I feel that I did a lot of thrifting this week. This upcoming week there's a holiday wedged in there, plus money is a little tight. Thrifting will be light, so hope donations will be heavy!

I can't save the best for last this week - I'm so psyched about these salt & pepper shakers! They were in the case at a thrift shop - $29.99 about 2 months ago. I passed. They were still there, marked $19.99. I passed, but then with all my purchases from the store, my 30% off card was filled, so I gave. So happy to add them to my collection - they are adorabs! I'm not sure who makes them, can you tell me? 

This Pyrex Cosmopolitan lid got me hot. I desire this piece of Pyrex. I passed on the piece at an antique market in Michigan with a clear lid for $12, never in my life would I have thought I found the lid, which is why I left it. Never underestimate the thrift store, I guess. Now, just need that bottom.

Grab bags are my weakness. 1980's was pretty big this week. I found the Gremlins at 2 separate thrifts - one alone for $2.99, one in a bag with a 1971 Pillsbury dough boy & his lady (she was amputated & missing a piece of her head) for $1.99. One of the best grab bags ever - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Barbie lunch bags, 1980's Popples & Transformers & Cabbage Patch Dolls party hats (everything from the 80's is bring brought back - bring back the Popples!) & one lone Alf blower all for $1.99. Was so happy!

Along with the Cosmopolitan I am glad Pyrex is back in my life in larger quantities. I also picked up a 403 Butterprint mixing bowl, a little more beat up than I usually find, but utensil marks are nothing these days, are they? And a beautiful Horizon Blue Bake Serve & Store. Along with the 1971 Pillsbury Dough Boy (got the newer version, too & his lady) & a 1997 tea towel.  

Fire King mugs. The clerk at the thrift got a little nostalgic & told me how her mom always said that her coffee tasted better in these mugs & said, I guess old people are set in their ways. I told her, that it's true. She should buy one  try it out. The red checkered is one I missed out on at the Goodwill auction last week! 

Some little randoms pulled out of grabs bags where the rest was donated back. Jurassic Park party plates (OK, we kept all the napkins, paper plates & stuff to use, but I only wanted these plates), some Post-it Lemon scratch & sniff (I am wondering if it would be better to sell these as single sheets or as unopened packs? 1989.), one lone vintage birthday card, but the lion has better hair than I ever will & doesn't that made in Italy journal got the most amazing graphics? 

 

Lastly, this poodle tea towel. The thrift marked it up.. being vintage, but I used my 30% off card for this, too. 

Anyways, god, I bought a lot this week. I didn't notice. Can't wait to see what you've bought, that is, if you link up below!
