Hump Day Dump & Weigh In Wednesday

Today I bring you,
Hump Day Dump
&
Weigh In Wednesday

Hump Day Dump is my weekly thrift finds up to & including Wednesday & Weigh In Wednesday is exactly what it sounds like - I take the plunge onto the scale. I've decided one last try before I sign up for every fast food e-news letter in a 50km radius. The weekly updating here will offer some support & documenting, which can only be a positive thing during my weight loss.

Here's a very kitschy, cute set of Made In Japan googly eyed owl bookends. Price? $2.99 for the set! Cheap, chipless & vintage, just the way I like it. I've tucked them in front of my Butterprint Cinderella bowls - for now.



Another great example of Value Village pricing - a 475-B & 471-B, both near mint, without lids, one huge, one small, priced on separate days, obvs, but both $4.99. Another blogger paid $12.99 for a piece of not so mint Autumn Harvest casserole with lid from Value Village. Not my favourite pattern, but I don't utilize much of my Pyrex for breakage fears, but now, worry free cooking, baking, mixing & eating.


An owl magnet. Reminds me of something my one aunt, who still has her bathroom done up in Butterfly Gold, had.


Adding to my writing tablet collection this past Monday with a Treasure Troll tablet from my favourite tablet makers, C.M. Paula Co., 1992.


Weigh In Wednesday..


236. This is not the weight I want to be. Not at all. This is not the most I have ever weighed, 255 sometime last year, was the most. My weight goal is to lose 46 pounds. I would love to attain this goal by my birthday - August 7th. Next weeks goal: 234. How will i attain this goal? Counting calories, not eating out, hitting up the gym (2x this week so far, thx) even when I feel like absolute shit, while I'm there putting every effort into it - I'm off my butt, I'm there, I'm gonna do this.

Happy Thrifting!

These little Jackette Coasters are adorable, remind me quite of the jock strap coasters I have been seeking. These only cost me 99cents - what a bargain! I think these would look great as leg warmers on my dog too...


It has been Pyrex refrigerator dish week - look! All came without lids, have had lid luck recently, hope some 502's turn up! Can you believe they wanted $12.99 at a THRIFT STORE for that Spring Blossom Green fridgie..??? INSANE. I managed to get it for a "mere" $3.99, so I left happy. One blue was from Value Village in Cambridge, a pick up from my bestie & another was from Talize in Bramption for $1.99.



This Fisherman's Crying Towel was a present, looks like it has never been used, for my boyfriend for when he goes fishing with his grandfather when he visits him in Ohio. Now all I need is for him to give me his pink Butterprint, Bake, Serve & Store set!


On the same trip, I picked up this Nintendo flat sheet for my collection. A flat sheet that sells quite well on eBay ($20-$35 range), has Lengend of Zelda, Mario Brothers & Donkey Kong. I paid $3.99 which is quite reasonable.



Found in the past couple weeks, but on the same trip,
a late 80's Ghostbusters Slimer toy that has definitely seen better days & a Made In Japan barrel, which has some crazing, which I've deemed a great item to hold vintage swizzle sticks.
