Last weekend I dropped off three pairs of shoes at my lady cobbler in Kensington Market (she’s great by the way. Great turnaround times, affordable, salvaged a pair of boots I thought were dunzo). Since it was Saturday and it was open, we paid a trip to Sasmart, which I actually hadn’t been to since I bought Dave a pasta maker over five years ago.

Spring time gives me the thrifting bug (but hopefully not bed bugs) because there are so many garage sales, flea markets, etc. so I kinda went berserk and grabbed a bunch of stuff I totally didn’t need. Luckily Sasmart is awesomely cheap: I spent a grand total of $8.

From the top: set of three yellow kitchen containers, I assume are for flour and sugar and . . . ? Set for $4; Japanese-made “fondue plates”. Not sure what a fondue plate is, but I figure we can do some sort of bento-box/TV-dinner mashup at some point. I couldn’t resist the colours. Plus! Two for $1!; Silver plated napkin holder, before and after cleaning with toothpaste. Yes! You can clean silver tarnish with toothpaste! I cut myself on a sharp edge though. $2.
