Thriftasaurus
I don't know about you, but I didn't get out much this week. I'm back in my home city this weekend for my grandfathers 90th (!!) birthday party! Can you imagine? My great grandfather lived to be 104. I am too young to remember quite how his life ended, but he was never lost his mind, lived alone & gardened well into his late '90s. Some time after 101 he went into a nursing home & I believe he made a personal decision to stop taking his medication & died naturally. I wouldn't want to spend my end days, totally lucid in a nursing home. The celebration begins in a few hours, so I am doing Thriftasaurus early this Saturday.
I didn't thrift in Toronto this week. I don't really thrift on weekends, Monday was 50% off sale, Goodwill is practically empty, Salvation Army is useless & I'm still taking care of my dog. What's it been, a month? He's healing, but he's still gotta wear the cone for some periods (like to bed & when we're not home). I did thrift when I got to my home city, found some 2 pieces of not so common Pyrex, 2 pieces of common Pyrex & 4 pieces of something by Holt Howard (all the same). I will save those for next week.
Bought from Erica of Golden Egg Vintage! These cute Pyrex dishes.
Not so vintage cards by Carlton, fun enough that I'll be able to use.
This lamb Ulster tea towel. I forget what it's called.
I have a set of those little bowls and they are perfect for individual Mac & Cheese and cobblers in the summer. Oh, don't I sound so domesticated? I'm not. Well, not really.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your baby is doing better. Damn dogs can cost us an arm and a leg huh? I'm about to drop a mint to have mine fixed.
Hope you had fun at the party!

ReplyDeleteI love the color of those Pyrex dishes!
ReplyDeleteI love those cards! My dad's family is blessed with longevity as well, no nursing homes for them though. Not sure if they have those in Puerto Rico. Nice you get to celebrate that milestone number with your grandpa :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Pyrex! Glad it went to such a good home!
ReplyDeleteGlad your puppy is feeling better. Critters...holy cow they can be pricey some times but totally worth it!
Great little Pyrex dishes.

Lovely small dishes. Wishing you much luck in your planned thrifting trip.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I picked up a similar tea towel a couple weeks back, mine is a 1993 calendar with those sheepies...just figured it would be good in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI love the pale green dishes you got from Erica! Happy birthday to your Grandfather!
