What I Missed Out On (At The Thrift Store)

I went thrifting today & something told me to hit up these certain thrifts first, but I didn't listen to myself. I paid the price. I didn't find anything at any of the other thrifts & missed out on these glasses. 

Now, I did buy one.. the green one..
"Green is liked by talkers

& those who eat a lot 

They relish the scandals of others

but for themselves, thanks not."

That's how I know I missed out on them. The cashier told me a woman JUST bought 5 of them & pointed at the door. "She must have missed this one", she said. I have to say, I am extremely pissy. I missed out on these glasses. EXTREMELY. All I'm picturing now is some other Toronto blogger or flickr'er posting images of the glasses they bought. At least they missed this one, heh. If you're reading this, buyer & you want to trade/sell, let me know.

(reasonable price)
Lesson learned. I'll go with my gut.  

9 stores on Thursday... 1 thing.. for 99cents. 

5 stores today... 1 thing.. for 99cents.

It's quite a hit to my thrifting ego. 

even my secret Pyrex place wasn't fruitful. 

BUT. I did have a score of Pyrex earlier this week.

Sir Thrift-A-Lot in Rednesday

A lot of RED this week (at least for me). 

My first RED purchase (well, RED & BLUE) is this cute vintage tablecloth. I had to ask a woman for help in Goodwill to overlook for any repairs or holes. She was happy to help & besides some stains (that hopefully Oxy can clean up), it was good to come home. My thoughts: this will become a thrift regret. I could have gotten a shawarma instead. & this would look great on a table (which I don't have) with Butterprint! Once I got home, I felt, no regret, this tablecloth has a new home.

I bought these 2 vintage towels today. I have desperately been searching the shelves for a New Kids On The Block towel that I can sport at the beach, but it's been almost 2 years & nada. I came across these today. I think the poodle one is ridiculous, but they look like they're having so much fun. What year do you think they are from? 1950's? 

And I found one of these little guys today. I had been searching for them over the holiday season. I've only found 2 of them, together, in their original box... a very long time ago. This guy still has his Made In Japan still on his butt. 

So yeah, joining up with REDNESDAY with It's A Very Cherry World
