New Collection: Vintage Erasers

or "rubbers" in some places are my new collection. I have nothing so far, but looking at pictures online, I have decided this is something I need to collect. One thing I love about this hobby (thrifting) is that it is always leading to new collections & there is always something new to collect.

these are some random pictures of vintage erasers ... retro, 1980's erasers.




When I first started blogging, my main obsessions were:
 - any piece of vintage stationery I could get my hands on
- vintage figurines 
-  hand vases (not chipped)
- CDs, since they were $1 ... didn't need them
- anything Care Bears
(barely buy any of these anymore)

my collections have changed since I started blogging, my main obsessions have become:
- PYREX!
- vintage kitchen collectables
- vintage greeting cards
- 1980's pop culture items
- tea towels
- salt & pepper shakers

Have your collecting styles changed since you started blogging? Have you started any new collections after seeing them online?

My last 2 finds from my thrifting trip on Friday. This Santa from the antique mall, everything thinks he's quite creepy, creepier than my other Santa. A friend of mine described this Santa as ready to strangle you. I think he's cute. 

I asked my boyfriend very sweetly to make a quick stop at the Value Village by his moms house. Freakiest thing, whenever we're near her house, she's calls him. She has a sixth sense. It's like she has ESPN or something. They had this 1981 American Greetings Strawberry Shortcake Christmas ornament. All Christmas decor at every other Value Village I went to was 75% off.. except this one. A bit annoying. 



Have a good week thrifting...
