What I Didn't Buy At The Thrift Store.

What I Didn't Buy At The Thrift Store
(with very bad photography!)

$2.52 for an empty Voss bottle? Sure, it's from Norway & not taxable, but a full bottle of Voss runs $2.99 at my work (not sure if it's taxable, probs is). 


$2.99 for this sad bowl. Maybe someone has taken it home? Same store had a set of Spring Blossom Green bowls, in great condition, $14.99, $11.99, $9.99 & $8.99, uhhh.. NO THX. I just bought a set for $25. MINT. Not taxable, but thanks! At least these will probably end up in a good home & be taken care of.


Dominos mug. $4.99. A bit faded. Have bought the same mugs from here, mint condition for $1.99. 

I should have a little more interesting one next week, heh.

Thriftosaurus Thrift Haul Linkup!


It's time for yet another Thriftosaurus Thrift Haul Linkup with Sir Thrift-A-Lot & friends! This week I've got a bunch of fun retro kitchen finds!

Does anybody know the maker of these glasses? I think I've asked before, but nobody answered. I think they are Hazel Atlas? Anyways, found them today at Goodwill! Regardless of the colours of the glasses, I love the style. The pink & black together are just striking together, red is good too. Great condition, too. Pictured with a turquoise, pink & white I have found before. I've seen yellow, brown & orange too. 



I'm thinking this Federal bowl will make an excellent addition to my retro Christmas items. I love the teeny pattern. 



Took a "Suburban Strip Thrifting Trip" not to long ago & picked up these pieces of Pyrex from a favorite Pyrex thrift - a #474 Gooseberry & a #471 Spring Blossom Green. 


Ever feel like a hoarder? I've bought the #471 Spring Blossom Green many times... many, many times. I can't say now. & I wouldn't be able to say no to another #474 Gooseberry. & I couldn't say no to this, even though I already have one. I am thinking it's time to open a booth? 


Are these Merry Mushroom tea towels? for only a buck? Yes please. 


Some beautiful retro kitchen canisters from The Queenline in white! I've been passing up singles of beautiful canisters, but I'm always seeing singles, so I'm going to start building up sets... I've seen single canisters for sale in booths - does anybody have any success in selling single canisters in their booths? 


Well, happy thrifting! Will be doing a bit of antiquing this weekend & thrifting later in the week. *fingers crossed* for some wonderful items!

Hope you link up & can't wait to see what you find..!
