I didn't actually find anything over the weekend since it was Easter weekend, but I did head out on Monday and found a few things. Most of the shops are picked over right now and I'm not seeing much, plus I'm noticing a lot higher prices and many items are now above my limit. One store is even switching tags on sale days:( I'm tempted to take pictures before and after and confront them. I waited weeks for an item with a white tag to go on sale, went in to find that item gone and figured it sold, oh well. I went back a day later and it was back on the shelf with another color tag on it. Not cool.
Anyhow, rant over, time for the show and tell:)
First up is this awesome retro condiment server. I think this is genius and can see it's usefulness in a family like mine. I gave $4 for it and don't plan to keep it, but it's been growing on me and I just might change my mind.
Another item I'm in love with! A hot/cold server from the 50's with bakelite handles! I wish I could figure out how to get a picture of this without me in the reflection, I must have taken 30 pictures and all of them either had a bad flash reflection or me. Trust me, having your reflection in a round, shiny surface is not flattering. Another $4 item, it seemed to be the going price for everything this time.
Retro, divided candy dish by California Potteries. Not the most modern color, but it's a really nice dish and in near perfect condition. $4, again:)
My next $4 item is this vintage ironstone coffee pot. Made by Broadhurst England. I love the shape and color of this, but I'm not a big coffee drinker. I honestly thought it was a teapot until I got home and did a little research. Unfortunately I couldn't find much, since it seems to be a rather rare pattern.
My find of the day! An almost full set of crystal stemware and a large crystal bowl. All just gorgeous and a great addition to my glassware. I found 8 of the larger goblets and just 4 of the small. I'm hoping to run across another 4 of the small so that I can set a full table with them someday. You never know what you'll find! The large pedestal bowl has a beautiful ring to it, I can't stop flicking it whenever I walk by, it cost me just $3.99. The larger stemware was $4.99 each and the smaller ones were $2.99 each and were half off, making them $1.50 each. Again, one of those items that's near impossible for me to get a decent picture of!
Thanks for stopping by!
