Red is Best!

I'm thrilled that I can finally post for Rednesday! I've gathered together a selection of super red thrifty finds.

Here are this week's Red Thrifty Finds!
Let's take a closer look...


It's not Rednesday without a Vintage Santa Blow Mold~ this one is marked Royal Toy Toronto Canada

Lots of thrifty bloggers have been posting about Gurley candles lately~ these aren't marked but for 50 cents a piece who cares! 



Vintage Pyrex Platter with the Red Laurel pattern. Great vintage condition priced right at $2.99.


Made in Korea vintage Santa ornaments. These will look great on my feather Christmas tree.


 Vintage apron ~ "Women's Work is Never Done" ain't that the truth!!
Frank Vetere's Pizzeria Coca Cola glasses! Now I have a set of 4. This was my favourite pizza place in the 80s~  Do you remember Frank Vetere's? 
Vintage stuffed Santa Claus with his original price tag from the Bay! It was marked on sale for $2.50. I paid $2.99 from Value Village.


Mini red heart candle Holders with candles made by Funny - Leuchter of W Germany. Perfect for Christmas and Valentine's day!


Linking up with Sue at It's A Very Cherry World!

Until we thrift again...

  3. Great red finds for Christmas decorating. Vintage is always best in my book. I'm looking out for red plaid lunch boxes.

  4. I love the facial expression of the Santa in the middle of the trio of Santa's, it's amazing.

    HAHAHA. I feel like a housewife sometimes & would totally wear that apron around the house. When I read it, I thought exactly what you wrote - EXACTLY - "ain't that the truth."

    I bought a red plain lunchbox once from the '70s (?). Was wheeled out on the cart at Goodwill & nearly took a ladies head off because someone pushed me when I was grabbing it.
