Thrifty Thursday

On Saturday Johnny and I went to several antique/thrift stores in search of him a guitar and a record player. I found this Avon owl
and these two great piece of Pyrex the lady at the store let me have both piece for $15.00 which I thought was a great deal b/c of the color now if I could just get some of the pink ones I would be a happy camper!

My big announcement is coming tomorrow I will give you a hint it involves some wonderful prizes!!!

Also look for a shop update coming this weekend!

Have a Happy...

Hugs and Loves

  8. My mom used to have pyrex dishes just like these. MAN....I'd love to get my hands on those now.

    I had to smile when I saw the owl. I used to babysit for a family. They had quite a collection of little Avon perfume bottles. This was one of them.

  10. Oh my goodness I just bought that Avon owl bottle a few weeks ago. I even scored the original box.

    I will keep an eye out for Pyrex because to tell you the truth I not into it( shocker I know). I am always at a thrift at least once or twice a week. I will even keep my mom looking she goes every day( she lives right next door to one). I would say you scored big time for the two. I love how you display them.

    I can't wait until tomorrow!!! :D

  14. i always pass on the pyrex at the vintage shops, but i don't know why. i love them, and don't own a single one. i'm gonna have to seek some out.

    great finds.

  15. My mouth is hanging open. I feel OLD! Ha Ha

    My mom had the Avon Owl AND that set of Pyrex dishes when I was growing up. It's like looking back at my childhood!

    I do like the color though :D

  16. My grandmother use to buy a lot of Avon. That owl is so cute. I have to get out there and find some Pyrex. My daughter is building a nice collection for herself. It would be nice to have a few extra pieces and when you bring a food dish to a party you could leave it as a gift.

    I started a new blog just for fun and that is why it says "I love it just because". But it is me denise/Look beyond the picket fence!
