Weekend Bargains

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!
