Thriftasaurus #118

Thriftasaurus #118

Greetings fellow thrifters! How was your weekend? Can you believe I am still sick? I can finally feel it start to leave my body, but it's now been over 3 weeks. Seriously!

On that note,  not much thrifting has been going on around here! A couple stops, but not to much coming home. I went out Friday & every dealer was out, dealers of all shapes & sizes, dealers I have never seen before & dealers I had convinced myself were dead because they used to be there every time I went,  but I hadn't seen them in over 3 months. There were 5 (obvious) dealers at just 1 store!

Just showcasing a few things this week...

I bought this hand desk note clip after seeing it for sale online. I missed snagging it, but found it cheaper, shipped, on eBay! I wanted it to clip my dog, Charlies, photo next to my bed. This is also the Valentine he has next to his urn. The Christmas knee hugger that watched over him this season has been packed up & the Valentines Day one is now there! 


I bought these 1980s pins off Instagram! Adore!


I also bought this tiny little knife from the thrift in a grab bag. My BF has a knife collection, so I got it for him. This looks like it probably came out of a bubble gum machine in the 80s, lol. 


& 36 yards of vintage Chenille bump pipe cleaners... trade anyone? 


That's really it! I do have some more stuff to show off on Saturday though!! Hope to see you then for another Thriftasaurus! I now have a new laptop, so I can be more active online. Have been basically using my phone for a yearish... it can get exhausting!

Link up below, can't wait to see your goodies.

Thriftasaurus #117

Thriftasaurus #117!


Welcome to THRIFTASAURUS #117! How are you!?

The thrifts weren't too good to me this week for my own personal collections, all I got was this adorable vintage rainbow stationery set, cute, right? I need my penpals back from the back of Teen Bopper Magazine! I had one if the Netherlands & one somewhere in the Caribbean.  


I had a couple requests to see my kneehugger collection,  but it's not all here! Some are relaxing in Michigan at my father's house waiting to come home. Ordered from Instagram & eBay in the last few months. Very neat ones. So when I showcase my collection,  I totally want them in there! 

I am still sick (2 weeks now!)... so Christmas isn't fully packed up. That & I have been waiting on going to Target to get some bins to match the one I already own. The one week I want to go to Target (I have been there 4x since they opened in Canada), they announce they are pulling out of Canada. When they opened in Canada & I went into the store, I told my BF they weren't going to last. I love being right. We are going Monday - hope the tubs are still there!  Have heard people say that Target hasn't been so busy, lol.

As promised, here is the last of my Christmas for the year! Loooooove it all!

This is such an amazing addition to a winking Santa mug collection. It's full of (not too interesting) vintage wrapping paper. Also a very cheap set of vintage Xmas cards! LOVE. I took a pic of my fav cards from the box.



A pixie like I had never seen before.


A pixie decoration & a very dirty kneehugger. Check out the before & after. Wonder if that was the reason he was the only one left in the market, priced at $4?



  • This thrifted sugarbowl? Is it a sugarbowl?

I really had no interest in these German candy nodders until I saw them in real life. They were $25 & up, I didn't wanna pay that, lol. I found a good deal on eBay & snatched it up! Later saw this in an antique market for $85. I know it's not worth $85, but, makes me feel good.


Little things.


My new favourite decoration!!


& 2 more kneehuggers - from the 400 Antique Market.



That's it for this edition of Thriftasaurus. Can't wait to see what you've dug up!
