Happy Easter! Slow week at the stores, plus took 5 days off from hitting up any stores at all this week, so just a few finds.
I've already got one of these vintage Enesco napkin holders, but I collect the set & from what I can recall my other one has a small chip. I passed up a set of 4 of these 1989 DC Comics Batman glasses at an antique market in London in the summer, regretfully, but am happy to have this one from Value Village.
A few grab bag finds:
The Amazing Spiderman large badge from Marvel Entertainment Group, INC. I believe late '80's. Made in Mississauga. Also made in Canada, all these cards. Not sure about the vintage Valentines Day cards, but the birthday card is by Rustcraft. I get a kick out of the Knock Knock stuff, but it's just too expensive at the retail shops unless you're lucky enough to score it in the discount bin. I come across a lot of unused Knock Knock (& Fred) products... found these & thought these post-its would be fab to bring to work.
I found this wallpaper at Goodwill, thought maybe, one day, I could do something will it...too cool to pass up.
1994 Sonic The Hedgehog flat sheet by Sega. Seems like it's a bit rare, couldn't find one that ended or is listed on eBay. Didn't search too long in Google, but didn't see one there either. Love adding something uncommon to my collection.
Linkup below with you're thrift finds if you're not too busy eating & hunting for eggs! Happy Easter!

Sir Thrift! I have the Enesco owl teapot, sugar and creamer set and salt-n-pepper shakers! I didn't realize there were napkin holders as well---and now I'm thinking there might be mugs or teacups that go with it?
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter and happy hunting :)
I know! I keep discovering new Enesco items to this set... like today, never knew there was a teapot! I love the shakers. I think I have the shakers, spoon rest, napkin holder, sugar & creamer set. I've never found more than one thing together (besides the shakers). & I there is a toothpick holder... I want to say I have that, but I can't remember. Just Googled the teapot - totally jealous. Love it!
Delete& there totally are mugs!!

Happy Easter to you too!
It always amazes me how we find what we collect. I can swear that I have never encountered any sonic or batman paraphernalia at all! I am glad you do! Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I never see any of the stuff you buy, either, granted, I don't know much about it until I see you post about it.. but after that - NOTHIN'!
DeleteOh I love that Sonic sheet. And who can resist vintage greeting cards?

Noooooboooody!
DeleteAieee! Mugs, spoon rests, toothpick holders? Enesco was very thorough! Now I have to keep my eyes open for those items, ha ha!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I can't wait for the tea pot & mugs! I know it's only a matter of time.
DeleteToo cool! I can't wait to see what you do with that wallpaper!
ReplyDeleteI'm a pretty decent procrastinator, so give it a few years.. haha.
DeleteFor a slow week you still did pretty good. So That wall paper is awesome! You can do so many cool things with it.
ReplyDeleteI guess, but I did go to about 10 thrift stores, lol.
DeleteThe Valentines are very cute! I've yet to find any vintage valentines:(
ReplyDeleteI saw a couple of those Owl Enesco mugs at an antique store recently and thought of you!
Awe, thanks! & these ones aren't too old. I've been looking high & low for the nice, vintage die cut ones. I've only found 1 & it had a booger or something one it. Came home with my anyways.
DeleteAaah, the wallpaper, the sonic, and the batman, want it all! How the hell do you find this stuff, there is rarely good pop culture around these parts, and if there is, and it's sometimes too expensive to purchase.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a Canadian thing! Mid Mod Mom says she doesn't see it either. Just glad that it's plentiful around here.
