Honeycombs and Some Other Prizes

Happy Tuesday!  Now that I'm working at home I feel all cooped up at the end of the day and a quick run to the GW is the only cure.  I've found a few goodies here and there, mostly holiday themed items for Erica.  Here are the prizes:
 I'm not the wild holiday decorator like Erica, mostly because we're never home for holidays.  I love contributing to her madness though!  I was super excited for the made in Denmark Thanksgiving turkey and Pilgrim, I've never seen anything like them before.  The Beistle kitty was irresistible too.
 I love purchasing creepy things for Sister.  The bunny is what we would call, "On the loose," but I thought he would be happy in Easterland at Erica's next year.  She also has a pair of anthropomorphic peppers and I felt like this grumpy veggie would feel right at home next to them.
I picked up a few random items for myself also.  First, I had to have this dip bowl with the zodiac signs.  I wonder what the chip bowl that goes with it looks like?  I really liked this beer shaker for Matt.  If you can't read it, it says "I have a few reasons for drinking, and one has just entered my head, If a man can't drink when he's living, how the hell can he drink when he's dead?"  This is about the most random made in Japan shaker I've ever found!
 I think the Pyrex gods were feeling sorry for me.  I can't remember the last time I bought a piece, let alone butterprint, lucky me!
 And my most favorite find, a Sunkist Oranges crate.  I sure wish the paper graphics were in better shape, although I kind of like this weathered look.
Its a big crate for sure and the first I've ever found at a GW.  I paid a little more than I usually would for a crate ($4.99), but I was so happy to find something for once that I just went for it!
In other news, I got a new fur niece (don't worry Erica didn't get a 4th dog!)  This is my Sister-in-laws new puppy Bindi.  She is a little angel and Piper loved her when they met last weekend.  So of course I've had puppy fever all week!  Here's to hoping I have some self control!

Better late than never.  I'm linking up over at Thriftasaurus!
Until we meet again!

  1. Great finds! And yes, it's quite rare to find a good piece of Pyrex like that now. Bindi couldn't be cuter! A quick run to the Goodwill is all I've been doing to get a little fix lately too.
    It works!
    Erica :)

  3. The Husband works from home too and understands how you feel. It took him time, but he's pretty well adjusted to it now. I can't imagine a better way for you to end a day at work!
    Those honey combs are so great, I'm a bit jealous, well a lot jealous! So hard to find the good stuff in decent shape. And the crate is awesome. Something like that would have been so expensive at any of my GW's.

  4. Oh you found some great things! Love the butterprint and that pepper shaker is too funny. The puppy is so sweet, she looks like she's waiting for a cookie, so hopeful. Take care - Dawn

  10. Cute puppy! Fall/Halloween Decor is ON MY BRAIN! I snagged a great blow mold pumpkin on Monday and that gave me an itch to drag out all my Halloween stuff. I forget how much I hoard away, but I'm super excited to decorate for out Costume Ball! I also wish I had that GREAT create to use in the drug store of "West Side Story!"
