Recently...

First, to let you know a little about me;
I love thrifting. It's addictive and fun.
There's nothing like walking into a thrift store and finding something great.
No one I know seems to understand this, or at least not yet.
So, I'm here to share it with the internet to see if anyone out there can enjoy it with me.
and if not, well, at least I get to practice my writing skills...

Over the last few months I've really gotten into thrifting and have collected quite a lot of stuff, so, we are going to have to play catch up a little bit.

These two weren't thrifted by me, I bought them from a vintage store in Kitchener, Ontario.
They're awesome! White Tiger Vintage Boutique!

This beauty was found at a goodwill. I love the colour and the polka dots and the way it hangs with the pleats.

I love this "tuxedo" dress. It's hard to tell on the Judy but it's very flattering with the black stripe in the middle. It was only $7 but, then I had to have it dry cleaned and spent some time ripping out the shoulder pads.




This gorgeous coat was a mere $13.99. It's wool and made in Canada by a company called "Little Nugget" I don't know a whole lot about them. The second photo is of the detail on the left breast. The accents on it are amazing. I bought it at a Value Village and went back there the following week and found a second coat by the same company, it wasn't as nice though, just red with black trim and twice the price. 

This beautiful dress reminds me of a flight attendants uniform.

I got these two on the same trip to Goodwill. They are both handmade and fit perfectly. The one on the left reminds me of a picnic blanket. They are great!





That's all for now,
Happy thrifting!

How it all began...

I'm new at this, so bare with me.

I don't know what's going to come of this blog. Hopefully lots of pyrex. and other cool stuff too.
I fell in love with Pyrex at the beginning of this summer.

It all started with this...

A 3 bowl set of the Butterfly Gold 1 pattern in pristine condition. I found it at a yard sale, and it was only $5!!!
Then, just the next day I was in the Salvation Army in Lindsay, which just happens to be one of my favourite thrifting locations and found this fantastic Butterfly Gold 2 pattern casserole dish with a lid! for only $8!! I don't know if this is the original lid, but it does have a Pyrex marking on it, and it fits so... good enough for me!

After only a month and a half, this is what my collection looked like...

The Butterfly Gold butter dish was from my mother, she didn't want it. (WHAT?!)
The Gooseberry Pink was $15(flinch) at an antique market, it was a bit pricey for me, but, it's a fantastic pattern and in great shape! the Blue Fridgie was $3 with a lid! at my favourite Salvation Army.
and
the Old Town mug was 50 cents, oh, and there's 5 more of them!!
phew... and there's so many more to see.
until next time. (probably tomorrow)
