I am a man obsessed.
Seriously.
So many varieties, so many styles, how in the world am I going to collect them all?

Thriftasaurus
Thriftasaurus.
Welcome to another week of Thriftasaurus, it's nice to have you. As you might have noticed, I am a late host this week. I'm rather punctual, but this past Friday we had a family emergency which is still ongoing, but all we can do is sit & anxiously wait for results & try to go on about our daily business.
I posted a Mid-Week thrift this week, which I rarely do lately with expectations of bringing a huge haul home as we had a full day of shopping planned out for Friday, but had to come home shortly after beginning our thrift expedition, which is OK. Much more important things going on.
Some Christmas cards (that you stick your pictures in) & some vintage gummed labels.
I am happy to be able to post 3 new knee huggers. They are my current obsession. I've always loved them, but now I am obsessed. I'm watching hundreds on eBay (a few in lots & a quite a few singles), but not bidding... just watching. The one with the extravagant gold fringes is from an antique market & so is the red guy. I am psyched that I found this gold guy at the thrift store. They seem not to be easy to find in thrifts around here (maybe they weren't as popular as they were in the USA?), I know you got them as promos with dish soap in the USA! Anyways, extravagance gets you a pic of your own & so does being found in a thrift store.
If you happen to decide to orphan any pixies/knee huggers, please let me adopt!
This pink fridgies I picked up from my cousin when I was in Ohio. I had ordered them off eBay, $18 shipped. They were described as MINT. NAH UH! I had ordered a Fire King bowl too, which was described as mint (have yet to post this), NAH UH! This fridgies, one I would say in excellent condition the other sitting just below very good with a chip in one of the lids are not mint. My boyfriend had already left feedback. I might be done with eBay Pyrex purchases. Even Craigslist people misrepresent. I went to pick up a primary set, ad said, "great condition"... woman seemed disappointed when I wanted to look at the goods, can you believe one bowl had about 40 scratches on it? How is that great condition? Look, I'm sorry you dragged the bowl 2 hours downtown, but don't lie to make $40. & even fellow Pyrex collectors misrepresent, "no chips, excellent condition, mint"... doesn't mean flea bites on the rim. I mean, I bought it anyways because I trusted the person since they were a collector. Lesson learned.
Anyways, that's it for me today. Hope you all had a good weekend.
I have a great booklet I am going to scan this week! I can't wait to share it, check back Wednesday..
