with It's A Very Cherry World!

My last 2 finds from my thrifting trip on Friday. This Santa from the antique mall, everything thinks he's quite creepy, creepier than my other Santa. A friend of mine described this Santa as ready to strangle you. I think he's cute. 

I asked my boyfriend very sweetly to make a quick stop at the Value Village by his moms house. Freakiest thing, whenever we're near her house, she's calls him. She has a sixth sense. It's like she has ESPN or something. They had this 1981 American Greetings Strawberry Shortcake Christmas ornament. All Christmas decor at every other Value Village I went to was 75% off.. except this one. A bit annoying. 

Have a good week thrifting...

I went shopping with my boyfriend on Friday, my only day off work in weeks that wasn't a holiday.. the out of town thrifts & all the one antique market we ventured in were all quite busy! There were 2 that I could barely move in. I know that just after Christmas isn't the best time for thrifting, but the BF told me he'd take me out before our friends go to town - what a fun weekend!

Just a couple purcashes from the one antique market we ventured into, I went in determined to find a unique, rarer piece of Pyrex & left with this 1961 Holiday Promotional Casserole, with the lid. Probably my least favourite piece of holiday Pyrex, but I am picturing the jealousy on my future mother in laws face when I bring this over next Christmas with homemade stuffing. I also picked up this 1972 Pillsbury Dough Girl doll, she was in a bag with a 1971 Pillsbury Dough Boy, but he's suffered some major damaged overtime & his plastic has changed color to black in the weaker areas of his body. One more purchase, but saving it so I can take part in Rednesday!

Two items I had picked up at Knightsbridges Antique Mall in Michigan on Boxing Day. 470 Butterprint Bake Serve Store which has been surprisingly hard to find for me. It has been on my want list & I paid $8, no lid, but had one at home. I also picked up this set of S&P shakers. Reminds me a bit of Clockwork Orange, IDK.

I found 2 gigantic bags of pins on the showcase at one Value Village we went into. Each bag was $3.99, these are the only ones I'm adding to my personal collection. There is a bagful that went back to the thrifts (boring, advertising, homemade) & a couple that will be going for sale - one 1980's Joan Jett button will pay for both bags altogether!

  ...even some more vintage cards.. 

including 1980's Care Bears cards. 

Another vintage Nintendo find this week - a whiteboard for 99cents, still sealed. 

Can't wait to see how you have started off the new year - link up below with your thrift finds!
