Sir Thrift A lot

Congratulations Sir-Thrift-A-Lot!

2012-02-09T19:47:00.000-08:00

I'd like to announce some great news - I am a winner of a $250 Best Buy gift card! Such a perfect win for a guy who is looking for a new, expensive camera with a Canon Rebel in mind. My first Google Adsense check will be issued on March 2nd - another $100 in the bank towards the camera. I just had to share!

Remember:
You can't win if you don't enter.

PS: stay tuned! This has been an excellent thrifting week thanks to my bestie, my boyfriend, my legs my credit card & of course the people who donated - some exciting vintage finds have come my way.

Vintage Musical Bar Set!

2012-02-06T20:38:00.000-08:00

Today I picked up this what looks like complete vintage musical bar set from Value Village for a cool $7.99... decent price considering it's VALUE VILLAGE. You can buy a dishwashered, chipped Pyrex bowl for the same price. On the left it's an ice bucket on the right a decanter that sits in a slot with a nice red felt lining. With you lift the decanter, a whimsical tune, similar to a jewelry box, plays from the bar set. I've never seen one of these before.

Thrift on!

This Weeks Finds!

Joining FLEA MARKET FINDS

There was a lot of thrifting this past week, but minimal finds. I had my first Sunday off in FOREVER, so I was able to visit the Sunday Antique Market at St. Lawerence Market here in Toronto. There were some interesting items, but the only thing I left with were these deer sale & pepper shakers. One of the sellers insisted that they were donkeys. I bet he would have sworn his life on it.

A great gift from my bestie, picked up from Cambridge - two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles notebooks, never used, from 1989. Pretty neat find from Value Village. Also from Value Village I got these Treasure Troll gift bags for 99cents for the lot.

I finally listed a few items in my etsy shop - just two Super Mario Brothers birthday cards from 1989, quite rare. It's been months since I wanted to list things. I have a few more items, but me & natural light never seem to be in the right place at the same time.
You can view my shop RIGHT HERE
If anybody wants to volunteer to make me a beautiful banner, I'd really appreciate it.

Is $20 too much for a Pyrex bowl?

Recently I came across two pieces of the Friendship pattern - 441, 443 & at the antique market I saw the 444 in fantastic condition. I've only seen the 444 once before in a thrift & it was in terrible, terrible condition. Do you think $20 is too much to help complete the set?

PYREX: Blue Friendship 401 Blue

2012-02-02T20:40:00.000-08:00

This isn't my piece, but I had to share this great, unusual piece found by Mrs. T. on Flickr.

Once again, not my piece. Such a lucky, rare find. She found it in a little flea market in Hemlock, NY 60 miles north of Corning. You can read more about it here (fourth post down).

In the snowiest day of the year so far, we thrift.

(not pictured - mint #441 Blue Horizon from Value Village)

Vintage 1966 Linus & Lucy figures. Generally not a fan of Charlie Brown, but I couldn't say no. They were in two different bags of random toys, one had 7 iDogs in it, for $2.99 each. These are going on my new toy shelf located in the bedroom.

An amazing orphan shaker - vintage pink deer. My how I want the set now, you can buy them for me on eBay RIGHT HERE for $39.00 even or a starting bid of $10.99 with a BIN for $25.00 RIGHT HERE. A pair recently sold for $3.24 & another for $29.99. I cannot wait to own them! I paid 99cents for this little guy.

Does anybody else go look up the price of things on eBay when they get home after buying them? I'm just always so curious!

Not very vintage this week, but here's what came home with me:

A set of "Here lies salt, here lies pepper" gravestone shakers that were new in the package from Value Village. Also from Value Village, a canister of "creative pegs" or mini-clothespins made by Mollettine & retail for $18.75. I bought them in a bag full of junk along with a Rubix Cube keychain in need of repairs, two sets of Hematite magnetic gemstones & a bunch of other unmentionables. From a bag at Talize for $1.99 some Transformers & Spiderman cupcake cups & a very neat set of adjustable Hershey's measuring spoons. Lastly, a nice little owl mug picked up awhile ago set to be sold in my etsy store.

I am hoping this week will have a little more vintage in store.

Lids!! Lids!! Lids!!

2012-01-28T00:40:00.000-08:00

Earlier this week I showcased my recent finds of Pyrex lids, picked up from both Value Village & Goodwill. Just the other day, I happened across 4 470-C lids for 99cents each at Value Village! This is the Value Village that lacks Pyrex (well they all lack Pyrex within the city...), but lids seem to be bountiful! This winter season the lids seem to be outnumbering the casseroles. I'll be prepared for spring cleaning.

Butterprint & Bingo in Vintage Thingie Thursdays

2012-01-26T22:28:00.000-08:00

Today I am joining up with COLORADO LADY for
Vintage Thingie Thursdays.

This week I found two more Pyrex Butterprint bowls at Value Village, 441 & 442 - $3.99 & $5.99. I've completed now my second set of Butterprint Cinderella bowls & have additional, working on a third. It's my favourite pattern. I cannot wait to own it in pink & orange!

Below is another addition to my drinking glass collection! The one on the left I had bought in Windsor, Ontario awhile ago & the bestie picked up the one on the right in Cambridge not to long ago, never thought I would find a similar one, but one thing thrifting has taught me.. you never know what you are going to come across. There are some notable differences in the glasses making me think the one on the left is older. It does not have the card # in the top, the maker "Bazaar & Novelty Co." in the lower right. The left one also has the "FREE" spot marked as well as the number ranges per letter just under the letter. I've made the conclusion that the one on the left is older than the one on the right. These are definitely neat glasses!

Dumpster Dived!

2012-01-25T20:44:00.001-08:00

Take a peek at what I've been picking out of the trash...

A Bjork CD, a Charlie & the Chocolate Factory DVD, Weekly World News magazines, Rainbow Brite, Care Bears & Donald Duck Christmas record (among about 20 others), Working Girl on VHS, 4 great condition EGG magazines & 6 professionally framed Tom of Finland prints that had never been taken out of their original wrapping.

This isn't all. Not to long ago I picked about 200 cds out of the trash with my bestie & we kept what we wanted, sold 7 or so for about $25 (they gave us a quarter for Britney Spears) & another was sold on eBay for $30, the rest were donated to Goodwill. I've got a Boy George & Madonna poster, not pictured & a stack of books and other magazines. Funniest thing yet..? A garbage bag full of gay VHS porn. I guess it has to go somewhere, right? That stayed down there right next to the dumpster, but it was gone the next day. Another book in my "to read" pile is selling for $60 on Amazon - picked from the trash!

PS: this is only in the past few months... wonder what's to come? Will Sir Thrift-A-Lot have a monthly Dumpster Dived! post? Stay tuned!

WTF Tuesday: Odd Festival

2012-01-24T20:10:00.000-08:00

Must have been quite the festival...

Off the subject of WTF & just a fun LOL, I was searching "Value Village" on Youtube, first time ever, BTW & quite funny enough I came across a video with the description: "Zipcar Makes Dreams Come True. Value Village Haul. Oakville. Burlington. Hamilton. Stoney Creek. St. Catherines. Value Village = Dream". Never thought that there would be anybody else who would rent a Zipcar for the sole purpose of visiting thrift stores. & quite funny enough, my boyfriend is sitting next to me watching the video naming off what city each Value Village is located in as they popped up on the screen. If you are interested in the video it is below. However, when I go south to visit the thrifts, I hit up Salvation Army, Talize, Goodwill..

@ Thrift Core with Van

revisiting last week..

~~1. The gym WILL NOT BE IGNORED! haha, considering I am feeling better.~~ 2. Get those Canadian dailies in shape! 3. Start a collage or scrapbook IF I find a suitable, usable one this week. ~~4. Go out and have fun! Perhaps visit, Snakes & Lattes.~~ 5. Feel better.

Last week I was still feeling sick early in the week & came down with a horrible headache late in the week. The gym wasn't ignored, when I was feeling good, visited it two days... had some fun! Went on a thrifting spree, found some nice Friendship bowls & spent a nice night driving with my fiance. Drove by Snakes & Lattes, but the place was bustlin', I guess late Saturday evening is not the time to check it out. Thrifting was minimal though, so no scrapbook was found. Six days of work this week didn`t help me accomplish my goals.

This week:
1. Gym. Four days. No excuses.
2. Healthy eating. Eat more at home. Save some $.
3. Get those Canadian dailies in shape, finally get it off my goal list.
4. 5 items in my ETSY shop, not eBay shop.

Only four this week. I`m still not feeling well, the cold still lingers, I still feel exhausted. Here`s to making goals & keeping them!

I did make a pretty decent sale on eBay this past week. With their 50 free listings a month I`ve taken a "list high first" approach. If the item doesn`t sell, I will relist at a lower price. Have you ever heard of `Baby Cakes` featuring Ricki Lake & Craig Sheffer? The VHS actually sells for a pretty penny. I listed at $14.99 expecting one to no bids, but it actually ended up selling for $26.00. Currently the lowest listed one on Amazon is $45. I had bought this one a whim when VHS` were still a buck at Goodwill.

Some neat finds this week! A quick run down with some pics...

A set of vintage Niagara Falls salt & pepper shakers brought back from Cambridge by my friend Agnes for me. I've wanted these ones for awhile, have been on my want list & have been tempted by an eBay listing or four. Finally have a set in great condition for only $2.99. Also $2.99 a 401 brown Pyrex bowl - very simple & plain, there is something about the brown that I do enjoy. The owl planter was $1.99 from Talize. Vintage Playboy shot glass was $1.99 from Value Village.. a little expensive for a shot glass, but I definitely wanted this one for my collection & people pay up to $19.95 for this on eBay... Also been finding quite a few lids for Pyrex lately. Hadn't looked for them before, but now that I am they seem to be there.

Here are the pictures!

On my last trip to Windsor I had bought a DIY Mimosa Pudica AKA "The Sensitive Plant" kit from Colasanti's & have yet to plant it. I think this owl planter is the perfect fit & can't wait for the Mimosa to have it's home in Spring 2012! Check out the video if you are not aware of what a Mimosa plant is like, it's pretty damn cool.

Friendship
P Y R E X

443, 441. Absolutely beautiful. My mouth literally dropped when I saw these on the shelf. Friendship, it's been so long...
Well, not that long. I bought another 441 Friendship not to long ago that I never got around to posting about. These are my third & fourth pieces.

I searched long & hard for a great, dirty quote to go along with this post, I didn't find what I was looking for, but I did find one that I find suits this Friendship, & Pyrex in general, perfectly.

"Be very careful, a friendship that has lasted for years can be completely changed in an instant & never be the same again." source.

WTF Tuesday: Douchebag Jar

2012-01-17T20:14:00.000-08:00

Let me start of by saying "thank you" to everybody who has participated in the last 17 WTF TUESDAYS, but I'm going to be disbanding the inlinkz party due to lack of interest. I will however continue to post my own WTF's.

This week... WTF,
the only douchebag who would buy this from Urban Outfitters is a uncreative hipster douchebag with too much money. $10 for this canning jar, labeled with what could be a canning sticker & a hole in the top. I get it. It was on a show. Make your own. One of the stupidest items I've ever seen in a store.

WTF..
why the... didn't I buy it?
They were way too big, probably 7-8 pounds each & wouldn't hang off my walls. They have a few chips in the feet, too. They were $12.01 each, with 20% off for spending over $20 at Goodwill. Had no place for them, totally would have bought them... couldn't live with myself if I didn't take a picture of them.

I did however buy this vintage ET doll from 1982. I've wanted one for quite some time. He'll look great on my shelf. $2.02.

2 pounds of strawberries I cut up into perfection in a great condition Woodland bowl passed down to my fiance & I from his mother. Yum! Healthy, healthy!

Well, last week wasn't as productive as the week before, it seems to be a COLD & FLU INVASION here in Toronto & I am one of the sufferers & have been since Monday! Started with a sore throat, morphed into horrible sniffles, left me feeling green (not with envy) & without an appetite, but luckily, it seems to be on the way out, taking on it's next victim.

Last weeks goals:
1.~~Clean up the top of my credenza (see embarrassing photo).~~ 2. Gym 5 days this week. 3. Get my daily Canadian sweepstakes organized into a Wordpad file. ~~4. List at least 5 items in my~~ Etsy ~~shop~~. 5. Again, ~~Take 7 photos for my "A Photo A Day: Your Year In Photos" book.~~

Credenza was cleaned. Now it's toppled with a bunch of other crap! You can thank the boy for some of that. SIX items listed in my eBay shop. I have decided that right now is not the right time for "A Photo A Day: Your Year In Photos" book. I am not happy with my appearance, so I'm not living life to the fullest. Not something I want to remember. Another reason: my camera sucks.

Camera suggestions?

vintage photos of girls in bikinis sell well on eBay - LINKAGE.
THIS WEEK:
1. The gym WILL NOT BE IGNORED! haha, considering I am feeling better.
2. Get those Canadian dailies in shape!
3. Start a collage or scrapbook IF I find a suitable, usable one this week.
4. Go out and have fun! Perhaps visit, Snakes & Lattes.
5. Feel better.

Easy! Have a good week, see you next!

Awesome "Flea Market" Finds!

2012-01-14T20:39:00.001-08:00

It's Sunday, so once again it's time to join HER LIBRARY ADVENTURES for FLEA MARKET FINDS!

Also joining up with APRON THRIFT GIRL for Thrift Share Monday!

I felt I had some great luck this week, even though I visited a ton of thrift stores & only had a few finds, but had loads of fun along the way!

First up is a set of high ball glasses featuring a burlesque/pin up stripper hanging off a stripper pole. I haven't been able to find anything online on these & had doubts that these were vintage, even though I had some input from a woman in the store walking buy telling me they were "neat" & "from the '50s". I'm not sure what I am going to do with them, have what seems to be 100's of glasses.

A vintage Strauss Canadian Time made in Japan clock! Got this from Value Village. The clock was $9.99, not bad, it's very neat & there is one currently on eBay for nearly $100. There was an expired C battery in the battery compartment upon purchase & when I finally bought some batteries today, the lock wasn't working. Does anyone know a thing or two about clocks?

Also from the same trip, destined for my Etsy shop, this pretty neat tea towel which says, "Thank God for dirty dishes they have a story to tell while others still go hungry we are eating very well." By Irish Linen.

A vintage ice bucket? I have previously bought two of these. I am using one as an ashtray for guests on my balcony & one on my kitchen sink for sponges. This one I picked up & it had a little utensil to pick up ice. This was either put in there by someone or this is actually a vintage ice bucket. I have no clue. It wouldn't hold that much ice... $2.99. Value Village.

Here is a fun, reto fun - a 1980's Ronald McDonald stuffed toy in a bag of toys from Value Village for $1.99. I might have had something like this growing up...

Well, have a good week & THRIFT ON!

WTF Tuesday #17: Used Underwear Discussion & Link up!

2012-01-10T20:59:00.000-08:00

Here's to being single, seeing double and... buying used underwear!?!

I never got the underwear thing, does it actually sell? I've seen an older woman buy a bra before & I was shocked, but it was brought to my attention earlier today that bras are not in the same category as underwear & are not final sale at some stores. Bringing someone who has preconceived notions about thrift stores being "EW" & "GROSS", the used underwear rack, where pretty much every thrifter draws the line, doesn't do much to change their minds.

Find anything crazy, weird, odd or interesting this week?

Goal Link Up!

2012-01-09T19:39:00.000-08:00

It's that time again - time to be late for Van's Sunday Goal Link Up over at Thrift Core.

(one of the photos I took to meet my goals (see below). the mirror isn't dirty, it's the glares & Ziggy's leg is coming apart from the heat of the shower - I think). THINK THIN.
Any camera recommendations are highly appreciated!

Here were my goals last week:

~~1. Clean up that mess at the bottom of the credenza.~~
~~2. Start a new book.~~
~~3. Take 7 photos for my "A Photo A Day: Your Year In Photos" book.~~
~~4. Gym - at least 4 days this week, 5 would be lovely.~~
~~5. Make a header for my etsy shop.~~

All done. The etsy header (which you can check out here). I'm not happy with it. Maybe using Paint isn't the right way to go. Maybe I will have to try Photoshop or something. Credenza bottom is cleaned. I started a new book, on page about 120. It's called Suburban Hustler: Stories of a High-Tech Callboy - very adult reading right there. Found it in the trash along with various books on the same subject, Mein Kamof by Hitler, a Michael Jackson biography, a book from the early 80's about orgies, a Ghandi bio, a Disney VHS, a bootleg video on wigs for drag queens, some nude used birthday cards... very weird collection! Gym was 5 times a week! And photos are well on their way.

Goals for this week:

1. Clean up the top of my credenza (see embarrassing photo).
2. Gym 5 days this week.
3. Get my daily Canadian sweepstakes organized into a Wordpad file.
4. List at least 5 items in my Etsy shop.
5. Again, Take 7 photos for my "A Photo A Day: Your Year In Photos" book.

Goals may be hard to meet this week. I've come down with a kinda gross cold & only want to spend time in bed.

Pop Culture Madness: Flea Market Finds!

2012-01-08T18:54:00.001-08:00

Sir Thrift-A-Lot
@ Flea Market Finds

Recent days have provided some really neat finds! It's seems like after Christmas it's "out with the old, in with the new".

These very cool comic appetizer plates from CB2, still with their stickers for 99¢ each from Goodwill. I had convinced myself there was a set of four, but further investigation online proved there was only 3 to the set, that they are no longer available & they originally only cost $1.95! From Talize I was stoked to come across this Saved By the Bell board game from 1992 by Pressman. Love owning the original 1992 & not the 2010 reissue! Kelly was always my favourite & the episode I always remember is the one where Jessie gets addicted to caffeine pills. It seems pretty popular. "I'M SO EXCITED! I'M SO EXCITEEEEED! I'M SO... SCARED..."

I had read that some other people were suffering from the same fate - a lack of owls. I was just about to leave the ghetto Salvation Army when I looked to my left & spotted the following: a vintage Otagiri made in Japan letter holder & tape dispenser, both $1.99. Unfortunately both have tiny chips & the tape dispenser is missing the tape holder, but still couldn't pass them up! And these two made in Japan napkin holders for $2.99 each! One has a chipped nose, but the other one is pristine. Chips are so unfortunate.

Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cake pan from 1989 by Wilton for $4.04 from Goodwill. I was lucky enough to score some discounted read & green decorative icing from Winners for $1.20 a tube, regular $3.99 at their discounted price! The Golf Gab notepad by Vagabond Creations from Value Village with such corny phrases as: "I'll be teed off if you don't write", "Thought I'd get on the ball & write", "You're my bag!", "Hope you're feeling up to par!". Love these little notepads, especially the ones from Paula Co! One of my favourite recent finds - a Dick Tracy corkboard made by Disney probably in 1990 or 1991! I had previously bought a corkboard to display my pins (badges), but never got around to it yet, was rather plan - this is killer! $2.99 from Value Village!

Some linen finds:
an almost mint condition vintage Strawberry Shortcake pillow case! 99cents from Goodwill.
a pretty decent yellow & mushroom table cloth, probably destined for my etsy shop!
a pretty rare Felix The Cat duvet cover!! I love the design. If I was crafty I would love to make some pillows out of it, but alas, I am not & probably never will. We'll see if this makes it in the shop!

2012-01-05T20:39:00.000-08:00

WTF - A Sharps Box!? - Tuesday!

2012-01-02T19:09:00.000-08:00

Summed up in pretty much one word - REALLY!?

Surprisingly enough this isn't the first time I've seen a sharps box for sale at a thrift store. You could own the one below for only 99cents!

BTW, I welcome you to WTF TUESDAYS! 2012!

A vintage ashtray, Made in Japan from Goodwill!

Some Fred Products Ice Kabobs because... "everything's more fun on a stick!"

& lastly, what is a post without some Pyrex?

This #471 Serve & Store orange Pyrex is in pristine condition & purchased from Goodwill for $1.51. No lid, but just incase I ever come across the lid... Now Butterfly Gold, not a favourite of mine, but I couldn't say no to yet another piece of pristine Pyrex, especially a refrigerator dish! Lid is chippy, like most of the ones I have been coming across lately, but that's still cool. $5.99 at Value Village.

Goodwill tomorrow after work - first thrift of 2012!

Last Thrift of the Year! Goodbye 2011!

Today marks my last thrifting trip of 2011. Here are my finds.

JOINING @
THE THRIFTY GROOVE
FOR
Thrifty Things Friday!

From Value Village, this 1981 Smurfs keychain - 99cents!

Also 99cents, this New Kids on the Block pillow sham from 1990, Big Step Productions INC. Goodwill.

From another Goodwill I picked up these two albums. One titled "A Photo A Day: Your Year In Photos". I believe it has 365 slots (next year is a leap year, isn't it?) with spaces next to it to write the date & little tidbits of information. I am planning this as a project for the year 2012. I get one grace day. This album was $2.52. This particular Goodwill has enacted a "NO PRICE, NO SALE" rule, luckily, they sold me this without a price. The next album is a "Takeout Menu Organizer", very handy if I ordered out more often, but too neat to leave behind for $1.51. Never used & from 2007 from Knock, Knock. You can check it out on Amazon right here, but looks like it's no longer available. It's pretty cool! Might come in handy this winter.

Got two records, Soul Asylum - Hang Time & 10,000 Maniacs - In My Tribe. $1.51 each. Goodwill. Jeez, went to 3 Goodwills today!

When was your last thrift of 2011? What did you find?

Thrift Scores!

2011-12-29T19:52:00.000-08:00

Thrift Scores!

A couple finds from recent times, all fun! Down below is my new Popples sheet for my vintage & retro flat sheet collection. It's Popples "We'd rather be leaping than sleeping!" 1985 flat sheet by Those Characters from Cleveland INC. First time I've seen anything Popples in the thrifts! Goodwill, $3.99.

A Spring Blossom bowl that was picked up over a month ago by my friend Agnes for me in Cambridge, a #402 Spring Blossom mixing bowl in fantastic condition. Thanks yet again Agnes! Value Village, $4.99.

I love this stationery. I'll never use it though, so it's off to the Etsy shop. It's by Hallmark & just so uplifting. I'd love to be sent a letter via snail main on this stationery. Goodwill.

Thrifting & 2nd Birthday!

2011-12-26T23:25:00.000-08:00

Up above is the beautiful planter I bought from Goodwill last week for $2.52. Neat, huh?

December 22nd, 2011 marked the second birthday of Sir Thrift-A-Lot & I baked a cake with a little help from my bestie, Agnes to celebrate! This is the first cake in about 12 years that I made myself, so take it easy with any criticism.

An Etsy buy, this sheet of retro/vintage Nintendo stickers featuring Mario & Luigi. From 1989 made by Nintendo of American, INC. $3 shipped with some E.T. stickers I've yet to feature here.

Yet another beautiful bowl bought for me by my bestie in Cambridge, Ontario, which seems to be bountiful for many rarer pieces of Pyrex! A little over priced at $9.99, but great condition, this #444 Butterprint Cinderella bowl is a wonderful addition to my growing second set. THANKS AGNES!
