Great Weekend for Thriftin' and Pickin'

Back home after a great weekend away visiting with our daughter and her beau - we had the greatest time - thriftin' and pickin' - from early morning 'til into the evening.  I don't think I've ever seen so much glassware and everything vintage - it was such fun!!  Pyrex was purchased by both Carla and I - she has already blogged about her purchases here - pop on over and see what goodies she found!

Before I even got to Carla's - we stopped at a Value Village - some one must have been getting rid of their Pyrex - there were more pieces to be had there too but I left them for someone else...

The orange and Autumn Harvest 402's were both $3.99  and the set of Homestead bowls added up to $8.97.

I also got this cute retro snack set - I thought that the set was missing three lids but I found the same set online and now I don't think so - they just stack - paid $2.99

This Corning Spring Blossom pitcher was bought at another Value Village for $2.99

Things were looking pretty bleak at this one warehouse and then we spotted a huge display - all the Pyrex was on the floor and it was cheap - compared to every other booth!!

I found some Butterprint, the 403 was $6.95 and the little 403 casserole was $4.95.  I traded with my Pyrex buddy Sharon and got the Ivy 441 little bowl - part of the chip and dip set - she said she could never find the larger bowl to go with it - my weekend trip yielded this bowl at the cheap booth - $8.95 - I saw it again later for twice that much - guess I'll be ordering the bracket soon from Carpenter Don.

I have never seen the Heinz Promotional dish before and didn't figure I'd see it anytime soon, so I bought it for $11.  I read online that Heinz and Pyrex had a promotion going that you would send in Heinz labels and get this cute little pan - it's such a different shade from any other piece.

My last Pyrex purchase of the weekend was also my favorite and it might be nearly my all time favorite piece right now - I can't believe I found this Golden Leaf bowl for $14.00 and with a lid!!!!    Isn't it pretty??

I found a few other treasures as well.....

A BoneyM Christmas album for 50 cents, a vintage set of Christmas lights  - bought more for the box than the lights and this Ontario license plate from 1958  - my husband was born in Ontario in 1958 - I'm putting this away for Christmas - it's a bit rusty but beggars can't be choosers when you're looking for a certain year!!

The weekend was great - can't wait to do it again but not for a little while!!!

Sophie from Flea Market Finds is hosting a Pyrex Party - since I have my new favorite Pyrex piece right here in this post, I'm linking up.

Also linking up with Suzanne at Vintage Thingie Thursday again this week - always lots of treasures to check out there as well.
