I Have a Blog Post!!
The last blog post I wrote was in July, oh, my - where has the time gone... I really am going to try to make an effort and write a little more often.
So, this post will be back to my original type of post - things I've bought at thrift stores over the last while. I don't buy that much anymore, so it has to be something cheap or something that really catches my eye.
A small Halloween treat bucket, 1980 is stamped on the bottom, bought at a thrift in New Brunswick.
I used to read Jack and Jill, I thought it was so great, a magazine with my name on it!! I bought this at a yard sale in Prince Edward Island.
I really can't leave a little Santa cup behind, especially when it's 99 cents.
I was in quite a few antique warehouses over the last week, I saw so many vintage Christmas ornaments just like this, the prices are crazy, I found this box at a thrift for $2. I am so lucky I have all these old decorations that I do, because I hardly ever see them like this anymore, for my kind of price!!!
These bowls reminded me so much of my Delphite Pyrex pieces, they were priced at 2 for $1.99 - a great price, I think. The only markings on them are 20 & 21 - that's it!! They're like a Fire King splash proof bowl - have you ever seen these?
I bought this enamel pot at an antique warehouse, I've always loved the enamel pots with the designs, I don't imagine I'll ever have one of those, so this will be good enough. It was probably the most reasonable priced thing in the shop!
When summer began, I told myself I would have 300 Vera scarves in my collection, it never happened, I used to see them nearly every time I went out, that never happens now!! So, after finding these two last week, I now have 300 Vera scarves. Yay!!
It's not very often you find anything so ridiculously priced at the thrift store, not on the cheap end of things anyway, I bought this unused Bath & Body Works 3 wick candle plus holder for $3 - we all know how much those candles cost - what a deal!!!!
This didn't take as long to write up as I imagined - I'm really going to try to post more often. Thanks for reading this post!!!
Well, you made lots of scores! Don't you just love thrifting?
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Jill! I remember those pumpkin candy baskets and I can't believe my kids didn't ever have one. I remember reading the Jack and Jill magazine while at the dentist's office when I was a kid. I can't believe you have 300 different Vera scarves!! lol I bought a large size Yankee jar candle with the ceramic 'lampshade' for Christmas at a yard sale for $4.00! The scent is Home for the Holidays - a favourite! The candles sell for over $20. and the shades are usually about $20. Best deal ever!!
ReplyDeleteHello my friend! I love seeing what you find. I haven't been much lately so I feel like I'm missing out on some fun stuff. Love the Santa mug! And I just looked down and realize I still don't have a coloring book either! haha! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Love that Santa mug and balls - I love finding vintage Christmas - just waiting until November 12th as all our thrifts wait to put out Christmas stuff until then as we are a military town and people get huffy when they put it out earlier. I am doing a thriftorama that morning with my Mom.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by - great to read your comment! Hope you find the mother load of vintage Christmas on Nov. 12!!!
DeleteGood to hear from you again! I remember the Jack and Jill magazines! Those were fun.
ReplyDeleteLot's of fun goodies!!!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you are back.
M : )
I loved reading your new post. It reminded of the fun I used to have thrift shopping. I haven't done that for a very long time and may just start having a little wander around the local charity shops.
ReplyDeleteI still always go in but I just don't buy much anymore, it was great when prices were cheaper, some of the shops have crazy prices now - not thrift store pricing at all!!!
DeleteFun finds! I have a similar mixing bowl that was my mother's, from the early 60s. I forget the maker-- will have to check. I hardly ever find Veras here too.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!!! Those delphite bowls look like Fire King splash proof to me!
ReplyDeleteI always feel the same way after blogging! It really doesn't take that long so I wonder why I just can't get into it any more? I totally blame Instagram!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back and that you wrote my favorite kind of post!
