More awesome goodies!

So everything is progressing along for the move.

In the meantime here are the other things (TREASURES) I found in the church basement....

                                          A Frontier Town metal tray . I wish I had known about this place or any vintage
                                          amusement park when I was a kid...We didn't have a car and amusement parks                                           were basically verboten....
                                          And it is from the Adirondacks....I love going there!
  

                                                    I also have a deep love for paint by numbers art.
                                                    So when I saw this matching pair of egrets beauty's
                                                     I was hooked!

                                                    I think they will look smashing in my new bedroom!

            On move related news...Dan believes we have 300 boxes...SAY WHAT????? Even with the Pyrex
             I don't think we have over 200...

             I  'll keep you posted!

Seen Around

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!

Thrifty Gifts

A couple of weeks ago, out of the blue, I got an email from a lady I used to work with.  Her mother was selling her house and they had a lot of stuff to get rid off.

Well we talked and she was really pushing a dinette set which I had no room for (she's a nice pusher).

Eventally we went over and she gave use some really cool pieces.....

I've been wanting a pickup table for ages! I nearly bought one the other day!

 With the addition of this cool orange tray, it turns into a fab

phone table!

Notice the blue tape on the baseboards, a work in progress....

We also got 2 bookshelves with sliding glass doors. I don't have pictures because the light never

seems quite right. Bummer

Thank you Josée! We love the furniture!

Until next time!
