Thrift - Pyrex Up The Wazoo

Picked all of the following at the local GoodWill. Eight pink and pale aqua 'Bolero Therm-O-Ware' atomic 3-legged plastic bowls. SOLD.

Promotional 'Golden Rosette' Pyrex casserole gift set, missing warming cradle, 1960-5.

$5 Bialetti espresso maker for myself. Pair Bodum glass coffee cups made in Switzerland. And a medium Americana Pyrex bowl, the smaller brown & gold had too much damage even though it would have completed my set, I can wait to find another in better condition.

Thrift - Kyes Trays

Thrift - Salty & Peppy

Picked up these vintage salt & pepper shakers at the thrift store. They used to 'meow' when turned over. Made in Japan. They aren't worth much but too cute to resist. And back to the thrift store they went.

Estate Score! Timo Sarpaneva Red Cast Iron Casserole

Decided to stop at an estate sale not far from my house. They've been so disappointing lately I just stopped going. Guess I arrived around 12pm and I walk in to see another empty house. I suspect the surviving family removes almost everything nowadays? What was described as "loads of kitchen" was quite the overstatement!

But lo and behold on the counter top I did notice this beauty! By one of my favorite designers, Timo Sarpaneva, this circa 1959 large enamel red cast iron casserole was made by W. Rosenlew & Cody in Finland. Chips and what-not, I consider it a great find. Today, they are only made in black by Iittala.

I knew immediately what this was 'cause I've been considering buying the smaller version with the wood handle. What I can't believe is that no one had picked it up sooner? Ha ha, they had the French Creuset stuff priced twice as high.

Found some little people with wood bodies and four of them have wood heads. Yes, they are collectible. There was an Etsy lady in from of me 'cause she had a bunch of aprons and a Richard Scary book (darn 'cause I've been hoping to find his books), other children books and cute little knick-knacks.

Thrift - Hello, It's 1985 Calling!

So I stopped by my mom's GoodWill and this is what I found. The coolest phone ever, probably from 1980-85. Made by Crusader this red "My Flower" phone utilizes the petals as the push buttons. You hang-up the phone simply by setting it down. It works too! Has a strange ring that I haven't heard before. I was talking into the petal side and kept hitting the numbers with my ear whilst complaining I couldn't hear anything. The hubby says turn the phone around and use the other end. Duh! Sold.

A large Nissen, Denmark teak cutting board in very good condition. For Sale.

And a sea foam Russel Wright by Steubenville dinner plate. The two other I left because of recent rim chips. There are some imperfections to the rim so they were probably seconds. Originally priced at $4, I asked for 50% off.

The second is a $2 blue gray speckled dinner plate "California Living" by Laurel, 1950-56. Living's design is attributed to Caleb Jackson and refined by Ted Scarpino. Living won a MOMA award for excellence in design. Both for Mom.

Thift - Woooo TupperWare

Other than the missed Kluk Kluks here are my finds at my fave thrift. Modern Russian nesting doll glasses. I don't know why I bought these and a few weeks ago passed on the real ones from the 60's?

Look I found another wooden monkey sans arms and the day after I found the Zoo Line Hippo. I have seen parts on Ebay before? Had to rescue him.

Several milk glass vases and pedestal. A replacement jar (it was missing a cork lid) for the one I broke the other day. A lone glass floater. Strawberry Shortcake tin. More lovely Tupperware. Four glass custard cups that I thought were Pyrex but they are Dynaware.
