Thriftasaurus #106

Thriftasaurus #106

Good afternoon thrifters! Hope you had a great, fun filled treasure hunting week. 

I had some fun finds this week, a few I have even previously looked up on eBay, so not bad at all! 

I picked up a few pieces of clothing this week, a vintage Screen Stars Paula Abdul t-shirt & a Fred Perry Laurel Wreath Jacket. I don't make it a habit to check out the sweaters & jackets, but it was raining & I actually thought, "maybe I'll find a Fred Perry jacket." Well, lo & behold. I wish that worked with Pyrex! *I will find a Shamrock Salad Set & a full set of Pink Butterprint & it won't be chipped or dishwasher damaged & it will have lids & brackets* - that ain't too much to ask for, right? These are 2 things I've eBay'd in the past. & black is my colour. 



I've wanted one of these pixies for a long time! I've seen a handful in antique markets, but I don't got $20 for one vintage pixie. This was a thrift store find... yellow isn't really my colour, but this beggar won't be a chooser. 



A large lot of vintage/retro greeting cards. (Not all posted, just a sample).



I already have a set of 4 of these glasses, but can always use an extra. I really think these are my favourite that I own. They had another one but it had a rim chip.


I bought this bag of magnets for the vintage Pac Man & Space Invaders one, but they  had a few other cute ones. 


& ummm... also picked these up in a grab bag, cute enough. 


Well that's it for me! Hope you had a fun week, too.

  3. Love the pixie. We had those Daisy-ons in green and blue on our front room wall in the early 70's. My mom and dad were very hip!

  7. Wow, the pixie is awesome!! And love the star glasses. And Paula Abdul---I was watching a 90s Hong Kong kung fu movie last night (one of my guilty pleasures) and in it, while there was a big gang fight, there was a Paula Abdul music video on in the background, ha ha!

  11. My grandmother worked at a factory near Venice California that made those little pixies in all colors. I've collected them for years. She painted the faces. I've never seen a yellow one though, I have lime green, red, dark green, grass green, white and black
