I know I’ve sone a couple posts in the past about canister sets. This one is very specific.

I love them. If I had room I’d have 2 sets this very moment.

$2.99-$4.99.

pig redux

Remember Flasher Pig and FrankenPig and others? I’ve added to the family today

Here we have accounting pig. He is a piggy bank but wouldn’t fit anything since he is only about 3.5 inches high.

I have also added Farming pig.

I hope he learns his trade well!

$0.99 each and still no idea on the maker!

Kidding around

Aww a cute cat. What is it?

Oh, an abacus. Great learning toy for kids. Wonder what the picture is on the other end.

The end.

Pine cone gnomes

Anyone who has been following this blog since the beginning (or has read back back back) knows of my obsession with this guy:

A nut tray with this weirdly adorable gnome. Then I found a piggy bank and a votive candle holder in the same line.

WELL

Just after Christmas my mother told me she saw more at a hardware store in their Christmas merchandise. It’s not thrift but I had hit the mother load and bought bought bought!

2 more banks (they came in a set of 2) for $3.99

a napkin holder ($2.99)

napkin ring ($0.79)

crystal bowl ($8.99)(but I needed it!)

cheese and cracker set. ($12.99)(I had to think on it but I’m happy with my buying decision)

Weird thing is, they came in plain cardboard boxes and there is no sign of any maker mark or even a distributor! If anyone knows about these guys, I’d be grateful for any info.

Since I’ve last been active, Pinterest has been born and I have the addiction. Feel free to pin things you find here.

Remember to pin back to the actual post, not just the home page otherwise people may not be able to find the wonderfulness that is the craziness!

My ride

Just an average day out thrifting in the small car…

This ones for Becky.

Hi Becky who asked when I was going to post a nee blog post. Figuring out wordpress for Android now.

This guy is in my home since I don’t know how to import from the gallery. I bought him a while ago and love the ceramic body and fuzzy spikes.

$1.88

Christmas in July

July is almost over sure but I found this and it was too good to pass up.

What does Santa do on his down time?

It’s not a pool but its something to relax in.

It is a cookie jar (I suppose) and was a ceramics project I think.

$5.99

Creeeeee-py

This picture was taken by my friend Paula in Florida. She was thrift shopping for a weird hand thing on facebook (best not to ask) At one store she found this grandma doll.

Wouldn’t that be nice to find sitting on your bed? Look at the hand!

She didn’t buy it because it was $30.
