Goodwill Friday


Picked up some junk at the thrifts today. Books, a milk jug and a photo.

I love this photo. The boots kill me, I have almost the same ones. The old van. The cardboard & sharpie Merry Xmas sign and HAPPY something, that rad tweed coat with chunky sweater...vendors sold papers on the streets? What's so funny? Looks like a shushie Christmas - we don't get a lot of white Christmases in Toronto, do we? The paper only cost 75 cents. It is signed Jean Gordon. I want to fix the horizon for Jean. Did it bug her? This wasn't that long ago. What year would you give it?

  1. Very cool photo. I have the same milk jug, but it's currently in the donation pile. Let me know if you want a second one for a pair.

  2. Get lost!!! It's such a cute jug!
    So you know where it is from?

    I have some buttercups that were growing in my clover yard in the jug right now...it's very hipster :)

  3. I feel you about the window situation, but I think I can top it - when we replaced my building's windows last year they delivered the 6ft wide living room windows frosted. Of course the error wasn't discovered until the old windows were removed, so I couldn't see out my living room for 3 weeks. Hope the fix of yours is shorter :)

  4. It says portugal on the bottom!

    You should keep it and use it as a hostess gift sometime....buy some flowers and put them in and wrap it up that way...very pretty! I love giving people vintage!

  6. It seems impossible to avoid these challenges in a reno...even a well thought out one like yours. Thanks for the great pics & posts-I'm sure it will be amazing when done! As for chandelier, I agree, I think it should be centred on bed.
