Thrifted Vintage Christmas!!!

I can't go to the city without checking out the thrift stores, even if I'm supposed to be Christmas shopping,  there just might be something wonderful, lately, though, the chances of that happening are not very good, it's all junk!!  I had checked out my three usual stops - nothing, there was one left, which I go to sometimes, but it's not a regular like the others.  I'm glad I pulled in.  Everything I bought I love!!


This is my second one of this particular cup.


I love this set of salt and pepper shakers!!  So cute!!  No markings on them but after researching, looks like they're Josef.


This little figurine still has the silver Giftcraft sticker on the bottom.  I can never remember which company the "G' surrounded by leaves is - it's made in Taiwan. 

 

This stuff was all up front in the Christmas display, of course, I took a walk around the shop, at the back they had some merchandise that hadn't been priced, oh yes, I picked up these two boxes, how much I ask, $2 for the two boxes she says, then she got looking at them and remarked that they were old, I just said, I guess so, I just wanted to leave in case she changed her mind.  


I was especially happy to find that Santa one in the middle, I don't have one like that!


Woolcrest - the old Woolco brand, we Canadians all remember what our Walmart was at one time!  These ornaments apparently don't belong in this box, they're too mismatched - they were made in Wales, I wonder if any of these were.


I was so happy I stopped at that shop - a good $8 spent!!


Joining up with Thrifter Share today!   Laura at Thrifter Share is hosting a blog hop next week, I'm taking part - it will be full of all kinds of Christmasy kitschy fun!  What will I share??    You'll be able to link up next week with all your treasures - keep it in mind!


Another week - another link up at Thriftasaurus and Vintage Bliss Tuesdays

  5. You did great. Such sweet santa mugs. That's why we all keep thrifting, we never know what treasures might be there, right?.

  6. Yay! Another awesome thrifting post! Love those Santa shakers. I have them too and of course you can't pass up a Santa mug! Can you believe that I haven't bought one this year? I've been really well behaved :-)

  11. Great Christmas finds! I love the S&Ps and Santa and the Mrs -- is that a present for her that he's holding behind his back?!!! It seems that if a thrift shop thinks 'vintage' they up the price, so you did really well with only $8.00!

  14. What a steal on those ornaments! I found a box of vintage ornaments at a show that was priced $3.50. I was so excited until the seller said they were $3.50 each! I passed!
