A Week's Worth of Stuff

This was definitely the best thing I found this week - but I can't identify it - I blogged on the Pyrex Collective and put it on Flickr, nobody knows the pattern. It's a JAJ piece of Pyrex, made in England - and so pretty - it'll be great to use for Halloween next year.  

$3 was the price on this beauty.

I don't think these "mocha spoons" were ever used - I found some forks in the summer and had no trouble selling them

I seem to be picking up any older and cute Christmas books - for those future grandchildren, I guess.....

Russian Roulette - The Game of Chance, Bluff and Daring.  It was never used, the money is crisp, the chips were never punched out.

Flinch - never heard of it before...

I bought the Santa and runner for $1 - the sticker on the bottom of the Santa reads - Brinn's, Pittsburgh, PA, Made in Japan

What's the chance of finding two music boxes, the very same, in the same week.  Well, I did.  I only paid 50 cents for this one - I'm going to have a Christmas draw in a couple of weeks... This cutie could be coming to your house.  She plays Jingle Bells

As you can see, I didn't get the twelve ornaments, it says they are made in Poland, some are in the box, some say Slovakia.  The music box and these ornaments came from the came shop, 50 cents for the box.

I can't help myself, more Christmas books!

I always like to read a Christmas book or two around this time of the year, both second hand and both probably read once.

This sweet little Care Bears plate from the 80's is going to my friend, Holly.

I don't need any more tins and it's not even vintage, I bought it at Liquidation World,it looks it though, and it was so cute, I had to buy the smaller one too.

How often do you get a gift for browsing in a store.  It happened to me yesterday, I was  in the Christmas section at Sears, a clerk passed me this gift - candy, pretzels, cookies and tea - how nice is that......

Junkin' Joe is back and I'm linking up here.  I'm also joining the party at Share Your Cup Thursday

Mixed Bag of Goodies

Finally, the shelves are beginning to fill up at the thrifts with Christmas, you have to look long and hard though to find anything good - there is just so much junk and dollar store merchandise that they are often trying to sell for way more than the original price.  I did find something nice  and I'm sure all of us that are on the hunt for those vintage decorations will start to find some neat things in the weeks ahead.  I imagine there'll be some Christmas goodies over at the Thriftasaurus Link Up - check it out!  I'm also linking up with The Nifty Thrifty and Thrifty Things Friday

I think this was probably under priced at Value Village,   I paid $3.99 for this sweet little music box that plays Jingle Bells - it has a wooden base, made in Taiwan, imported by Giftcraft.I wonder if it's Napco?  She's just in perfect shape, not a chip and not faded at all.  

50 cents for this guy 

The Wonderful World of the Music Box, Bells and Chimes - I tried it out, nice....

I read that Christmas stitchery kits are popular for resale on Ebay, I saw this so figured I might as well give it a try.  Last week I had eight scarves listed and not one sold...that is not good at all!

JAJ Pyrex - it's a different style of bowl, it has a little lip on one side -  it's about six inches across, the price was $1.99

A Prince Edward Island mug - of course, I had to buy it!!  

Four Vera's - the one on the left I found at Value Village, the rest I bought on Ebay, three ladybugs, all nice.
