Thrifty Finds

It was so busy before Christmas I never did get time to post some of my thrifting finds, so this post is going to be a combination - pre-Christmas and post-Christmas.  We'll get the Pyrex out of the way first.....

Butterfly Gold 401, purchased at Value Village for $3.99



Homestead 045 bought at Value Village for $5.99 - I have a snowflake charcoal one as well, they're the best size for a roast or chicken.


Another Spice of Life canister



I blogged about my Christmas treasures and forgot this lovely 402 Dots bowl that my good friend, Sharon from Florida sent me - I did blog about it on The Pyrex Collective though - she sent me such a fun package - I loved everything and thank you very much, Sharon!!



I found this old tin toy at the Salvation Army - price - 25 cents!!!  It twirls around - I tried to show the back of it, that's why the picture is sort of sideways!



The original price is still on this box of muffin cups - 19 cents - I paid $3 for a box of goodies including this at Saint Vincent de Paul.


It was 75 cents for these three old Christmas albums - love the Snoopy one!!



This is the second Vera scarf I've found - price - $1.99.  It's a Verasheer!!  No ladybug by the signature name though, but I'll keep looking, will it be me to get a ladybug first or Carol out in Alberta?  I ordered this book to find out about all things Vera - it's so nice....



Vera - The Art and Life of an Icon

I purchased a bunch of other goodies too, I signed up for an Etsy Shop today so I'm going to start researching, listing and hopefully, selling a few things.  So many bloggers are selling on Etsy, I think it's about time I give it a try.


I'm linking up for Thrift Share Monday ,  Flea Market Finds at Her Library Adventures and Vintage Thingie Thursday

  2. You know I've never roasted meat or chicken in my Pyrex, but no issues with the duration/temperature in the oven you've experienced?
