SEE NO EVIL!

Burlington Purchases!

Last Friday Aggie & I braced the fog (it was srsly like the movie The Mist) & made our way to some Oakville & Burlington shops. The two purchases below are from the Value Village in Burlington. Used to live in Burlington, had to been to that occasion occasionally & had never found anything worthwhile, so I wasn't expecting much. However, I found some exciting items!

There is this little sewing kit box thingie Made in USA, $2.99 & a beautiful made in Japan monkey bank, also $2.99! SEE NO EVIL! Wasn't my only purchases made that day, but others are to come!







$6.74.

Hambuger Salt & Pepper Shakers!

Salt & Pepper Shakers!
(made in China)

Alright, so I've been thrifting, but also been sick, exhausted, feeling under appreciated in certain areas of my life, general feeling not to hot. I did get some thrifting done during the last month, with some neat finds. I've got some for you on Saturday, but here are 2 sets of salt & pepper shakers that I got from Goodwill. I have no clue whether a set was a hamburger & a sandwich.. or a sandwich & a sandwich & a hamburger & a hamburger. They are made in China, so they could be from Dollarama for all I know, but I do think they are cute. They all have their original plugs, too. 99cents for a total of $3.96!

Something that made me feel pretty good was when I was getting in line with the wife, a girlfriend says to her boyfriend, "AW! ARGH! I knew we should have grabbed those!" I told her there was another set, but they were in terrible condition.. she never got them. Days later when I was in the store with Aggie, I'm looking at the messy aisle & she heads over from her favourite spot, the CDS, passing the s&p shakers.. picking them up & telling me that she found something that I would like. Already got 'em, I said. Two pairs.

Here are the pics!
