A dream that I was hauling one of my friends into Goodwill by her wrist and dragging her to the 3rd row shelf's for some reason. ~END~
Well I get up this morning, and before the alarm goes off im already singing "Simon Zealotes" in my head (if only I could sound as good as I do in my mind, haha!) get dressed go to school, sit through Spanish, test in Psychology, then I see my friend I saw in the dream... we walk to Goodwill and I drag her to the 3rd row and there sitting fine and pretty is the "hunters bounty".
First I find this set of 4 counter containers, in green with the little gold stems on them. I think they may be to 60's for my 1940's green kitchen, but well see.
I was TOTALLY satisfied and thanked the 'Retro Gods', but then it was "green sticker day" so I could pick another item... I search and search and my friend is hunting too. (I was hoping there would be a Jesus Christ Superstar Album in the records...but no) after search a good 15 min, the wooden leaf bowl becomes my second green "free-be" and as i'm leaning down to get it, I am met eye to eye with this small Pyrex carafe. I snatch it, flip it over $0.99 MINE!
So tonight the lion sleeps, and the hunter sings at rehearsal!

I must say those green canisters are awesome. I think they look more 50's but of course I could be wrong. Love the little carafe...price can't be beat! Sometimes I get a 'feeling' I need to stop somewhere and when I do I find something awesome. Those thrifting gods are pretty cool don't ya think? Oh yeah and already a follower!
ReplyDeleteThe cannisters are perfect for your kitchen. Nice score Mick!
ReplyDeleteWow i envy those awesome canisters, and that serving plate is total 50s teak-inspired! Great finds!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the vibe that I get when I go into a thrift store...it's ie I have a 6th sense abut these things. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love that plate. I'll keep my eyes peel for that album for you, for sure.
ReplyDeleteGood find at Goodwill! I'm going to see if I can influence my dreams tonight! I'll find huge stashes of goodies at a yard sale on Saturday! I'll drag my dog along with me by his tail. Ah, I love good dreams!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THOSE GREEN CANISTERS!
ReplyDeleteAnd I believe I just threw out my original Jesus Christ Superstar album a month ago grrr! Would have sent it to you. I already have the whole thing memorized, and dang, Ted Neeley was such a hot jesus lol... Is that a sin?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finds!
You are the clairvoyant thrifter! Sometimes I'll be minding my own business at work or someplace and have a visual of some corner in some thrift store I frequent. I figured its my thrifty senses tingling! Good job on the followers too! You always keep us coming back for more :-P
ReplyDeleteI had very similar canisters style-wise(though they were aqua)in 1969. Believe it's time for me to hit the local 'thrift shop' to see if your vibes were sent to Dillsburg PA!
ReplyDeleteI love the green canisters! They would be great in my kitchen. The thrifting gods/pyrex god are smiling on you!
