I decided to go to Goodwill after I finished last night's post. Something was calling me - and when Goodwill calls, you answer. I found some great stuff (as I should have after walking around for an hour!!!). I'll get right into it.
I was super excited to find these plates. I have the tea cup and saucer that goes along with this ... it was my great-grandma's so I really couldn't believe it when I found some additional pieces. 
I love this print! So pretty ...
I found four different sizes.
For 50 cents a piece, I couldn't pass up these art deco shot glasses. They'll make great tea light holders!

I've seen these dishes around a lot of different places, so I finally picked one up. It matches my bar cart perfectly! 
Love the design!
I got 4 of these teacups ... they're really neat!
It had such cute little details.
Love it!!
I found these cute little "love birds", too. They match my cart as well!
And finally ... something I've been looking on Craigslist for and just can't get one at the right price. A major fixer upper dresser! Can't wait to get started on this.
I loved the pulls.
And the scratches and dents, too!
This was a pretty intense shopping experience for me. My GW was packed but I stuck out the crowd and perused each aisle until I was confident with my purchases. I am the queen of picking up something, thinking about it, putting it in the cart, putting it back on the shelf, then picking it up again, then putting it back when I'm ready to check out. I might take thrifting way to seriously, but I usually when I go, I have a "list" in my mind of the things I want. I was able to cross off quite a few things this trip!

I'll be linking all my finds to the party at Rhoda's later tonight. Can't wait to see what you all found this week!

Good finds. Love the tea cups!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dishes, all of them!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with the dresser. The knobs and pulls look very much like the ones on the dresser that I made over last weekend.
Great finds. I have been trying to get to a thrift store for over a week and something keeps geting in the way. I visit your blog often and I love that you post often. Take care and I'll stop back soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find on the dishes. The pattern looks familiar. Do you know the name of it? Love the birds!

ReplyDeleteI love all your finds! I'd love to find a dresser like that and transform it!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Wonderful finds! I always pick things up and put them in my cart and then think about whether or not I really want it. At my Goodwill there's no going back - someone else would have picked it up!

Looks like you found some great deals! I NEVER find anything unique at my local Goodwill stores :-( Owell, I'll keep looking. Can't wait to see your finished dresser - I enjoy furniture refinishing too. I was just given an old school desk to refinish for my niece.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to find plates like your Grandma's
ReplyDeleteteacup. They are very sweet, what is their name?
