Why you may ask? It was not because they didn't offer lovely interesting things, I think my scope has narrowed.
Don't be shocked, I still have a huge and hanging thrifting bucket list!
Here's what I got in Maine for $10 dollars.
Now the saltine tin was definitely on my thifting buckert list.
I've been eyeing them for the past year and I always found them too expensive on Etsy because you have to add the shipping(this coming from an Etsy shop owner,lol )
I also got the Pyrex Flamingo dinnerware bowl for $1, so that means I need to find 3 more to complete my set. I you have some and want to get rid of them drop me a line....
And the classic 501 fridgie. Why the fridgie? Well the price was right at $4.00 and one I have is all chippy and getting dangerous.
So I spent a big $10.00 at the thrift in Maine....
Yesterday we did go to a local flea market, it was their last day of he season... Finnegan's flea market in Hudson, QC.
It is a magical place, and again much better without the heat and the crazy, bossy tourists.
Antiques OPEN!
That blue bird tea set is a hoot!
You know me and blowmolds!
I nearly came home with this little guy....
I love a big old barn
This barn is actually open year round on appointment.
It is full of beautifyl restored furniture.
However, being in constant contact with Dan Woodworker extraordinaire, I know
that most of the finishes on the furniture looks bad. The color is too bold, too uni-dimensionnal and the varnish is WAY too shiny!
I found this table near the barn, unattended was very whimsical and I had to snap it
for posterity.
The vintage/antiques factor was lower than the crafter factor and there was a lot of cool things to get for Xmas.
A got a necklace (it's a gift so I'm not telling)
And I got this...
Funny how its name escaped my mind as soon as I purchased it....
I remember it's supposed to taste of hazelnuts....
It comes from Vanleek Hill, Ont. and it is organic.
Who cares about the name? HAHAHA, not me!
Have a great week!
I need to catch the end of Walking Dead

The other week I saw the Saltine tin at the Salvation Army, in my excitement of finding a pile of other things, I forgot to go back the second time round, I've been kicking myself ever since.
Big spender!
Never knew those specific tins were sought after.
Did you notice how much that bluebird set was? I collect that stuff! Just curious.
I would not have been able to walk away from the bluebird tea set! My BFF just recently started collecting vintage tins and I bought her the Saltine one at a garage sale for a quarter. I see them at just about every sale I go to! Thanks for sharing:-)

I think I just recently saw a couple of Flamingo bowls at a nearby antique story. Let me go by there again and check it out for ya. I'll get back to you on it! :)
That Saltine tin is on my list!

Sir: I think the set was $58.00, but not sure I look real fast!
Denise: That would be soooo cool!
Erica: God I'm a little bit jealous! A quarter for the Saltine tin! OMG! That is a good deal :)
I have 2 of those Saltine tins- as a matter of fact, I just used one to store an opened bag of confectioner's sugar (keeps it safe from ants!). They are a perfect size for storing things!
I love the saltine tin as I remember using those growing up! Good deal!
