Hello friends!
Happy Friday morning to you.
If you know me, then you know I love to go treasure hunting. I haven't done much of that lately and I have tried to cut way back on my trips to the thrifts to keep from finding so many treasures. But, every now and then, I just need to go and look around. Sometimes I don't find anything at all and sometimes I find a few really sweet things to bring home. Such was the case on New Year's Eve when the hubby and I went to Gainesville for the day. I had to stop by Goodwill since we were so close and I am glad I did.
Look what I found.....
Look what I found.....
These pretty votives were such a pretty color. I liked the square shape and the quilted look.
They were only $0.99 each, so into my cart they hopped! They will be used in my tablescapes.
These gorgeous crystal champagne glasses could not be passed up. I knew they were crystal before I ever clinked them together. There were five of them, but I only bought four. Did I need them? Absolutely not...and I may end up selling them, but, at just $0.99 each I had to purchase them. Look at this set of six on Etsy...$50. They are the exact same ones I bought!
They are beautiful glasses!
I kind of fell in love with this dish. I don't decorate much for St. Patrick's Day, but I do put out a few odds and ends, and this dish with the Irish blessing had to come home with me.
I love the Celtic braid on the side of the dish.
I love the blessing as well. This dish is about 8 inches in diameter. It is in perfect condition and cost just $1.99.
Now for my favorite find!
You might be wondering what it is?
I wondered the same thing and I thought it might be a butter dish since it has a sweet little cow on top and the bottom part looks like a churn.
Based on my research, I was correct.
You may remember my two butter bells and cow shaped creamers. I have a white iron stone and dairy theme going in my kitchen and this fits the bill for both! It is in perfect condition and cost just $1.99.
The bottom is marked Calif USA. I am tickled pink with this sweet find!
So, have you been thrifting lately? If so, what did you find?
I hope to be back soon with a few pictures of my white dairy themed collection. I am planning to give my kitchen a good cleaning out tomorrow and will be rearranging a bit as well. I'll snap a few pictures when I finish.
Until next time....
The butter dish is my favorite. The champagne flutes - a steal! It is hard to resist the thrifts this time of year when everyone is donating up a storm. We are having another rain-filled weekend so that may prevent me from shopping. But not much!
ReplyDeleteI love all those finds Vicky! I totally would have bought that little cow butter dish. I have a collection of cow creamers and a couple of cow heads/busts! I have not been thrifting in a little while but I was thinking about going out today.

Oh Vicky, you always, always, always find the best items at thrift stores! I am in love with your pretty glasses and St. Patrick's Day dish :) I was in town today and thought about swinging by the thrift store, but decided not to....now after seeing your pretties I wish I would have :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, my friend!
P.S. -I really like the word your chose for this year!
You're so lucky to be able to find such pretty things. Lately, if I find anything, it's seems to be practical things.....a Packer football shirt for hubby, a small storage container for my scrap booking supplies.
ReplyDeleteYou sure found some fun treasures. Aren't you glad you stopped in? I have 6 champagne glasses that look exactly like yours; think I've had them for at least 30 years. Great find!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely finds. Those champagne glasses were a great deal, and I love the butter dish. I found some things before Christmas, but I still have to get them posted. Hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteI love that little butter dish! Cute and white? That makes two reasons for it to be perfect! Happy New Year! And good luck with the kids on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI think the celtic dish is my favorite although I do love your crystal. Great thrift finds Vicky. Hope you are having a great weekend!
