Thrift Haul and A Giveaway!

***CLOSED***
Lets start with the most fun part first - the giveaway!  My blog will be 1 year old August 22nd!  I wouldn't have stuck to it for so long had it not been for this awesome community we have here, so this is my way of saying thank you for all the support.  I'll fill a small-ish box with various fabulous goodies.  Could be some postcards, salt and pepper shakers, and maybe even a piece of Pyrex.  Whatever I can find that is worthy of my blog friends could be in that box.  So, are you ready to enter?!  I was going to do one of those raffle copter things, but that is way to complicated for me.  Soooo...
To enter:
1.  Follow me on Bloglovin with the button conveniently located to the right.
2.  Follow me on Instagram - come on guys, I need more pictures to look at!
3.  Follow me via email using the box on the right.
4.  Follow me on Etsy - easy access is to the left and right! 
5.  Favorite my shop on Etsy.
6.  Leave a comment on this post.
If you already do any of those things, let me know in the comments because they will still count towards your entries.  So there you have it, 6 different easy ways to enter in this giveaway!  On August 22nd I'll use a random number generator to pick a winner.   Oh, and this is open to non-US residents too!

Now on to the hodge podge of goods!

I didn't have another good Pyrex score like last week, but this graduated cylinder is made by Pyrex.  It's pretty cool and probably going to stay with me.  My other neat science-y find is this slide kit, complete with scalpel and neat pokie thing. 
Two cute tin recipe boxes.  Both will be listed on Etsy soon.  
Happy little hippo planter.
This paper cutter is a bit rough looking, but it cuts like a hot knife through butta!  
My only Christmas find this week.  It has a bit of a chip, but I've never seen one like this so I had to get it.  
Another Made in Japan item, this little Lefton wall hanging/vase is so sweet it hurts!   She'll be listed on Etsy soon too.
I drilled some holes in the bottom of this hand painted pot and added a plant The Grandma gave me for my birthday.  It reminds of the ceramic stuff Jamie has been doing at Owl Really.
Something about a good tiki face always gets me.  This doesn't have a makers mark but it's awfully heavy and looks old to me, though I'm not sure.  Does anyone know anything about this dude?
And last but not least, I found this Pyrex Georges Briard beverage server.   This thing is so cool, but I don't know much about it.  After a bit of research, it will be listed on Etsy.

Have a great week everyone and don't forget to enter for the giveaway!

  2. Congrats on your blogiversary! You got some cool find this week-I especially love that Georges Briard server! Phillip knows a lot about tiki stuff and he said that the glass is modern. We've actually had great luck with tikis in our antique space-vintage or modern-it all sells eventually!

    I'm already following you on Bloglovin' and I just started following you on Etsy and Instagram!

  6. Woo-hoo- a give away! thanks for a chance to win.

    I didn't know you were so new to blogging. I started in 08 and one of the reasons I started was because of give aways! There were so many back then. Ah, the good ole days. ;)

    I'd love a big paper cutter like that but I remember them scaring me to death when I was a kid!

    PS I follow through blog lovin.

  14. I have a couple of those clear tiki glasses. They used to serve Pina Coladas or Mai Tais in them in the Bar at the Polynesian Hotel at Disneyworld. This was back in the late 70s early 80s and you got to keep the glass.

  16. What IS IT about vintage paper cutters? I love them so much that I've bought one every time I've found it. And a person doesn't really need more than one! Love yours!
