I bought more than my usual pittance at the thrift store last week. I only had a twenty with me and knew the clerks would go into a panic trying to break it so I added a couple things I might have otherwise left behind. A sort of neat, sort of odd, cloth Cheshire Cat. A Disney Easter-themed tin box, and next to that a colorful pottery mug that is signed on the bottom, but so far, I haven't found this potter. The girl figurine was made in Norway.
I seldom find vintage cards at thrift stores but did luck into some that day. These, obviously, are wedding cards.
A couple "thinking of you" and get well cards,
Even the interiors were cuter back then.
I also carried home a 1968, double Barbie case in good condition. None of my Barbie cases survived. Sort of fell apart on me. This one is pretty.
And inside, the former owner left behind a few accessories.
By the way, the clerks still couldn't break my twenty! I had to go to the post office, where I handed the clerk a twenty for a 70 cent stamp. Luckily he knows me, and we joked about it. Then I trotted back to the thrift store with acceptable currency.
Have a good, small bill day!
Great Barbie case! On my way to hit some sales - good luck today if you do the same.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - finding vintage cards at the thrifts is a rare event!! They're so much nicer than the cards now!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Barbie case - are you going to fill it up? I have the little round case too!!!
Great fines. I can't imagine that somebody selling things like this wouldn't have change. I guess they expect you to say" keep the change."
ReplyDeleteI love those cards...I especially love that Chessire Cat in the back!
ReplyDeleteVintage cards are so neat. Isn't it amazing to some some unused all these years later? I like the Chesire Cat too. I have a plush that looks like the Disney movie; I should set them together. Thanks for commenting!
DeleteThe Barbie trunk is a real find! Something everyone that loves dolls would LOVE to find! I remember, mine was black. But it wouldn't matter...if I found one, I would get it! heehee! You did GOOD! Enjoy your weekend my friend! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI Love the Cheshire Cat . . . what an odd and wonderful find:)
