More Vegas Finds

I finally have time to finish sharing my last trip to Vegas and some of the lovely things that I found.

Glass Bowl $1.99

I love these little press glass bowls. When I find one, I always imagine them being used for Thanksgiving dinner. I could see it filled with black olives (our family loves olives) sitting on a buffet.

It has a diamond shaped bowl. It makes me feel all fancy without all that bothersome sticker shock.

5 saucers $1.49; 4 dessert plates $1.49

I found saucers and dessert plates to match my cups and cream and sugar set I bought a little ways back. It is perfect because I have 5 cups and I found 5 saucers. What are the chances?

Front

Back

Creamer $2.99

I loved the delicate trees on the front and back of this creamer. It is from the Misty Isle Collection by Noritake. I am pretty sure it is not that old but it doesn't matter because I like it.

Eiffel Tower $1.99

This little beauty shall join my collection. I think it will end up on top of my armoire with another tower that I have there. Did I mention that I have a collection of 30+ towers? No, well I do. : )

Creamer and Sugar Bowl $2.99 each

I really don't know who made these but I thought the color was pretty. It is hard to see in the picture but it is brown with a light green glaze over the top. There was a set of cups and saucers that went with it but I really didn't have room for them and they were a tad expensive. I had guilt for a minute that I was splitting up the family but I soon got over it. I guess I am just a little homewrecker.

Book $2.99

I love to mix cocktails and after this school year I will definitely be trying some of these recipes. Heck, I may have to have one tonight. Is it summer yet?

I have spied a few new shops here in town. When I get time, I am going to go and investigate.

Happy Thrifting Everyone!!!

I Couldn't Wait

I just couldn't wait to show you what I found this week.

$2.92

I thought this gravy boat was beautiful. I am not sure what kind of flower is on the front but I just love it. And at $2.92 (what an odd price) I couldn't pass it up.

.90 cents

I guess it is official. I have a collection. A collection of creamers. My oh my! This stoneware creamer is made in Japan and is from the Moutain Wood Collection. I will have to reaserch and see what I can find out about it.

$4.20

I first came across the creamer and sugar bowl when I walked into the RAD Thrift Store. It totally reminded me of being a kid in the seventies. We would go to visit friends and relatives and they would always have a sugar bowl on the kitchen table. I found the cups later in, where else, the coffee cup section. : ) All I need is a retro coffee pot. Maybe a percolator.

I definitely have more to share.

Happy Thrifting Everyone!

The Cream(ers) Of The Crop

I am not sure how I got on this latest kick of buying creamers. I have seen a lot of them while out and about and I just decided to buy them. It doesn't hurt that they are not that expensive and I really like the shapes and colors of them. I am not sure if this is a collection that I will keep adding to. I will see what the thrift stores have to offer and what my fancy decides.

.90 cents

I just fell in love with this little creamer. It says Yellowstone Park and you gotta love that the little bears are warming their hands over a campfire. Too cute!

$1.00

I bought this at one of our local Goodwills. It is Pyrex and it matches a few of the bowls I already have. They had the matching plates. They were a bit too much for my budget. But, I will keep checking to see if they eventually come down in price so I can add them to this cute little pitcher.

$1.00

This is a Mikasa creamer. I tried to find out which pattern it is a part of but no luck. I thought the blue was really pretty and I love the s-shaped handle.

Last but not least...

$1.00

I got this little beauty on a thrifting trip with my sister. She and her husband just moved back to California from Arkansas. She cracked me up because she was amazed that our thrift stores were open on a Sunday. This tells me that I do not want to live in Arkansas anytime soon if the thrift stores aren't open on Sunday. 

I still have more to share so stay tuned....

Happy Thrifting!!!
