Sir Thrift-A-Lot in Rednesday!

in Rednesday.
with Cottage Sweet Cottage


I don't think I have ever blogged this early - it's before 7AM on Rednesday morning! Dog woke me early, so I've got nothing else to do before work besides watch the news. I'm usually running around like a mad man. 

This knee hugger elf has experience in Christmas cheer. You can see it on his feet. On his back. On his hat... OK, so he's been around the block, but he's finally made it home. 

 
A pair of 1980's Strawberry Shortcake salt & pepper shakers from Columbus. 


I had just bought a metal recipe box a couple days before picking up this one (have yet to feature the yellow), but this Lustro Ware box was the one I was waiting for. Also a few vintage Valentines! 



I'm not sure how I got into collecting Kentucky Fried Chicken collectibles, but I have. 


& what's a post without Pyrex? Even if it's a common enough piece? 


Have a great day!

Wanted Wednesday: Gay Monopoly

Wanted Wednesday

I'm getting a little ahead of myself, since it's only Tuesday night.. but.. whatevs! Have you ever heard of Gay Monopoly? I first read about it in Al Hoff's book "Thrift Score", made in 1983 by the Parker Sisters (a division of Fire Island Games, Inc.).. who they say were sued by Parker Brothers. Anyways, according to Hoff, some pretty wacky things go on! These can sell for up to $200 on eBay (still in cello wrapping). This would be a great game to play at a Pride party or just a group of friends at home drinking.

So, have you ever play Gay Monopoly?
