the Thrifty Pirate: Ginormous post

Hello fellow thrifters! I hope everyone had a great weekend! It was freezing here on Saturday! Brrrrr!! I braved the cold and managed to go to a few church rummages and garage sales. Here's some of the goodies that I found. Let me know what you think!

Hull kitten planter. It's a little scary looking, but it grows on you.

Really cute cherry patterned bowl. I don't know who the maker is. The bottom has a stamp that I can't read, and it also says 'Lead Free'. If this looks familiar to anyone, please let me know!

Creepy clown die cuts from Beistle. I buy all the die cuts I can get my hands on, so I couldn't pass these up at .25 cents a piece. A couple of them are from 1985 and 1996.

I think I'll put these in my front windows for Halloween! Mwahahaha!

I also found a pile of St. Patty's Day die cuts! The Dennison Leprechaun on the far right is so cute!

I haven't found many Golden Nature Guides lately, so I was thrilled to find this one today for .79 cents!

Vintage Christmas tablecloths.

Napco sleigh planter. .25 cents at a flea market. I plan to put some vintage ornaments in it for Christmas.

A General Electric daisy clock. It works perfectly, except the dial doesn't light up anymore. Still, it looks great in my kitchen!

I don't think these are very old, but how can I not buy a flock of bobble head turkeys?

The Hazel Atlas salt and pepper shakers were in my parent's attic, and they gave them to me (heehee). The aluminum bowl was .99 at GW - Wear-Ever brand. I think it's amazing. I can't wait to make cookies in it!

Fire King bowls. The bright colors are so pretty! I got them at GW, .99 cents a piece.

Chalkware veggies.

A Frankoma (803) honey jar from my folks. The bee on top.. :-)

Owl picture. I found a lot of stuff from the 70's this weekend.

So I'm up in my parent's attic gathering up some of my old things that are stored there, and I look in this box and see two Jadeite bowls. I flip my lid!! My awesome mom gave them to me, so I can now proudly say I own real Fire King Jadeite

Fiesta Ware gravy boat. It looks cute on this little yellow tray I found.

Mallo-Ware plastic cups. I also went to a rummage sale and this lady had a huge stack of Mallo-Ware, but she wanted $25.00. What can I say, I'm cheap. These two cups were .25 cents a piece. They were so coffee stained when I bought them. I used some serious elbow grease to bring back their color.

Hall Autumn Leaf mixing bowl - $1.00 at a rummage sale.

Super cute McCoy pottery sugar bowl and creamer. .50 cents a piece at a flea market!

I got this minty green horse planter at DJ's Antiques & Consignments. I couldn't pass it up! It's unmarked, but I'm guessing it's McCoy.

Puppy planter.

My dad found these made in Japan duck salt and pepper shakers. What is it with ducks and top hats? Uncle Scrooge wears one too..

The white planter is marked Terrace Ceramics USA (.25 cents), and I bought it at Habitat for Humanity ReStore - they have a home goods department and they are literally dirt cheap! The baby boots planter is marked Relpo. Now if I could find one of those cute lamb planters.
