Don't you love how each thrift shop has it's own personality? Not only in how the items are presented, but a pricing personality too.

When you find a multitude of fun things under 50 cents at one shop, they'll be $1-$2 and up at another thrift.

I struggle to leave behind lovely items when the price is too much. (Unless I'm going to use them myself!)

Although sometimes I just have to pickup items that "feel right" despite the cost!!
Then comes research time...

I've just discovered Corelle Corner as a resource for pyrex pattern identification. There's probably more sites out there - this one is working for me at the moment.
It's Labor Day in the US. Traditionally a barbecue with family and friends occasion. We're keeping it low key with an at home day.
I had to laugh at Late Night Coffee's reseller's post today - item #10 - take a break. It's easy for 24/7 addiction to this business! I'm guilty of that some days - to the suffering of my creative pursuits. (Dang car payment - that was the catalyst for my focus on the selling side of thrift!!)
Still - it's all enjoyable - despite the need for some uhhhhh ...boundaries... to the efforts!!
Linking in today (hopefully)...
Great finds. I havent seen footed coffee cups before. I'll have to be on the lookout for one now. x
ReplyDeleteThe Pendelfin figure is adorable! I have not seen that Pyrex pattern before; it's very cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about different thrifts having different pricing and personalities. Sometimes I'll find an item and wish it had been priced by another thrift.
I liked the tips at Late Night Coffee, too. I need to get going and get some things listed and out of my house.
I love the pattern on that footed coffee cup! The Pendelfin Twins figurine is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteE :)
Love the candle holder, but then I am quite partial to everything Scandinavian :-)
ReplyDeleteI just found a new thriftstore where the prices are crazy low, and they don't care what the heck they are selling as long as everything sells. I walked out with several Denby plates for $0.25 a piece last week. I love Goodwill though and the selections here in Maine are pretty good - but they definitely like to up-price the items they think are fancy-schmancy ;-)
I also found some goodies over the Labour Day weekend and have just posted them.
BTW, love your blog.
