Weak Mid-Week Thrifting & What I Didn't Buy...

WOW. Thrifting in these parts has been WEAK this week. 7 stores, 4 daily trips to my local Goodwill & I only picked up 2 small things!

This Thirst Aid glass for 99cents. 

This glass was worth the trip. My fiance & I have only ever had 4 "big fights" (that's about 1 a year..) & 2 of them revolved around Thirst Aid glasses. He accidentally knocked this exact glass out of the cupboard while he was doing dishes (dishes!? I'm just as shocked as you are.) & I flipped out on him. I ended up calling him stupid, he slammed what was left of the glass on the ground & it escalated from there. The second fight about the Thirst Aid glasses was when I bought 2 martini glasses from Goodwill & he cleaned the apartment for once.. why, I don't know, he never cleans, I'm Molly Maid & I'm not very good at it, & it was still wrapped in the the paper in the bag, the other one was on the counter.. he threw garbage in the bag & down the shoot it went. He went as far as to ask the security guard to let him into where the garbage drops so he can search for the glass. It took over 2 years, but I once again have a set of 6! Still looking for a second martini glass though... 

And this Easter card for 29cents. "Cards By Kay", made in Canada. I love these retro cards! I don't have many, if any, retro/vintage Easter cards. 

INSIDE: "I'll Just Think It!"

And I was digging through some boxes & came across these amazing vintage Jingle Bells from Eaton's (original 25cents). Had to share! 

 

Here is what I didn't buy at the thrift store... 

This groovy, retro owl candle for $6.06. I really don't know what I'd do with the hunk of wax. I have another large candle & it discolours everything. Cute, tho. 

I spy with my little eye 5 too many Glasbake dishes. The exact same dish, exact same condition, priced the exact same day - $2.02 & $3.03.

Hope everyone is having a great week! See you Sunday for Thriftasaurus!

This week in...
Thriftasaurus. 

If you're a regular reader you might recognize some of the items I'm posting today, 3 of the items I'm posting today, I've found in the past month.

About a month ago I found a Black Snowflake Pyrex Space Saver at Salvation Army. A Salvation Army that normally has the worst merch ever. Times have changed. When I found the first one, it was tucked in a corner under another dish, it was filthy. I found my new Black Snowflake under the same circumstances in the same store! Also found this 503 Yellow refrigerator dish from the same shop. Have only ever found 1 other 503 at a thrift with a lid. I realize now that I should have cleaned the snowflakes before photographing.

Tupperware lovers, just out of curiosity, what year is this from? I've got a couple other pieces like this, just wondering. 

I found a beautiful set of red canisters the other week & a while ago I find quite a similar pair of yellow canisters - except they were 10x the price. I paid $2.99 for these. Not in tip-top shape, but that's fine. My other set has a mismatched lid. 

I don't have a data plan // smart phone // whatever, so I still have to send my trusty fiance texts & have him look up some items that I am not sure if they will sell or not. Other times I just go with my gut. I saw this unused towel set & asked him to check online.. nothing, but he told me to get it. Little did I know he was a Mighty Ducks fan growing up. I think he wants to keep them. 

I've wanted a good, affordable set of these mugs for awhile. Glad I finally found a pair.    

Both shortly for sale on my eBay page - a Strawberry Shortcake stationary (not complete, but will be pairing with some vintage, scented Strawberry Shortcake cards) & some NIP Dick Tracy suspenders. 

Thanks for checking out my finds & thanks everybody for linking up last week. Can't wait to see what everybody has thrifted this week!
