Midweek Thrift

Midweek thrift & a red item to going up with Rednesday! 

My red item is this set of 4 Holly Hobbie honeycomb Christmas decorations. I was actually thinking about these today, as I have a pack stashed away (still sealed, too) that I want to list on eBay. After finding the sealed stickers pictured further down in the post, made me think of these. Was so psyched to find some more!

$3.99 for this Barbed Wire Pyrex Divided Dish with lids.. I can't believe (well I can, but you know..) that this is a 1958 promotional! This is my second Barbed Wire, my first was also found with a lid, which was only $4.99. 

My last midweek finds were these stickers, which I am going to list on eBay... hopefully selling them successfully! The stickers are 21 years old & all sealed.. so hoping to make at least $20 profit.

See you all Sunday for Thriftasaurus (if not sooner!). 

Happy Thrifting!

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!
