nothing quite like learning the plates i've eaten off of since i was born (and that mother ate off of as a child in the 1960s) are both valuable vintage collectors pieces now and also absolutely chock full of fucking lead.

ah yes my family who never let go of the generational trauma of being dirt poor farmers in the great depression holding onto cheap mass produced dishware since it never broke, and now we're two generations deep absolutely pumped full of lead. no wonder my brother and i are so fucked up lmao. i mean, my mom being irradiated in the 70s probably didn't help either.

#and both grandfathers were military postWWII and Korean War #no idea where either of them were actually stationed tho bc its one of the many Things We Dont Talk About #i do not know a single fact about my dads dad other than he was short bc he used to look at hot tall ladies and say #'shes well worth the climb' same grandpa same #other grandpa would randomly tell us Cold War Era stories that I think are probably classified #i mean i definitely felt like i shouldn't know about it #anyways I actually still use the plates bc my mom gave me a set for my first apartment #anyone have recommendations on dishware that isn't super fragile?#plates #vintage housewares #vintage dishes #retro kitchen #advice please

Strange glass cat that was found outside a pawn shop where we found a juicer I remember from TV ads, and a mass DVD writer.

And a big old camcorder I did buy.

Gold and Silver Pawn and Value Village in Red Deer, AB.

To my fellow thrifters: I'll occasionally post an Info Box with snippets of information you can use to spot the gems at an estate sale, yard sale, flea market, or thrift shop each week.

If you want me to research certain items, let me know in the comments, and I'll get on it. Thank you!

Bellas Hess & Co. was a department store located on Broadway and Prince St in New York City, NY. The store was founded in the mid-19th century and was known for its wide range of products, including clothing, housewares, and other goods.

One of the ways in which Bellas Hess & Co. marketed its products was through its catalogues. These catalogues were essentially thick books that were filled with pictures and descriptions of the various items that the store had for sale. Customers could order items directly from the catalogue and have them shipped to their homes.

Bellas Hess & Co. produced catalogues on a regular basis, with each new edition featuring the latest products and styles. These catalogues were highly anticipated by customers and were often kept as reference materials for future purchases.

Today, Bellas Hess & Co. is remembered as one of the most iconic department stores of its time. While the store is no longer in business, its catalogues provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of retail during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of these catalogues have become collectors' items and are prized by those interested in fashion, design, and cultural history.

it's easier for me to keep kosher by keeping pareve so i could safely live with a vegetarian or pescatarian but NOT a lacto-ovo vegetarian bc NO to real dairy and likely no to vegans because i actually DO eat eggs and fish as well as real meat, shabbes/yontif only (+ leftovers) but that's still not never ever & so THEY may have a problem with THAT...

#it's easier to just keep my own kitchen lol #this is mostly bc like. i simply don't trust eg craigslist roommates not to use my kitchen stuff #so it becomes about what kind of fuckups i could tolerate and not all of my kitchen stuff can actually be kashered lol #so like if someone uses my pyrex bowls for dairy i just simply can't make them pareve again afaict and like #since so many of my #housewares #are vintage they're actually irreplaceable (as it's nigh-impossible to get them in an unused/kosher condition to begin with)
