No Rhyme or Reason

Happy Sunday!  It's Hanna here.  I've been in hiding.  I haven't found anything thrifting in who knows how long and life has been crazy busy.  I think the drought was broken by one of our blog followers, Rebecca.  She had contacted me at the end of the summer because she had a found a bird that needed to join my flock.  I received a package from her this week that really brightened my day.  I swear, it was also finally the beginning my thrifting success.

Rebecca definitely has an eye for things that I like!  The made in Japan bird figurine is headed to my bird collection and this sweet pup joined some animal friends on my living room mantle.  Thanks Rebecca, I appreciate you thinking of me and also that you take the time to read our blog.  Its always so fun to connect with people in blog land.

This weekend we made it down to the valley for the Oregon State football game (sad, sad loss) and I got to do a little thrifting.  I was really happy with my few finds.  There was absolutely no rhyme or reason to these finds, but I'm not complaining!
 I think my most exciting thrift was this Pyrex Butterfly Gold 664 casserole.  I knew this size existed but I had never seen one in person.  It is huge!  I can't quite decide if I will keep this for myself or if it is destined for Ebay.
 I've been eyeing this orange cast iron Descoware for a while but can never find any for a decent price or in good shape.  These 2 matching casseroles aren't in the best shape but for $2.99/piece I decided I would let them be my temporary start to this collection.
 Apparently I'm on a roll for this size of Pyrex.  The Butterprint is the second one I've found over the last few months.  I don't love Spring Blossom, but it was so cheap I couldn't leave it behind.  As I write this blog I'm enjoying some Prosecco in my purple atomic glass.  I hope I can find a few more of these, I absolutely love the pattern!  Lastly, a made in Japan Santa shaker to get me going on my holiday season thrifting, so exciting.
I also managed to find a few things for Erica.  I actually picked these Gurley candles for her in a grab bag at my local Goodwill this week.  I always get so excited when I find her Souvenir state glasses, it's one of my favorite collections that she has!

Well, I can't wait for Erica to share her Halloween displays with you in the next few days.  I am sure this is the best year yet!

  7. Wow, that 664 casserole is cool! I've never seen one like that. I'd have probably bought it if I didn't have a lot of casseroles already. Oh, who am I kidding--I'd have bought it anyway!

  9. When you say "I also managed to find a few things for Erica", YOU DO MEAN ME, right??? Haaa!
    I can't believe how big that Butterfly Gold is! Especially since Jill says she cooks a ham in it! lol
    You better hang on to that one. I love those Halloween candles. They're the same ones that I found at my last estate sale except mine are the x-mas version. Love the bird statue too! Blogger friends are so kind.
    Great finds!
    Erica :)
