Vintage Wrapping Paper Finds

Vintage Wrapping Paper Finds

Just some vintage wrapping paper I've picked up in the last month or so... there are about 25-30 more, but these are my favs. Top two are my absolute favs - Where's Waldo? & Shoplifted Just For you!

Ummm... Christmas Holly Hobbie wrapping paper, don't know how old the Shoplifted just for you is... & the really ugly one with the flowers is textured.

Thriftasaurus

Thriftasaurus

I don't know about you, but I didn't get out much this week. I'm back in my home city this weekend for my grandfathers 90th (!!) birthday party! Can you imagine? My great grandfather lived to be 104. I am too young to remember quite how his life ended, but he was never lost his mind, lived alone & gardened well into his late '90s. Some time after 101 he went into a nursing home & I believe he made a personal decision to stop taking his medication & died naturally. I wouldn't want to spend my end days, totally lucid in a nursing home. The celebration begins in a few hours, so I am doing Thriftasaurus early this Saturday. 

I didn't thrift in Toronto this week. I don't really thrift on weekends, Monday was 50% off sale, Goodwill is practically empty, Salvation Army is useless & I'm still taking care of my dog. What's it been, a month? He's healing, but he's still gotta wear the cone for some periods (like to bed & when we're not home). I did thrift when I got to my home city, found some 2 pieces of not so common Pyrex, 2 pieces of common Pyrex & 4 pieces of something by Holt Howard (all the same). I will save those for next week. 


Bought from Erica of Golden Egg Vintage! These cute Pyrex dishes. 


Not so vintage cards by Carlton, fun enough that I'll be able to use.


This lamb Ulster tea towel. I forget what it's called.
