Weekend finds!


It's just after midnight on Monday night & I am finally posting my weekend finds. Didn't have much of a thrifting weekend as I was stuck working for the man. I did however make it out just before closing to Goodwill & a Value Village on the west side of the city. A Sunday night at Goodwill is always slim pickings. The weekend crowd has cleared the place out, the shelves are baron & the staff are getting rid of the unsaleables & tossing them. I did see two Butterprint Pyrex dishes, so badly faded that they were still there from when I had seen them 5 days beforehand. Books were also 50% off. They had 'Courtney Love: The Real Story' by Poppy Z. Brite, but I've already got it & have reread it many times. Left Goodwill empty handed.

Got both items at Value Village. Items came to $5.62. I think I just about lost out on the unicorn salt & pepper shakers. I was getting the 'ihateyouputitdown' eyes from this 45 year old man right after i picked them up, especially since he was almost there.


I'm psyched about the silver round.. ash tray? I took a pic next to the one I already have. This one is quite larger than the other one I have. These are ash trays, right? $2.99. 99cents each for the shakers.

E = MC HAMMER.

NIB MC HAMMER DOLL 1991


Something I reckon I'll never come across in the thrifts, a NIB 1991 MC Hammer doll complete with cassette. This is the exact same doll that I will be receiving. As you can see there is some wear on the top corner. I can deal. The total was $18, shipped to Canada from the US. Generally, all the dolls (New Kids on the Block, Vanilla Ice, Steve Urkel, MC Hammer) are $21.95 or so, shipped priority USPS. Luckily I scored with this seller. I'm gonna love this doll. I might even get a set of matching pants.

Sir Thrift A Lot is.. too legit... too legit to quit. !!!
