Two lousy sales. Fortunately I did stumble on one BIG BOX. One BIG BOX that held all of the above ornaments. I had no idea how many boxes were in the BIG BOX until I got it home and unpacked it.
One box of 12 ornaments and 20 sleeve boxes of 6 ornaments per box. All in the same shade of pink. I am glad I like pink. I am also glad I found that BIG BOX!
happy day!
*Thud*
I just fainted.

Hopefully tomorrow we hit the motherload! (o:

Unbelievable.
Did you find these at an abandoned Shiny Brite factory? If so, where is it? ;-)

Only you can find these Costco club sized vintage lots! And of course they are not the normal red...no no they are quintessential pink. Love every single one of them...smiles...Renee

Great find! That reminds me of one of my best finds. I was at GW it was about to close. A girl was working, bringing out carts of merchandise from the back. She asked me if I was looking for anything specific. I said "vintage". She brought out 2 cardboard boxes and said "I think these might be vintage" Those 2 cardboard boxes held 12 boxes of Shiny Brites. Total cost? $2.00! Good day indeed!

I am glad you found them, too, because you know how I worry when I see you write LOUSY in capital letters.

Hi Laurie, You know whenever you type lousy, I have to laugh! I picture one of your alter egos with glasses saying it.
OMG! Of course you love vintage because of your grandmother's scrapbook. It all makes perfect sense. I am soooo thankful for the grandmother you had!
LOVE this Lousy sale - holy pink ornaments! Have a great week! E
