So yesterday we took a car load of treasures to Brockville, Ontario.
I know, I know we have thrifts in Quebec, but for the most part I think volunteers don't know anything about vintage and throw stuff away if it is not new enough. I heard : Throw it out it's junk! more than once in the last few months....
Which might explain why my garage sale didn't go so well....
I had made the promise not to buy stuff unless it was A MUST! A Pyrex I've been looking for or something we need...But I took pictures....
A beer cap wising well....wat floors me is not that someone drank all that beer....but that person had the vision to keep them all and build an ugly ass wishing well!
But it was all made from Molson Canadian beer caps! How patriotic!
As you might know, I have a HUGE vintage astray addiction....And I am a non-smoker (go figure).But
this one gave me the wheelies....It looked like a sci-fi creature....
Tis I really liked and nearly dragged home...Miss V take a deep breath and remember the promise....
I also like tacky travel souvenirs and what better than this tacky tray from the Notre Dame de Lourdes
sanctuary in Rigaud, Quebec....It is near my house!
That bowl was unmarked but really sad looking....so I will give it its 2 minutes of fame....
I really like this fondue kit, all bright, orange and vintage....and quite a steal at $4.99! The promise, the PROMISE!
A sweet Fireking casserole waiting for a home....Now even if I am not a huge fan of Fireking I love this pattern...
I like the look of a vintage globe I find that the $24.99 price tag was ridiculous!
We had great fun and a great day and can't wait to pack more boxes!

So proud of you for resisting! I would have bought that gorgeous blue/green dish! And while the creepy wishing well is well...creepy, I must say I love the bottle caps! Canadian fan that I am!
hugs,

Not only was the globe expensive, but a few other price tags looked "pricey." Do folks really pay those prices? But I too liked the tiered dish. The rest they can keep. Glad you resisted the urge to buy. Linda@Wetcreek Blog
I love those old fondue pots, thinking of buying one one of these days. We had one just like that as a kid - used to fondue deer meat a lot. That globe was bloody expensive though.
