WTF Tuesday: Church Podium

WTF TUESDAY

It's been a long time since I did a WTF Tuesday, but I this WTF Tuesday totally deserves to be revived for this church podium & display case!
I thought the display case would have been great for resale

Seen at Goodwill, Toronto, Ontario.





Photo cred to Agnes! Thanks!

WTF Tuesday: Odd Festival



Must have been quite the festival...


Off the subject of WTF & just a fun LOL, I was searching "Value Village" on Youtube, first time ever, BTW & quite funny enough I came across a video with the description: "Zipcar Makes Dreams Come True. Value Village Haul.
Oakville. Burlington. Hamilton. Stoney Creek. St. Catherines. Value Village = Dream". Never thought that there would be anybody else who would rent a Zipcar for the sole purpose of visiting thrift stores. & quite funny enough, my boyfriend is sitting next to me watching the video naming off what city each Value Village is located in as they popped up on the screen. If you are interested in the video it is below. However, when I go south to visit the thrifts, I hit up Salvation Army, Talize, Goodwill..

WTF Tuesday: Douchebag Jar



Let me start of by saying "thank you" to everybody who has participated in the last 17 WTF TUESDAYS, but I'm going to be disbanding the inlinkz party due to lack of interest. I will however continue to post my own WTF's.

This week... WTF,
the only douchebag who would buy this from Urban Outfitters is a uncreative hipster douchebag with too much money. $10 for this canning jar, labeled with what could be a canning sticker & a hole in the top. I get it. It was on a show. Make your own. One of the stupidest items I've ever seen in a store.


WTF..
why the... didn't I buy it?
They were way too big, probably 7-8 pounds each & wouldn't hang off my walls. They have a few chips in the feet, too. They were $12.01 each, with 20% off for spending over $20 at Goodwill. Had no place for them, totally would have bought them... couldn't live with myself if I didn't take a picture of them.


I did however buy this vintage ET doll from 1982. I've wanted one for quite some time. He'll look great on my shelf. $2.02.


2 pounds of strawberries I cut up into perfection in a great condition Woodland bowl passed down to my fiance & I from his mother. Yum! Healthy, healthy!

WTF Tuesday #17: Used Underwear Discussion & Link up!



Here's to being single, seeing double and... buying used underwear!?!


I never got the underwear thing, does it actually sell? I've seen an older woman buy a bra before & I was shocked, but it was brought to my attention earlier today that bras are not in the same category as underwear & are not final sale at some stores. Bringing someone who has preconceived notions about thrift stores being "EW" & "GROSS", the used underwear rack, where pretty much every thrifter draws the line, doesn't do much to change their minds.

Find anything crazy, weird, odd or interesting this week?
LINK UP BELOW!

WTF - A Sharps Box!? - Tuesday!



Summed up in pretty much one word - REALLY!?

Surprisingly enough this isn't the first time I've seen a sharps box for sale at a thrift store. You could own the one below for only 99cents!



BTW, I welcome you to WTF TUESDAYS! 2012!
Glad to see you!

WTF Tuesday #15!



Thanks to everybody who participated last week!
I probably won't be doing much thrifting over the holidays, so I will most likely be taking next Tuesday off - HAPPY HOLIDAYS - see you in 2012 for WTF TUESDAYS!

A plastic flamingo in a homemade tuxedo. A lonely womans/mans toy? Or someone who couldn't afford one of those damn ducks in the '90s that people used to have on their porch that they dressed up & bought clothes by the wicker basket fulls at craft shows?




Also..
These aren't supposed to fit into the WTF category, just wanted to post & say, so let me know if you think they are WTF fitting!
A new pair of kicks from Winners - $39.99, compared at (according to Winners) $90 - the eco-friendly, hemp, vegan "Grasshopper" antique white IPath shoe. What do you think? I've kept the receipt, just in case. I'm still not sure. I found a coupon for free Crest Pro-Health toothpaste while I was there too. Minty Fresh.

WT-fluttery-F? Tuesday!



WT..?
Everything you see in the "photo" within in the frame is pieces of butterflies. Sad isn't it? Maybe they died of natural causes & were found on the ground, but I doubt it. This "photo" ended up disappearing from the racks after a few days, I really hope someone bought it so if the butterflies didn't die of natural causes that they didn't die in vain just to be thrown in the dump.



Hope some people partake this week!

I'm speechless.

WTF TUESDAY #12



Last week it was pickled bums, this week bums in lace panties that'll hold up your memos. This sexy magnetic memo board doesn't seem very practical - your memos would have to be very small, unless you only intend to hang them off the bottom.

"Pickled Bums"

WTF Tuesday! #9



Thanks to everybody who participated last week, loved them all!
Daydreaming In Turquoise had a great find with a big foot head!

Here is my find this week! I haven't been thrifting much, so this one is just OK & seen it awhile ago at Value Village in Toronto on Bloor. This is something you'd find on your newly outted uncles mantle.

WTF? TUESDAY! #8 Halloween Edition

W T F
Tuesday

This guy is suitable for Halloween. Seen him at my favourite Goodwill last week!
Can't wait until next week & Halloween is over. The droves of people looking to score the greatest Halloween costume on earth & the droves of people looking to score cheap made in China crap from Value Village will be gone & I can resume my regular thrifting schedule.

Can't wait until Christmas. Creepy Santas anyone?

WTF? TUESDAY! #7 WTF Were They Thinking?



WTF WERE THEY THINKING!?

Would you be caught dead buying yesterdays recyclables for $1.99 at Value Village?

WTF? TUESDAY! #6 Two Cats In ♥



Thanks for coming buy this week! I can't wait to see what you've seen!

Here ya go! A statue for the real cat lover in your life. I'm am really hoping that the original owner found this statue cute instead of erotic, but unfortunately, it's looking more on the soft core porn side than the cute & cuddly to me.

WTF? Tuesday! #5: You decide.




Homemade buttplug or very awkward garden decoration?
You decide!

Can't wait to see what you've seen..

Last week was a gigantic clown, this week it's a gigantic pig. That lamp shade in the lower left ain't no prize either.



Thanks for joining this week! Can't wait to see what you've spotted...
