My Top 10 things to find at a Thrift Store:
10. CoffeeMugs
9. Hangers
8. Gift Wrap, Bags and Cards (vintage is best!)
7. Books (I never buy a new book anymore!)
6. Vintage Clothing
5. 100% Wool Clothing (to felt and refashion)
4. Linens (to use or recycle into something new!)
3. Notions (elastic, zippers, buttons, thread)
2. Fabric
1. Patterns (of course!)
What are yours???

How wonderful that you can find all that in a thriftshop. I have to say: I hardly shop there. I want to and every now and then I go there and look around, but they never have patterns and fabric and the rest is minimal. Fun mugs by the way!
I love shopping for fabric and linens. Notions are always a delight, and I can't resist the odd sewing pattern.
I'm lucky to have a whole bunch of different Thrift Stores nearby. One always has a bag or two of notions at a ridiculously low price. I look for fabrics and cotton skirts that I can re-purpose to aprons! And, as you say, patterns (of course!)
I haven't been thrifting in so long. You're making me jealous. Those are all wonderful finds, I especially like the glassware.
Linens, vintage dishes (especially valuable flow blue!), and unusual stuff.
