A Girl Named Timi

It's A Thriftorama!

WOW! I have been busy!!! I have discovered so many fantastic finds over the last couple months that it was starting to get out of hand in the garage and extra bedrooms. In addition to this, over the past few weeks my parents have been cleaning too. They decided to remodel their entire house after 35 years. I'm so excited for them but at the same time they have been cleaning and unloading on me and my brother. Unfortunately I didn't get my mothers sentimental genetic make up. I hauled it all home and now need to find it new homes. So between my parents cleaning and my obsessive junking I am buried in stuff! The Hubs wants his garage back and I can't get to the ironing board in the extra bedroom.
Since getting home from Pacific Beach I have been working on liquidating some of my fantastic finds. This week I have been listing stuff on EBay but it hasn't even put a dent in my "need to sell" pile.
Sooooooooooooooo with the hopes of helping me get a little a head of my "need to sell" pile, in this posting I'm sharing with all my bloggin buddies the fantastic finds before they head to the antique dealers, EBay or Craigslist.

From my mothers............


Vintage goose dishes. I have two serving bowls, 1 dinner plate and 8 salad plates. These were in boxes of stuff from my first apartment that I had forgotten all about. I had the whole country thing goin on! It was so dang cute! $30



This is a complete set of Fitz and Floyd Betty Quacker. 15 pieces. Some of the pieces are rare. I had to special order them when I was collecting them back in the 80's. When I was collecting this stuff I was making $3.85 an hour ( part time) at JCPenny and lived in a $125 a month apartment. I couldn't afford to eat or pay my electric bill but DAMN my little kitchen was cute!

Included in the set is a cookie jar, cracker tray, scrubber pad holder, recipe holder, paper towel holder, covered butter dish, covered cheese dish, napkin holder, spoon rest, utensil holder, cookbook ends, and salt and peppers. I also have an extra cookie jar bottom and all the pieces to her broken little head. The book ends and salt and peppers are not in excellent mint condition. One of the bookends and one of the salt and pepper have been glued.
I'm not even sure where to start on the pricing for this. I saw the cookie jar 1 time on eBay and it went for $75. I have never seen any of the other pieces. If your interested or have any information on suggested value PLEASE contact me.

This is still the cutest little kitchen set. I just love it.

Now for some of my recent fantastic finds.......................
