You know, I was all psyched to show all my finds from the past weekish, but I'm down in the dumps. My dog is prone to ear infections. He gets them all the time. At least once a month, but probably more. This afternoon, I came home from work & he was shaking his head all cray ear infection like. I told him, "oh Charlie, it never ends with you." For the week my BF & I were away, we brought him to the BF's bros house where he suffered great anxiety, opening up his hotspots so bad they were bleeding.. you can't even touch them without him yelping. He sat on the floor the whole time, whining & staring at the door. Anyways, so I get home, text my BF, "his ear is bothering him." He's been home all day, but stepped out for lunch... it wasn't bothering him when he left... my BF goes to investigate & his ear has balloon & it looked like a Bugle. We had been using this ear infection spray provided by the vet, I guess something happened in his ear.. they are going to pop it.. & if it works, he'll have cauliflower ear... if it doesn't, he'll need surgery... which we probably can't afford. Pills for the hotspots. I'm missing him, he's probably really upset we dropped him off somewhere AGAIN.. he gets PISSED off. He barely ate when he was away, dropped a few pounds. The vet said she's never seen a dog so attached. 

Can't wait for him to come home. 

Here are 2 of my fun finds, the rest are still packed away. 

The 444 Balloons in near mint condition for $2.99. 

I bought the Lefton Miss Dainty salt & pepper shakers in an antique market in the only way I can afford them - chipped!

A little late this week, but last night I was partying it up at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival! Had a lot of fun... 

Everything I bought on my way down to Windsor from Toronto is packed away, ready to be opened when I get home (probably proudly displayed next Thriftasaurus), so I am just going to do a small WHAT I DIDN'T BUY AT THE THRIFT STORE edition, but hopefully am able to see some great finds from everybody else!

I totally would have bought this from the adorable packing if it were cheaper. This particular Value Village prices have skyrocketed on anything "vintage" or collectable. They had a mini (cereal bowl?) that was Fire King, cheaper at an overpriced antique market by more than $1.50. 

What most of Pyrex shelves looked like in most of the thrift stores I stopped at.. 

I am glad to see someone succeeded in their ambitions. 

If you remember my eBay post regarding my Strawberry Shortcake stationery (you can read about it on my blog)... can you believe once again I was bid in the last seconds by probably the same ditz with zero feedback? Even the person with 700+ feedback who bid, did not pay. What is the deal with Strawberry Shortcake stationery? I managed to sell one with a second chance offer, but my other second chance offer was ignored. 4 more non-paying bidder alerts filed... It's exhausting.
