Red Letter Day Thrift Finds

Back by popular demand!  I'm not trying to flood the blog with vintage Care Bears but it would be a crime not to post about the gems we stumbbled across while thrift venturing yesterday evening.

Holly was the bread winner during this trip as she basically uncovered all the goods.   Such as these 2 Care Bear wall plaques.

It was a great day for vintage Care Bear stuff.  This would have cost us maybe more than $30 if we wanted to purchase ths stuff online but it was only $4-5.  I like finding things that you collect.
 
 
 
 
Tonka Toys released 'Pooch Patrol' in the early 90s; I remember them being pretty popular or maybe I just remember the commercial being aired alot.  Never knew anyone who actually owned one so maybe it was all hype.
 
And last but not least - this beautiful piece of Canadicana.
 
 
 The Canadian Tire 'Give Like Santa, Save Like Scrooge' commercials from the 1980s and 90s bring back a lot of Christmas memories as I'm sure it does for many Canadians.  Canadian Tire got rid of the advertsing due to it was not appealing to their company image anymore.  This bank rocks!

  2. You're right that Scrooge bank is a Canadian classic from the early 90s! But those commercials drove me nuts!,
