine at an antique mall!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

I know.. was psyched!
Deletewow, lot of great finds!
ReplyDeleteAs usual great Pyrex. I saw the one with the handle in a local antique store and regret not picking it up. The other finds are also great.
ReplyDeletecan you believe i've never seen the scroll pattern before now? it's gorgeous! possibly my new favorite.
ReplyDeleteWOW, really? I really want the pink space saver. It's a nice one.
DeleteNice finds this week. Love those valentine cards - so charming. And your pyrex collection/knowledge is really impressive! Thanks for hosting the link up.
ReplyDeleteLol, i was listening to new kids on the block today! Thanks for hosting the link up,

I love that your Promotional came with the handle! That to me is one of the coolest things about the piece. Glad you had a good day after Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI know! I wouldn't have bought it without. So glad I was able to find it at a reasonable price with the handle.
DeleteThat NKOTB bag made me go "squeeeee"....fabulous find! I am getting a thrifting spree as a (late) Valentine as well! Aren't we lucky! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was psyched.
DeleteHope you find some fab stuff on your thrifting trip!
I lurve you green salt and pepper shakers peeking out the back there!
ReplyDeleteStill catching up on blogs after being away for a week, I just don't think I'll be getting completely caught up!!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great haul - it seems like forever since I found anything good..... So sad.....
Just found your blog, LOVE IT! Wanted to brag that I just bought 10 of those cups, 49cents a piece at my local Goodwill. I have two of the mint green, blue, pink, yellow and white. I love being able to switch out my decor for so cheap so you should get my your address and when I tire of these cups I can ship them off to you. ;)
