A Thrifting Bonanza

I almost got jumped in the checkout line at the thrift store yesterday. It was all because of this tea cup. A tea cup collector caught sight of this in my cart and just lost it. She grabbed it out of the cart and started squealing. I don't frighten easily but this was a bit weird. I don't know much about tea cups but apparently this was quite a steal for 1.95. I guess I should have let her have it but I was so startled I wasn't thinking clearly. Thrift shop checkouts can be scary places.

It is awfully cute though.





This silver pierced Sheffield platter was 1.00. I didn't even have to polish it.


This silver Rogers platter was also 1.00.


These two crocheted doilies are perfect for Valentine's Day. 1.29


A set of 7 crocheted doilies for 2.49.


This table runner is embroidered in red and looks like a German piece to me.



This will be a future giveaway. These are brand new covered soup bowls in individual baskets with two oval servers. Perfect for chili and chips or for soup and crackers.


I found two of these.


The embroidery is wonderful and one has a pink crocheted edge.


A nice footed pressed glass bowl. 1.29


Another leaf plate.


Four relish dished which could be used for banana splits. Does anyone eat banana splits anymore?


A nice leaf plate. These would look so nice used together on a harvest buffet table.


Thank god the tea lady didn't see this or I might not have survived the check out. It was 1.25.


This bowl looked horrible when I picked it up in the store. It cost 1.00.


It sure looks better after going through the dishwasher.


Teddy is watching me return from the thrift store.


Oh no mama....not more glass.


Don't they sell anything there that I can eat?


Harumff.....am I going to have to move to make room for more glass?



Between cleaning glass, I found time to make some pies.


This is a blueberry pie.


This is a pie made from the peaches I canned last summer and some blackberries.


I made some little individual ones for my kids.


And I made one apple pie too.


A beautiful pressed glass platter. 1.00



Teddy looks like she is ready to run away from home. She doesn't like thrift shopping. There is nothing in it for her.



Another divided platter.


And a spare sugar bowl.


When combined make a nice platter for veggies and dip.


I love this one.


This is oval shaped and very nice.



This is an interesting platter because it is raised in the middle.


I found this milk glass compote...


I like them paired up with each other.


Another nice bowl.
