Hello Fellow Thrifters and Friends,
At first I thought this would be a dull thrifting week because I was going to enter my blog post with only one purchased treasure. However a trip to the antique stores with my mother in law proved to help fix my dilemma. We were in Beaumont and went to about four different thrift mall type stores, and had a splendid time! Here are the treasures from that fun visit...
Ok is that not the cutest little sewing machine ever! PLUS its holly hobby. Holly hobby always makes me think of my oldest thrifty sister because my mom was really into dressing her up like holly hobby. So funny. My mom went through her little house on the prairie phase where she wanted us all looking like prairie children. Its fun memories to think on, and also makes me thankful that I took my clothing choices into my own hands.
I paid a bit more then I usually pay, but this was a rather unique find I thought. I paid $6.00, which was 50% off the original price. It still makes me smile when I look at its cute blue color and sweet little holly hobby picture.
And it wouldn't be a perfect weekend without a Pyrex purchase
My first baby fridgie for $5.00 with out a lid. Don't judge that I paid that much for it, I couldn't resist getting my first little fridgie. And I thought to find it for that price in an antique store was a great steal.
Speaking of Pyrex today at the antique stores I saw more Pyrex in one spot then I have ever seen in my life. I had to take some pictures to share with you all...
My heart Pitter Patters every time I look at these pictures. If I had a unlimited budget I would have bought it all, but you know that just wouldn't be very fun because I sure do love hunting for Pyrex treasures at the thrift stores. Its so exciting to finally find one, and know it was a great deal. All of the above Pryex was really expensive for my thrifty little budget.
This antique store was so cute! This is my cute mother in law and her friend.
Here is my last Pyrex find of the week, and I found it at my local GoodWill
Look who has a buddy now? My Pyrex lemon pitcher! The pitcher without the lid is the one I already owned, and I found the other one at Goodwill with a lid for $2.99. See how exciting the joy of the hunt is?
I bought this sweet little TY bear for my mother in law for $0.75. He is the sweetest little bear.

ReplyDeleteOh I'm loving that display of pyrex, the aqua and white are divine. I would love a Holly Hobby machine for my little girl. you certainly had a good week end.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and your MIL had a great time! What a fun thing to do together. I have never seen a machine like that - it is indeed really really cute. I remember having a favourite set of stationary that was Holly Hobby when I was a wee bairn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great display that booth has for Pyrex. My kitchen at home should look so good.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that one should not buy massive quantities at once. It is the thrill of the hunt and the stories that go with each piece.
Why in the world did Holly Hobby last long enough to be half off? That was waiting for you for sure.
Lots of awesome finds! No judgment about the Pyrex fridgie.
ReplyDeleteAw do you not wear a mob-cap anymore? Shame! Great find though, and yay for your pyrex!

ReplyDeleteYour Holly Hobby sewing machine is just so perfect! I loved dressing up as a prairie girl when I was little too with my sisters. You have so many great finds!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the sewing machine- does it still work?
ReplyDeleteAnd completely drooling over all of that Pyrex! Sounds like my kind of weekend !
Holy Pyrex awesomeness! As you know, I'm trying really hard to limit what comes into my house and purge a lot of stuff out of it (including - gasp! - some of my vintage Pyrex). Nevertheless, I don't know that I could have resisted all of that gorgeous Pyrex in one place :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, that is the cutest little sewing machine ever! Great finds this week!
