Thrift Store Haul. $15.50

last week-end, my mother and i were getting a few errands done in my neighbourhood, when we noticed that the goodwill that opened up a few months ago was actually open on a saturday. we attempted to simply duck in and check things out, seeing as i had brought bags of clothing to donate and had intended on leaving them on the step, anyway.

to our surprise, everything in the store was marked at 50% off for the day. we tried to leave three times but something caught my eye each time and we rounded back into the shop and back to the cash. together, we spent $15.50 and got a gracy boat and dish, a roots mesenger bag, a nike top for 
my son's upcoming boxing lessons, and, the pièces de resistance, were these eleven (i know. i guess one of them broke somewhere on the way to the store), blue glass goblets:



for some time now, i've been thinking about collection mixed, vintage, glass dishes, thanks to this photo (i've had it for so long i don't recall where i found it so please excuse the lack of photo credit).


thanks to it, i'd been thinking that i would like to hunt down pieces in different shades of pink and purple but these glasses have steered me in another direction and blue and, perhaps, green they shall now be!

i also scored some sewing notions and buttons:


this crucifix to add to my collection of religious iconography:





a roll of this green fabric i photographed the other items on, whose fibers are unknown to me. notice the yellow flecks throughout:





for a chance to score incredibly cheap, vintage and/or useful finds, check out "deuxième vie" at 6030 rue monk, in ville-émard.
