Thriftasaurus!

♥ THRIFTASAURUS ♥


Hello there! Still here blogging from my phone... didn't get a chance to work on trying to fix my computer (thanks Amy [ from Actsofsalvage.com ] I'll give you a shout when I find out I can't fix it. This past week, between work and meeting people off the net for vintage purchases (seriously... I held vomit for half an hour while putting on a happy, polite, I haven't been sick for almost 4 weeks look) I've spent all my free time in bed, aside from Friday when my boyfriend took me out shopping since I was feeling a bit better and we had planned it for weeks. I don't know what's going on with all this shady stuff, but I don't like it!  Even my new DC shoes I bought less than a month ago for work are destroyed due to a detiriorated heel liner (looked up ways to fix it... but I am lazy). 

I managed to get in some alright finds that are pure Sir Thrift-A-Lot. Pyrex... it's been a tough find lately, but I got a drizzle. The blue grapes or whatever truly needs some work... and I found the 441 a few months ago. Butterprint is mint and the Horizon Blue was $1.99... I think one of my cheapest Pyrex purchases ever! The 443 was a Kijiji buy, completes my set. I love it. The white.and black Goosebery is a favourite if mine.






Remember Robie? I owe this find to my boyfriend... I always pass by all the chords and remote controls, this guy was stuffed in one of those bags hanging with all that jazz. Upon shaking him he seemed broken... but when we got him home, there was a key inside and a Canadian flag pin. Lucky for me the mercury battery didn't explode and my Robie works!



I think I passed this set of $5 shakers up at an antique market a few months ago and after seeing Van on Thrift Core display a vintage whale, guess I was inspired... ya, I know... these are dolphins. Another set of salt and pepper shakers have entered the house! My display case and shelfing for my s&ps is to compacity, so until I find a new solution, gotta keep them off to the side.


Original Dala horse still with sticker and cute vintage Santa mug unused with original tag.

A cute pair of Christmas decorations that I should of posted last week for Thriftasaurus if my computer hadn't died. I'll be featuring the rest of that stuff as time goes by.


Thanks for reading! What did you pick up this week? Link up below...

    Oh gosh. I noticed a few spelling errors, I typed this over brunch... blogging from a phone makes you need a drink, so I ain't fixing them. Not now anyways.

    Don't know how you are managing hosting with just your phone but thank you for carrying on with Thriftasaurus. My thrifts were the white frame with a board, the books, the chickens, the woven green runner, the wreath and the Harvest Sign inside the wreath, the wooden pumpkins and crows and the spider web inside the wreath. The background stuff and the hutch shelf are earlier thrifted finds. Hope you get time to take a close look at your computer this week.

    Did you mean your flu came back too?

    Yay for the Gooseberry Cinderella. It's one of my favorites, too.

    OMG! Our dad used to bring home crazy little gadget thingies that he would find at the toy & hobby shop down the street from the bar he hung out at. One night he brought home Robie. You just gave me a MAJOR flashback. I had completely forgotten about him. Hanna is going to freak out when she reads this post. Thanks so much for the awesome memory :-)

    Love the Santa mug (I collect them). I hope you get to feeling better soon. I picked up Brian & Alex's cold. I'm the mom. Like I have freaking time to be sick.

    Send a note to alharris [at] gmail [dot ] com if you like, and I'll hook you up with the computer guy. Will let him know you're coming, too, so hopefully he'll give you a deal. Worst case scenario, he could probably build / install you a new system cheap-cheap. We love him!

    P.S. Hope you feel truly better very soon!

      Thanks Amy!

      Will do when I eventually try (which should be in a week or two) - I am so lazy.

    Thriftasaurus unedited... I love it! My brother had a Robie growing up...think it's probably still kicking around my parents place somewhere. Did they come from RadioShack?
