Thriftasaurus #100!

Thriftasaurus
::number 100:: 


Welcome thrifters to the 100th edition of Thriftasaurus! I don't have a special giveaway this time, but I did pick up something last week in Buffalo to include in the giveaway (it's vintage Christmas). Giveaway in the future to coincide with the launch of my Instashop - shopsirthriftalot. I don't know when that will be, the shops there, I just need a little more organization, you know?! 

My Buffalo finds are all over the place, so just my thrift finds for the week... which I am pretty psyched about! 
Look at all the vintage glasses! Don't you love? There were 2 of the Amish print, but had the gold totally faded off. Someone loved it the way it was since it was gone the next time I was in the store. I am not sure if these are sets of 2... what do you think?  (First 2 pics are same glass), but the king & queen set all the suites are accounted for on 2 glasses. There is a D on the bottom.. who is the maker??? 




I really don't understand how this vintage tablecloth could last 7 days in the thrift store. It has a few manufacturing flaws, but that aside, the graphics are amazing, I don't think it's ever been used & where else are you going to find one like this? Stained ones with mushrooms don't even last a day or two! Is this for a wedding? Or what would you use it for?



Friendship bowls. Great addition to daily rotation. 


This week it felt good to thrift. I didn't notice one dealer in the store, I am sure there was a couple, but none of the ferocious ones. It felt good to walk into a thrift store & find vintage treasures. It felt good to see Pyrex at thrifts I haven't seen Pyrex in in ages (even though I didn't buy it). & it felt good to get a break from the delusional people I have to spend my days with. 

& last, but not least, this cute little made in Japan elephant. Love? 


Thanks everybody for taking part in Thriftasaurus for the last 100 weeks! Can't believe how much crap I must have brought into the house during that time period, lol.

    Dying over that tablecloth! You are so lucky to have found it after a whole week. USE IT! A lot of my tablecloths don't fit on my dining room table so I fold them into runner sizes. And those glasses are amazing. Vintage glassware is just one of my many weaknesses. They are so dang pretty!

    Have an awesome week!

    I love the vintage tablecloths. That one could be used for a baby shower.

    I've never seen Amish Print on a glass before, what a lucky find! I also love that elephant very much. I've been drawn to elephants a lot lately, a new collection may be starting :)
    Happy Monday,

    Wow, congratulations on #100! Great haul. I have that tablecloth in blue, will check to see if I have the maker noted. Yes, used to weddings, bridal showers, all that good stuff. Lots of mine don't really fit, but if I can get them on the table, I use and enjoy.

    LOVE all your glasses. I just can't seem to leave them behind. You got some great ones. Love the king & queen ones. I'm picturing my Mom and her friends at the card table playing and drinking out of glasses like that. :)
