We went away for the weekend - there were places to go and things to do, but I still managed to get some thrifting in - and did I have luck on the blow mold front.
 |
This beauty was right inside the door at Value Village, I scooped her up and loaded her into a cart - I couldn't believe it - she's in pristine condition, looks like she has never experienced the elements! She's 32 inches high - Made in Canada. I needed one more for the front of the house, she's perfect! |
 |
Another Value Village - another blow mold right inside the door. The clerk plugged Mr. Snowman in, didn't work, I said that was fine - I knew we could get him going, I plugged in it at home, worked - the clerk had given me $1 off - it was only $3.99. He was made by TPI Plastics in Canada. |
 |
This one came from an antique market - Gary was at the next booth ahead of me, he poked his head around, holding a snowman- do you want this, he said. I grabbed it from him! He's about 13 inches high, another one in perfect shape! |
 |
Then he spotted this one - Santa started out as a bank, the coin slot is in his back., Regal Toy, Toronto is printed on the back of him. Someone transformed him into a light up Santa - cute!!It seems like I never find any blow molds around here, but go somewhere new - and I'm lucky!! I found some other small Christmas items, but I'll save those for another day.Speaking of luck -tomorrow evening I'll be drawing a lucky winner in my Vintage Christmas Draw - if you haven't entered, come on over and enter here.There's Christmas everywhere in blogland - check out these great blogs that I'm linking up with - Junkin Joe, The Nifty Thrifty, Thrifty Love, Countdown to Kitschmas Day 3 and Thriftasaurus |

I have never seen blow molds for sale here. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I may need to join a blow mold support group! I picked up three more this weekend. Why are they so hard to walk away from?
ReplyDeleteScore on your angel! Never seen one of those before.
Happy Holidays, Friend!

I love the Santa bank/light/whatevs he is now.
ReplyDeleteRegal Toys made some fantastic, sometimes fantastically creepy, banks!
Love the bank conversion! Great collection!
ReplyDeleteI'm in total blowmold heaven!
ReplyDeleteLove them all! :)
Some i've never seen here
Love your blow mold finds, I love your little snowman, Im after one of my own, I like the small ones that I can display inside.
ReplyDeleteI saw a house the other day that had a bunch of blowmolds, including that angel! it had some snowman and candles too I think? Anyway, Ive seen quite a few on peoples lawns here, theyre so great.
Cant wait to see what else you got!
I love a good blow mold. I haven't see the angel one before. Very cute. I just bought a Santa for my front porch, but he keeps blowing over in the wind.
ReplyDeleteThey're all great. I have the snowman, very large lawn size, but he's very faded and I'm gonna try and paint him. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely wonderful. I have a house and a garage full of thrift / swap meet finds but no Christmas items -- they are so expensive.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying this blog hop, but haven't added my name because I don't have anything wonderful to share. Thanks for letting me tag along though!
These are great! I just love the snowmen!
