Summer Thrifting

Here are some thrift scores that I've been meaning to share for some time. Most of these were purchased over a month ago, before and whilst I was on vacation.

Groovy retro-atomic glass, maker unknown:



A solid glass juicer, I've been coveting one of these for quite awhile!



I was *SO* excited over this next find...a flawless, lazy-susan appetizer caddy! My inner Donna Reed heart skipped a little beat when I found this. $4.99!



And...the piece de resistance...drum roll please...



A *FULL* set of Pyrex refrigerator dishes in the Butterprint pattern. My prrrreeeeeecious! I found these in an amazing vintage shop in Saratoga, New York. So much vintage goodness, it could make you weep. (And I almost did, when I made myself walk out of there with only two purchases!)

It's a little gross how excited I get about vintage dishes, isn't it?

I'll have more to show soon (clothing for once) - plus I'm thrifting with Abbie this weekend, wahoo!

Vintage Glass Mystery

Let's talk about less heavy topics today, shall we?

I've been zooming around the internet lately trying to solve a vintage mystery. I picked up the glassware below at Goodwill a few days ago. The decals are in good shape and fairly distinctive, so I thought I would have no problem identifying who manufactured them with a quick internet search. Boy was I wrong about that! I can't seem to find anything about this set!



I have one decanter/carafe, five juice glasses and three stumpy little glasses that kind of look like oversized egg cups. The motif is gold and white and features stars, eagles, a cannon, a covered wagon, the Liberty Bell, a spinning wheel and a large ship among various other Americana. My best guess is that it was a collection released for the bicentennial, but aside from the obvious American history references I don't have any proof to back that up. The bottom of the carafe is marked "5" on one side and "6" on the other.



Does any one have any guesses? Now I'm just curious!

Oh P.S. I got all nine pieces for $4.99, yippee!
