I found this amazing TV tray (it even has legs for breakfast in bed!) from the Dukes of Hazzard show. It was in the dreaded "antiques" section of the thrift store (= higher prices than normal), but since the store was having a 25% off sale, I was able to get it for $7.50. Not too bad, and when I get tired of looking at the boys, I can resell it for a nice profit, I think.
The stars and stripes milk glass mug (37 cents!) is my new favorite coffee mug, even if it isn't Pyrex. I LOVE it, and don't know how anyone could get rid of something like that! Plus it matches the tray- bonus!
As you may have guessed, my obsession with Pyrex is always high on the list right now. I found this Pink Gooseberry 471 (1 pt) casserole the other day, which completes my set of those casseroles, minus a couple of lids.
I also found two Colonial Mist 441 Cinderella bowls. Not my favorite pattern, but at $1.50 each I couldn't resist. I was surprised to learn that the white glaze on the outside is fired on- that seemed to me like and unneccessary step for a bowl that is already white, but I guess if Pyrex didn't do that, the pattern would have looked like those ugly Glasbake bowls with the blue flowers I always see. Well, I learned something! LOL, another cameo by the stars and stripes mug, plus a Butterfly Gold Pyrex mug (75 cents).
This next one was a bit of a splurge, but I have never seen anything like this:
A triangular shaped casserole with atomic snowflake design and stand! It is made by Inland Glass and in mint condition. It is definitely going to be a display piece in my collection, even if it's not Pyrex.
I got this really neat orange and green planter for $3. I have never seen an orange planter before, so had to get it because my living room is orange and green.
I did find some vintage clothing finally. These antique safety glasses are so amazing- still in their original box.
And this 1940s crepe dress was found in an small town thrift store in upstate PA for $4. It's incredible and in perfect condition- watch for it in my Etsy store!
Whoa! You definitely scored some great things. I'm so happy that someone is having luck in the thrift stores!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,

Haha! Love the Steampunk glasses. How about a whole outfit.
ReplyDeleteThat would be kind of fun- I'll see what I can do!
DeleteI love the orange and green planter, and that triangular bowl is so cute! You made a really good haul!
ReplyDeleteEW. Colonial Mist is disgusting (sorry Jill!), but that casserole is killer! I have some triangular JAJ Pyrex somewhere. It's not the most beautiful pattern, but, well, it's triangular!
ReplyDeleteI also think that the Dukes of Hazzard TV tray is fab. $7.50 isn't a lot for it. I also have that American Flag mug!
Congrats on completing the pink Gooseberry set! You don't find many lids around you? I find more lids than actual Pyrex pieces lately.
OMG - !!! - could I have used anymore of those?

DeleteLovely, Pyrex and how TOTALLY COOL that triangle dish and stand are! Lots of neat finds, my sister would flip over Dukes tray!
ReplyDeleteIt's always so satisfying to complete a set! Love the Dukes tray. They were my fav way back when.
ReplyDeleteHi Susie, what a score, I like the triangular dish also, pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteHey Q:
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's really a HUGE antique mall. I found it through Craigslist. I was looking for a vintage Star Wars ATAT for my son and found this dealer. It was a hike for us, but a really fun day. It's Black Rose....and I think 2 more words after it. I'm sure if you google it, it'll come right up. Like I said, it's definitely competitive prices, but even if you don't buy, it's just fun to look!
