The decorations are still up.
I haven't wanted to brave the elements to take them down.
The roses are still blooming in this weather.
The stone pines are covered in a heavy layer of snow.
Snow on the porch tree.
Santa looks freaky covered in snow.
I haven't gone thrifting in months. I just don't have room for more stuff. But I went the other day looking for things to turn into cake pedestals. I hit the jackpot. I found 4 of these pink depression glass plates for 59 cents each.
I got this cute little casserole for 25 cents.
This divided relish dish was 49 cents.
These gold trimmed plates with roses were 39 cents each.
This reticulated plate was 39 cents.
I have a set of these bowls in yellow. This clear one was 99 cents.
This whole box full of glass pedestals and plates was 13.00.
I received a most wonderful surprise in the mail today from my blog buddy in Quebec. She tumbles stones and make jewelry from them. Aren't these beautiful? She made me runes.
She made me two sets.
Look at this stone.
It shines like a jewel.
I think the best presents are handmade.
I love these gifts. Thanks so much LuLu!!!!

Fantastic that roses still are in bloom in Your garden! here they are long gone :-) Over here we say that Christmas lasts until January 13:th. Then we have something we call tree robbing. If not before, then the tree is dressed with candy that children then robbes from the tree :-)
Have a great day now!

My mother had runes. I kept one that I carry with me. The rest went into the ocean with her ashes.
I used to collect depression glass when I had a real house. Ruby. Had service for 8. *sigh*
I had to gasp - PINK GLASS !!!!
I've been collecting pink glass for well on 30 years and with mum's glass have over 150 pieces - your pattern (I think) is Sandwich by Indiana - of course I really should move my rear and get my book off the shelf to confirm that - nice find!
It's not quite Sandwich by Indiana, but if you are interested, I can investigate a bit more when I get home tonight...
Nice find ! What beautiful dishes. ;) I look forward seeing what you'll come uo with them, ;)
All the Santas look like they got a whipcream pie in the face! I haven't taken down my outdoor decorations yet either. But the snow is melting here now - so soon....
So jealous!
What lovely finds!! Seeing those depression glass plates makes me think of my Grammie who had multiple full sets in different colors and patterns, and how I loved just studying them when the sunlight came through her china cabinets. .I have a very small collection of dessert plates and sherberts, and believe me, you got a super bargain!!
And what a super special gift!! Those Runes are awesome! I'm sure that they warmed your heart when you saw what you had received.
High Five on the treasures you found not only in the mail but also at the thrift store!
I'm astounded by all your beautiful finds at the thrift shop. Truly beautiful stuff in that $13 box.
And those runes! Beautiful!
