Some Cute Things I Found!

We went away for the weekend, of course, that involves checking out the local thrift and antique shops.  I found some things and cute things they are!!!


This guy was on a 60% off table at an antique barn, I surely would never have purchased it at regular price but with the discount, it was a reasonable price.  There are no markings on him, he's quite heavy and oh, so cute!!


It's sure great to be able to take pictures outside again, it was sunny and nice today but looks like rain for most of the week...


It was a planter weekend, I guess, I bought another one, no markings on this one either - I picked this one up at a thrift.



This is not something I very rarely look at, but this little pitcher took my eye, I picked it up and never put it back down - he was very reasonably priced at an antique shop.  He's stamped "Japan"


I don't normally buy mugs either, but this one had an owl - and it's from Creemore China & Glass - Creemore, Ontario - Decorated in Canada!    Mugs sure have increased in size, haven't they?

I actually bought a piece of Pyrex - I don't need all the different colors of these, I got rid of a couple and figured I would just keep the lime green ones,  as that's what I have the most of - I paid $2.50 for this 024 at a Salvation Army - it's made in Canada.  So, now I have a new lime green piece!!



A bunny book to add to the Easter collection, for those future grandchildren!



I never find things like this at the Value Village around here - older Carlton cards, they were in the box, twelve cards of each - aren't they great?

It was perfect - I found two Vera scarves and a couple of other ones for resale.


I didn't thrift this giant Ball jar but I wanted to share it, I purchased it at Canadian Tire, after seeing someone with one, I had to have one for myself!  It's a one gallon jar, I don't know what I'm going to put in it but I'll be filling it up with something!  Love it!!



It's time to link up with Thriftasaurus - I see there are twenty three people ahead of me, things must be looking up in the thrifting world!!!   Check out the History and Home party as well at We Call it Junkin
