Pyrex and Minions and Snoopy Oh My

I only found three things today. I also found the owner of the car keys I posted about last week. It was a guy who works for a trucking company and the keys fell out of his pocket as he was getting into his truck.

The bottom of this Pyrex dish reads Pyrex General Mills Inc Minneapolis Minn. I believe it is the mixing bowl to an electric mixer.

I had to get the minion clock because it's so cute. Lights flash around it.

I'm hoping someone buys this Baby Snoppy crib set. It comes with a sheet, bumpers and a blanket. It's listed on ebay if anyone is interested.

Lost Keys

Yesterday, I was walking through an empty lot and found a set of keys. I figured since they had a snapfitness card attached, the owner would be easy to find.

But I was wrong. I called the number on the card. The guy who answered said they did not use those type of cards at their location. He was very puzzled. I asked if he could somehow do a search with the coded number. He told me the card belonged to a snapfitness in Minnesota and the name was Alexandra Smith. He gave me an email to the center.

I sent an email to that snapfitness but they came up empty handed. I posted the keys in a local FB garage sale group and even created a Facebook group for lost and found items in my area.

I found 2 Alexandras on fb but neither responded to my message

So if you are reading this, Alexandra, and have lost your keys, I have them and would really like to get them back to you.

A Tale Of Two Train Tables

About 2 weeks ago, I found a small train table at Goodwill. It came with some tracks, trees, people, buildings, signs and a car. I bought it for Ryker

Last Friday, I went to a different Goodwill and found a bigger table with storage containers underneath. My sister tried to talk me out of buying it. She had a good point: Ryker already had one and does he even play with the one he has?

I decided to buy the bigger table. I could always sell the smaller one on Facebook. I did have a buyer yesterday, but later in the day he decided to change his mind. Hopefully, I can sell it soon.

Have you ever bought something only to find something better a few days or weeks later? Did you buy the better one?

Pyrex, Fire King and A Cool Find

I found a couple pieces of cheap Pyrex this week at the thrift store. I was surprised and so was the cashier. She wondered how these pieces got past the volunteer who prices anything vintage high.

These pink casserole pans are faded but I like them anyways.

I hardly ever find any Pyrex with a lid but this week I found two pieces, a red bowl and a blue casserole dish.

My sister found these coffee mugs. I asked her what brand they were. Because they are wrapped in a rubber/vinyl coating, the manufacturers stamp was hard to read. Research shows they are Glamalite Fire King Mugs.

I'm going to use this lunch box as a purse. I'm not sure why I was drawn to it, maybe because I remember my dad had a black one and my uncle had a silver one.

Goodwill Finds

I went to Goodwill with Robbie on Saturday. I didn't get much but it was pretty pricey. In fact, I was surprised the Pyrex dish was my cheapest item. They had another bigger bowl, different color and pattern but they wanted $16.99 for it.

The leapster with games was for Ryker and I got Robbie a computer that isn't shown.

The resale value on the Wiggles car has dropped slightly over the past few years but if you can find them under a few dollars, they are worth picking up.

The Paddington bear blanket is from 1997. I couldn't find any like it on ebay.

I don't know if the short stem Happy Apple is worth more than the long stem one but I love vintage Fisher Price toys. I'm keeping the Pyrex dish.

If you see something you like, check out my eBay store as it is listed there.

50% Off Sale

The thrift store by my house has been running a 50% off sale. I went Monday and yesterday but didn't find much. Most of their Christmas stuff was gone and the stand I wanted was in someone's cart.

I normally don't pick up troll dolls but these were marked Dam and I read they are good sellers. I guess I shall see. These are from 1986 though.

I got this car hauler and bag of cars for ryker. Most of their toys were gone.

I got this picture for my kitchen. It fell off the wall last night but luckily it didn't break.

This New Jersey Devils jacket I'm selling on ebay. I have good luck selling the Starter jackets and I hope this sells quickly.

This desk I picked up on Friday with my sister for Robbie. It's from the Bassett company and is well made.

DIY Vintage Christmas Wreath

I really wanted a vintage Christmas wreath, except I couldn't afford to spend $100+ on Ebay or Etsy. I decided to make one myself. It cost less than $10 and came out ok.

I'm far from a DIY type of person so I was hesitant to make one but it was actually easier than I thought. All I needed was a wreath, some ornaments, lights, and hot glue.

I found a wreath at the thrift store that already had lights. I also found a Santa, some ornaments, and snowflakes.

The drummer, elf and the two wooden Santa's I already had. All I had to do was glue everything in place.

I didn't take into account where the plug was located. I should have glued the decorations so that the plug was on the bottom and not the top. The hot glue also melted some of the snowflakes.

It's hanging inside my kitchen door.
