One man's trash is another.......

I hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th holiday. It feels a lot like fall around here with temps in the 70's during the day and low 50's at night.

I've been quiet for a few days. Okay, more like a week or so. There are those out there who cannot believe that I'm quiet. LOL I have some personal stuff going on and I have chosen to be mum about it on here. However you can email me, if you like.

Now onto some fun............

We decided to go on an "adventure." Our church has a thrift shop that is open every Wednesday. The proceeds go into a community mission to help those in need locally.


I found some nice goodies today at the thrift shop. I love this small bowl and it was only $1.00. Looks lovely on my antique cookstove.



My grandmother had a set of dishes with this very design so of course I had to buy it. It had a $2.00 price tag so cha-ching, it's mine.










I fell in love with this candy dish. Look at the sculpted flowers. Aren't they gorgeous? There's a small chip on the pink rose but that didn't stop me from the $1.50 purchase price. The stamp on the bottom says Italy.

I just can't stop admiring this dish. The colors are beautiful and ya'll know I like color:).








Then this little bone china tea cup from England was screaming to come home with me. The price? 75 cents. The stamp on the bottom says Salisbury with a handpainted gold number.



Anita mentioned making a dusting cloth thingy. We found the pattern and now Chan is in on the action. Feel free to join us to make a re-usable dusting thingy (it fits on those swiffer/biffer handles).

It's a crochet project and I have to make something to dust my new finds. These goodies are HIGH above Mr. Bettis & Co. Now about those cats..................
