$3.50

We were supposed to go grocery shopping in Massena, NY....But halfway there we kinda figured out that this being a loooonnnngg weekend; there would be half of Quebec and half Ontario at the border crossing....

So we just drove on to Ontario and pretty much stopped at all the yard sales on the way!

                                          It was a really good thrifting day, I'm not buying for the Etsy store anymore....

                                           I am a closet Snoopy maniac! So i was really happy to snap up
                                           this hockey themed pillowcase for a big ol'dollar.

                                           Next up 2 sets of 2 ice trays still in their wrappers for .25 cents

                                            These will come in handy because I have a big cooler to fill
                                            soon and I'm too stubborn and cheap to pay for ice!

                                In this picture: One Tupperware shaker for .25 cents (barely used) and
                                a cereal  keeper, Tupperware also for .50 cents.

                                Now as much as I dispise greasy, scratched Tupperware; I am a total sucker
                                for very cheap, barely used Tupperware!!! I never pass it up!
                                 These will come in handy!

                                Also in this picture; a Pyrex beverage server with gold kitchen utensils
                                The design is in poor shape, but I could not pass this up for $1.

                                  I will use it for cold water with my fancy ice cubes!

                              
                                         Now last but not least this little Blue Mountain Pottery bowl

                                         It will make a perfect catch all in my bedroom.
                                         It was .50 cents

                                         So all in all a surprise thrifting trip that was highly satisfying!

                                          I hope to post soon the pictures of the things I left behind....

Thrifted in Maine

Like i told you before, I didn't find much on my long weekend in Maine...

                                           I found this amazing purple jar that I'm using as a votive holder.

                                           From the sign in the shop, I learned that it was originaly clear glass but a chemical turned it purple over time....Wow, I love the color!

                               I've been eyeing the Camp Snoopy glass collection for a while now but I always find them too expensive, so I was thrilled to find this one for a dollar.
                              My cousin Josee had expressed the desire to get some fridgies, so this one was a great thrifty buy. I also found a glasbake milk glass mug for .99 cents at the Scarborough Goodwill, but for the time being it is missing in action...»oh well!

Sleep tight!

Retro Tuesday: Vintage Xmas finds and Baking

Yesterday was one of the BEST short roadtrip ever! It was Xmas,the 4th of July and my birthday all rolled up into one! We went to Massena, NY wich is just 2 bridges accross Cornwall, Ont.

Our first visit to Massena was depressing vintage wise, but this time I was hot on the trail of New England Coffee seasonnal blends and Seasonnal Coffee Mate. We went to Hannaford and it was like an amusement park! More on that tomorrow or Thursday. Right now let's stay in retro mode because it is Tuesday afterall!

I found those Santa light cover at my favorite church basement . 25cents for 6

A vintage cookie tin and a honeycomb centerpiece decoration, a quarter each. I also found a clear Pyrex 043 lid for a quarter. I got those at St-Vinnies.

I saw this cute guy @ Corwall's Value Village....I left him there!

I picked up this instead....A lovely Pyrex RW platter in Laurel. The price was too good to be true, 1.99$  

In case you good folks wouldn't believe me,lol

The pricing people had no idea what they had, and that is perfectly fine with me :)

I don't know if these snowmen are vintage but they are really cute and at 1.00$ for a strand I could not leave it there. The Salvation Army opened a new store in Cornwall with a bargain loft....good deals are to be had!

 Ok last but not least....I was going through old photos this morning and found one of myself 30 years ago, YIKES! I remember that afternoon well, it was December and I decided to bake cookies with my Snoopy apron, bought in 1977 in Kennebunk, Maine. I stil have the apron by the way.
Too bad Polaroid pics don't really age well, my mom took that picture.

This is my mom's kitchen, she was soooo proud of it. This takes me back.

This afternoon I'll be making caramel corn and trying not to eat it all myself!
