Thriftasaurus

Thriftasaurus

Since Thriftasaurus usually starts sometime Saturday evening/night, it usually marks the end of my week. I usually kick off my shoes & relax my feet, just kick it, just kick it after writing & posting Thriftasaurus. This week, I have looked forward to it more than ever. This single week has been the most stressful week for me that I can remember, it was one thing after another, work, home, family, money, sickness, backstabbing almost nothing was left out & I honestly don't have any actual friends to turn to which makes things worse & even more stressful. I thought that I would get some joy out of thrifting on Friday, but it's wasn't very enjoyable, I did find a couple things - the Golden Acorn was sorta maybe "empty hand syndrome". I gave one away last year & thought, "I can pack this away with my Christmas decor & use it next year." Everything around here seems to be picked to hell by resellers (which is why this trip wasn't enjoyable, it was extremely disappointing) - even packages of dollar store pencils I saw at the thrift store for $1.99 popped up on a local resellers page for $2 a pop!

Gold vinyl tree from an antique market. I paid $25, which I still thought was pretty decent. By Tinsel Manufacturing Co. Is vinyl & aluminum the same? Just wondering. It feels exactly the same... (could be a different box). Don't have the energy to put it together. 

 

Also got this Gremlins pennant from 1984. The tag seemed extremely worn, which tells me it's been in the market for quite some time. Wonder why I've never seen it before?

These vintage oversized Halloween cards by Norcross came from Ohio trip in October, along with the Hallmark paper candy things. The cat is my fav, it's flocked & the eyes are that thing (I don't know what it's called).

One last thing to show... we picked these yup yesterday at Value Village as a gift to mail our cousin, totally her (& me). My fav - "a clean house is a wasted life". It's my new motto. This are by Fiddler's Elbow.

Sorry it was I was so depressing this week!
I have a couple things to share this upcoming week, since I'll be spending lots of time at home. I set up a small tree with all my kneehuggers in my bedroom, but I doubt I will be doing anymore decorating this year, I'm just not into it anymore this year. I'll still be buying for next year, but this year... not so much.

On the plus: I found a $100 gift card. It's not a store I enjoy, so I think I am going to sell the card on Card Swap. Has anyone used it?
