Happy Friday!

This will probably be my last post until after the weekend. I'm heading up to our property in Northern Wisconsin with my family today - hopefully there will be some good sales up there. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Here's a few new items to tide you over until then!

 I found this really cool old box of Lincoln Logs. The front of the box is in decent shape, but the back is really bad. It does include some of the original wooden pieces (only 43 out of 91). I really liked the graphics on the box.

 Toys were much more imaginative and simplistic back then. I had some Lincoln Logs in the early 1980's and I had a lot of fun playing with them.

 Fruity plastic magnets!

 A Libbey's juice glass with a wheat design, and a Hazel Atlas pheasant glass.

 Another old tin. This one is unmarked.

 Pyrex goodness!

Cute made in Japan orange shakers. At least, I think they are oranges?

Just a few more finds...

I felt the urge to stop for some thriftin' madness. I think it was a good haul. What do you think?

  

Vintage brass Evans lighters.

 

A lone Hazel Atlas shaker. I couldn't just leave it there, right?

 

West Bend aluminum butter holder.

 

The sweetest bandit raccoon! He had a chip on his foot, but I painted it. Good as new!

 

McCoy 1.5 quart mixing bowl.

 

 

Really cool old metal recipe box. Tempted to paint it.. ?

 

 

Vintage Rosette cookie making tools - made in Japan.

 

More Pyrex. One of them actually came with the lid! Shocking!

 

I found a lot of random glass spoons. .50 cents each.

 

Libbey's tulip juice glass.

 

Brand new Anchor Hocking salt n' pepper shakers! Only $2.99!

 

Cute little mouse and some carrot salt n' pepper shakers.

 

Indiana Glass holly ice bucket and glasses. 

That's it for now. I'm heading off to Dream Land. Have a good nite!

Bored

Bit of a boring spell, so I might as well post some more recent finds. It's still a little chilly here in Wisconsin, so hopefully it warms up soon and we get some good rummage sales. I think the folks at all the Goodwill shops I frequent are starting to think I'm a regular.

 Dogwood glasses. I don't know the maker; there's no marking. But they are purty! Only .50 a piece at Goodwill.

 More depression era glassware. A Bromwell flour sifter - $3.99 at Goodwill.

Holt Howard white mugs. Now if I could only find some of the HH cutesy salt and pepper shakers!

 I am obsessed with finding old candy tins!

Pyrex Barbed Wire divided casserole dish (with the lid!!). Too bad it didn't have the metal cradle. Still, I never find nice Pyrex, so this is better than the yucky brown, green, and yellow I usually find.

 More Holt Howard mugs - pineapples!

 Quirky, retro drinking glasses marked Thailand Ocean.

Vintage lacquer tray (made in Japan). New (old) alarm clock. Apparently, it has a neon ring around the face of the clock that lights up, but only with a cord. Of course, it didn't come with the cord.

 Even more depression era glassware.

 Carnival glassware.

Melmac 'Catalina' bowls - I love them! So useful for ice cream and cereal! Also, ovenware USA bowl.

Introduction

Hello all. My name is Jenny (aka pirateystripes) and I'm a Wisconsin resident who happens to be obsessed with thrift stores, rummage and estate sales, and flea markets. I look for vintage items to add to my hoard of treasure. I decided to make this blog to post about my good (and bad) thrifting adventures, and to share my finds. I usually stop by the local thrift stores every weekend, so hopefully I will post at least a few times weekly. 

Here are some items I've found recently:

 Bunny girls (made in Japan) found at an antique mall. I guess there's a blue one too! :(

 Froggy. Found at Goodwill for .99.

 Ceramic critters (made in Japan - Napco). Found at Goodwill - $1.99 for the set.

 I love these angels! February will look marvelous in my Valentine's Day set up! Found her at Goodwill in Antigo, WI for $4.99 - a little pricey for my cheapskate tastes, but I had to have it.

 Wondermold napkin holder.

 Hazel Atlas kitchen gadgets. Not in the best shape, but they are still functional and cute.

 I've been finding a lot of Depression Era glass lately. Various thrifts, different prices. The yellow bowl was $6.00, the cups were $1.99 a piece, and the cake plate was $2.99.

 Vintage cake container. Now I'll have to bake a cake! It cost me a whole $2.00!

 Odds and ends. I think the poodles are adorable.

 Lustro Ware salt and pepper shakers. I want the Flour, Sugar, Tea, and Coffee containers to match. I'll keep my eyes peeled! These were $1.00 a piece.

 Marx Happi Time chicken coop. I found it in Appleton, WI at a Goodwill outlet. Those outlets are crazy! You basically dumpster dive with a bunch of other people, and then they weigh your purchase. .89 cents a pound. This tin coop was .25! I looked it up on ebay, and there's an entire farm to go with it. I really want to find some of the chicken figurines.

Milk glass chicken.. Hazel Atlas? I'm not sure. It was $2.00 at an antique mall.

 Old plastic animal figurines (made in Hong Kong). That bloody faced pink cat in the front looks like it just mauled another animal! Yikes!

 Golden Niagara Cream Sugar Corn tin. I liked the graphics.

 Vintage paper towel/foil holder. I wish the outside matched the vibrant color of the inside!

 

So that's it for now. I picked up some more stuffs yesterday and today, so I will post them tomorrow. Please be patient with me, as I'm still tweaking this blog. I used to be really into html back in the day, but I'm really rusty! Happy Thrifting!
