Wow Linda. You found some beautiful pieces for really cheap!! I haven't found anything here lately. VV has more junk and the good stuff is always gone or too expensive now. The Cornflower candle holder was a steal of a deal! That pattern is quite collectible now. I have several pieces and lots of glassware in it. I love the orange flowered creamer. Cute!
ReplyDeleteI also find Value Village expensive..
DeleteI just love Cornflower...got a few lovely pieces from my Mom...
I frequent the Salvation Army...and Bibles For Missions shops...always find something nice!!
You go to some great stores to find bargains. We don't seem to have many around here. I've been collecting glass pieces to make a glass totem for a friend's birthday. Haven't been out to look lately, been too busy at home. Got the books all shelved, now going through some boxes from the china cupboards ... some stuff isn't making it back. A big donation box has been started. Hm-m-m maybe I should start my own thrift store :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting your place organized...back to normal!!
DeleteA lot of people sell their thrifty finds on ETSY...
Perhaps you should try that!!!
amazing prices! amazing.
ReplyDeletemy darling mother loved little pitchers. creamers. i think I've mentioned that before. but whenever i say it ... i can see her delight in them all over again ... just as your delight is in these. gave me a great memory again. as you always do! thanks.

You are welcome....glad I can be of assistance!!!
DeleteHey, you did GREAT!!! Don't you just love it? So much more fun that going to the mall. Love the deals. We have very similar tastes..I would have picked up most of those things for myself if I were there! baskets..jars...bowls...you just can't have too many! hahaha. Got a few good deals myself yesterday at the auction.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds, eh Betsy!!
DeleteI HATE going to the Mall...love thrift shopping!!
Love your bargain finds! I think we have to shop together as I NEVER find good stuff like you do! Faaaaaaaaabulous!
ReplyDeleteI will take you this summer...on our way to the cottage!!! Deal?
DeleteDeal!
DeleteI love the canning jars! I look for those too. They make great sugar bowls. And you already know I have a thing for creamers.
ReplyDeleteI think it's almost time for me to find some thrifty deals. Maybe I'll start perusing garage and yard sales again.
Get out there Martha...there are things just waiting for you to take home!!
DeleteGreat finds! I haven't bought anything vintage lately. It's hard to find anything like that around here. I want to try a new vintage shop I've never been to though; I just need to find some time during their short hours of being open!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your shopping!!!
DeleteGood shopper! I share your passions for baskets, and creamers, and dishes in general. Also for antique jars with wire closures. I would have been arm wrestling you for a couple of those pieces. Love the table too. I have a darling half table on my front porch. Love it!
ReplyDeletexo Kris
I wish I could find deals like that! That vintage table would for around $55.00 here. The glassware would go for no less than $8.00 to $15.00.
