The Gatineau Village des Valeurs is, oddly, a good source of vintage British Columbiana, including this seasonal offering today. Taking its place in my painstakingly assembled set of Sound Heritage, including @djduffy.bsky.social's "Imagine Please" #cdnhist #bchist #ThriftingThursday (a day early)
#ThriftingThursday find (yesterday...): A copy of then-future, now-former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien's 1985 memoir, "Dans la fosse aux lions," inscribed not only by the author but also be two of his brothers and his sister-in-law, apparently to family friends. #cdnhist #cdnpoli
Is #thriftingthursday a thing? If not, it should be! 😆
Join me as I hunt for #books at Goodwill— I’m always looking for good deals on #literaryfiction, classics, and even the occasional horror novel! 👻

Ink and watercolour caricatures of Louis St-Laurent, John Diefenbaker, Lester B. Pearson, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, John Turner, Brian Mulroney, Joe Clark, Jean Chretien, Kim Campbell, Paul Martin, and Stephen Harper in celebratory garb under a plaque that reads "1948-2008". Inscribed "To Polly and Charles, Congratulations! Gundy & Rusins"
#ThriftingThursday find, and it's a timely one: caricatures of 11 Cdn PMs (1948-2008) drawn by former @ottawacitizen.com cartoonist Rusins Kaufmanis for Polly and (former Citizen ed) Charles King for their 60th anniversary. I esp love Dief's hat and Martin in sailor garb! #cdnhist #cdnpoli
I also #thrifted this Cheer Bear figurine. I couldn’t wait for #VintageToyTuesday so #ThriftingThursday it is! 💖✨💖
