Thriftasaurus!

The first Thriftasaurus of November, with an amazing haul from me this week! My boyfriend took me on a trip - we went all over & 2 two antique malls. One antique mall, gorgeous selection of items, the best I've ever seen in an antique mall, stuff I've never seen in my [real] life, just on the net, but for outrageous prices. I have only been to this antique mall once before & left with a Butterprint bowl from a booth that was having a 50% off sale. I had high hopes of finding an amazing Pyrex piece there that I was going to spoil myself with (they have a black dot Fire King bowl that I really want, but $75!). We were on the lookout for fridgies & pink! Slim pickings. I picked up this Daisy Divided for more than I would care to admit, but that's OK! 

I'm thinking these might have been the thrift store find of the day, the set was $3.99. 

Other Pyrex finds include the 503 from the Primary set, I had previously purchased the lid from Goodwill the week before last, a $2.99 fridgie that someone dumped at the checkout at Value Village (Verde?) & a Butterfly Gold. 

Vintage cake toppers & vintage elf Christmas decorations - 'tis the season. 

I can never say no to a 1990's troll item (besides the trolls themselves.. or maybe a bookbag or something), so 49cents for this pin, sure. 

DC Comics, 1977 pillow cases for 99cents. I would like to sell, but they aren't in great selling condition unfortunately. 

Annnnd... I'd really like to know if the decanter in the bottom photo is vintage or not (just curious, doesn't matter). I see the decanters often, without lids or shot glasses. This is the first time I have ever seen it with the lid, in mint condition & with all the multi-coloured shot glasses (assuming that there is 4 to the set) & the price is right for eventual booth.
Can anyone confirm it is vintage?  

My absolute splurge & favourite find was the Santa in this photo. I have wanted one for years & just recently discovered antique markets (I know, right?), so when I saw it, I picked him up. The Colonel Sanders bank was from Value Village.. I have been eyeing them at the markets, but they were too pricey for me. The price was right at Value Village, so now it's mine. I don't know why I bought that elf. It looks like it has been pissed on, too. Market regret, haha. 

 

I have found mugs of this pattern before, had no clue that they made anything else, but stumbled upon these canisters at Value Village (so damned mad that one is missing a lid!). I believe they are made by Otagiri. 

One last thing, this 1960's unused Charlie Brown scrapbook from the thrift. Love it!

I wanted to share this item with you..
Most expensive Value Village item ever?
($229.99 - just under $260 with taxes)

OK, that was a lot of stuff & a lot of photos. Can't wait to see everything that you've found this past week!

First Thrift of November

I'm gonna say it.
I can't believe it's already November.
Another month of thrifting is upon us! 

My first find made me all giddy. I found the second smallest bowl (yellow polka dots) in the same store over a year ago & now have this, the smallest of the set, Hazel Atlas bowl to add to my collection. It's the cutest bowl I've seen to date. I'm pictured it with a 401 Butterprint Pyrex bowl so you can get a clue on how petite it really is. $1.99 for it. 

Also $1.99, Made in Denmark by Södahl Designs. I don't know anything about it. 

I have a weakness for Fred products, but I will not pay retail, but will buy out of the discount bin, if the deal is good enough. "ABC (Already Been Chewed) Cookie Cutters" by Fred. In a bag with literally a bunch of crap - there was a lone spoon, with rust & food on it. WTF? haha. Anyways, price tag $10.95. I paid $3.99. These cookie cutters will make the perfect addition to any family gathering that I will attend - they are so me.

I have been a fan of Hole & Courtney love since I was 9, but have been reading about Nirvana & Kurt Cobain (even though I wasn't a fan of Nirvana back then) around that time, too. Loved that I was able to add this magazine to my collection for only $1. I had seen it priced once at a thrift store for $19.99! 

Also got some vintage cards, but they aren't very notable. I feel like I wasted my money on those.  

I got this glass earlier this week - during the wrath of Hurricane Sandy, had I broke it out for Halloween, it would have been perfect (next year!). The glass is by Culver. 4 of these just sold on eBay for $99. 

I got vacation pay at work this past week & will be visiting an antique market soon & be spoiling myself on a special piece of Pyrex (considering that they have a special piece of Pyrex & it is still reasonably priced).
