Thriftasaurus

A few finds this week. I have been sick for over a week. I abhor it. I very rarely get a cold/flu, I can't remember the last time it's happened, but I've been sick since last Thursday. I'm still rockin' on, working, a bit of shopping & social. My thrifting date flip flopped - she took a shift at work, she's flat broke. I don't blame her, but I did make fun of her for flip flopping. It's rescheduled for a day this upcoming week. 

 

My favourite find were these cards, the insides are NSFW (even some covers I had to cover). These are from the late 1980's & ones you'd only find at an adult shop. The taller ones below, that look like some 1960's or whatever just plain vintage cards, oh no, they're more than that. You can ask the old women on the subway who saw the huge vibrator on the inside of the card when I opened it. 

Colourful Dansk Gourmet containers. 

I'm digging this flip calender (do they have a proper name?). My grandfather used to have one that I believe they got on their honeymoon to Niagara Falls (or one of their anniversaries) & he would flip it every morning when my grandmother made us toast & jam on Melmac plates (blue for me, pink for sister).
(shoulda put today's date in the first photo...)

Nice retro towel. 

Santa. I think he's been there a while. Might have been empty hand syndrome, but I guess he'll still look good on Christmas. 

I bought these coasters not to use as coasters, but to use as leg warmers on my dog (if they'll fit). The cards are cute enough. At this particular store they put a lot of stuff in them grab bags & some bitch (sorry...) always rips open all the bags & not just a tiny bit to see the cards inside, but a lot, so all the stuff falls out when you move the bags in front. It's extremely annoying & it's possible the cashier may refuse the sale so STOP IT. 

My lone piece of Pyrex (pictured here with it's sister that I already own) this week - the Compass Promotional Snack Server (without handle). I feel like I've basically given up on "the great Pyrex hunt" here in the city, even though it's the first stop still in the thrifts, but it's just not there for me anymore in the quality/quantity it once was... even the antique markets are bust. I have a rant coming soon... 

Thanks for linking up last week, can't wait to see what everybody turned up this week.
