Something tells me this is on the "Mayonnaise is spicy" end of the heat spectrum. #spicy #cookbooks #shiftythrifting #themeweek #faces #books #alphabetchallenge
Blue Lizard looks at a copy of Better Homes and Gardens' "Hot & Spicy Cooking." The cover has two men in western outfits. One man has his mouth wide open for a spoon full of chili. The other man is staring at him in utter disbelief. Next to them is a pot of chili and a small fan. The cover design suggests this was published in the early to mid-80s.

A photo of a soap dispenser that says ketchup ah yes i was looking for a soap dispenser labeled "ketchup" with a picture of grapes artenega I really want this bottle in my bathroom. I'd place it next to matching decorative soaps and towels as if it seems like it fits, but I'll actually fill the thing up with ketchup. So when I have guests over and they decide to use the bathroom, they will see this bottle and have a moment of cognitive dissonance, "This [Soap Bottle] in the [Bathroom] is labelled [Ketchup], so surely it must dispense [Soap] instead of [Ketchup] despite the label saying [Ketchup] right?" and then let them have a moment of realization followed by abject horror as they pump viscous ketchup all over their hands instead of soap Source: shiftythrifting

̶A̶l̶v̶i̶n̶ Simon! #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision #alvinandthechipmunks #shiftythrifting
Blue Lizard sits on the had of a four foot tall sculpture of Simon from Alvin and the Chipmunks. Based on his Hawaiian shirt, this was probably made to promote the "Chipwrecked" movie. Today, it's in a thrift store in Kansas City.

if there are other HCC cappers on bsky, do not look at this post. UnReality, please keep the secret of my identit(ies), tomorrow night.

h'okay. this is my 2025 stable of possible halloween ball capper costumes. i likes them.

(HCC is a kind of chatroom, & our ID graphics are very limited in space.)
a computer-ish blue background, with white letters reading "POOTY PARPER". originally a photo of a carved 'name badge' someone found in a big flea market box of pins and badges. A black background, with "LOL DED" printed in red and white spooky-ish letters, and a laughing skull in between. originally a photo of a tombstone-shaped scrapbooking sticker found by a user on the ShiftyThrifting discord. a tiny bit of a black background, with dark and light gray horizontal stripes covering it. at the rounded off right end is a simple face of beady eyes and a triangular smile. the word "sa-ca-bam-bas-pis" is printed over the stripes, alternating in grays and staggering by syllables.

This is adorable, I need her. 🥺 It's probably just some kind of incidental lawn ornament or something so this is a long shot, but does anyone happen to recognize this and have more info?

While binging the ShiftyThrifting Tumblr account in search for a particular shirt I came across a completely different one that just screamed Pizzazz to me. I couldn't decide which Pizzazz it suited more so I drew both.

kujo1597.tumblr.com/post/7849906...
A drawing done in coloured pencil of the two major versions of Pizzazz from Jem and The Holograms. On the left is the cartoon Pizzazz, and the right is the IDW Comics one. Cartoon Pizzazz has mone hand on her hip and is in a vaguely model-y pose. IDW Pizzazz has her hands in the pockets of her purple leather jacket. They are both wearing a bright pink shirt that says in block letters "YOU THINK I CARE ABOUT WHO DOESN'T LIKE ME? HELL, MY OWN FAMILY DOESN'T LIKE ME"

Oh my god. I looked at 284 pages of shirts on the ShiftyThrifting Tumblr account. It started off as a search for one shirt in particular and spiralled from there.

Never did find the shirt I was looking for. But that's okay. I found a ton of other ones to draw.

Sometimes, you can find some cool stuff at antique stores, and sometimes you wonder why some things were kept long enough to be sold. #michaeljackson #shiftythrifting #mannequin #vendingmachine #antiquing #airfreshener #travel
Blue Lizard sees an unopened hanging display of air fresheners. One side says "I (heart) Michael Jackson" while the other side has a drawing of the artist with his signature. The packaging has yellowed with time. Blue Lizard looks at a mannequin torso with a blue body, a shag blonde wig, and pasties with long tassels. Blue Lizard rests on a vending machine with a green lizard monster head. Its mouth is wide open, revealing four coin-operated candy dispensers. The bottom of the machine is labeled "MONSTOR."

Text post by reddit user u/amscurly in reply to user u/TheWalrusIsMe. The text reads: u/TheWalrusIsMe hello! I'm so excited to see this post while I was showing someone My Sons that I made a reddit account on the spot - I am the original photographer! I took these photos in 2015 at the Clinton Antique Center in Connecticut, and submitted the photos a little later to (I think the blog's name was) shiftythrifting on tumblr and they went viral. I did go back to buy the painting actually, but it was gone. I reached out to the owners to see if they remember who purchased it, or the name of the consignor, but no luck. My biggest regret is not buying it that day, or at least getting a full shot. You are correct that I only took these close-ups. I can tell you there was at least one other cat in the painting, iirc it was about 3' x 2' I'm an art historian as well, and so it is a little painful to know I have contributed to the constant mis-dating of these cats lmao as they are not medieval, probably early/mid 1900s. Just some perfect little freaks I saw once on a day out with my best friend.

It also features a black spider web pattern with lil spiders that also circles the waist and wrists. There are spiderwebs on the shoulders, and orange ribbon patterns on the arms.

🧵 of some blog highlights to give you an idea of what we're about!

Starting us off we have some faces I'm sure you've seen around the internet, but had no idea originated with us! First posted on the blog in 2016, these cats have been memed to hell and back! #shiftythrifting
Two photos of a painting of cats with oddly droopy humanoid faces. The first cat is a grey tabby whose depressed looking face seems to be melting off, the second is an orange tabby who looks extremely nonplussed, its humanoid eyes appearing to look right at the viewer.
