I went out this morning with shoppin' on my mind.
I hit GW first and found three things. Then, on to one of my favorite antique malls in a little town near me where I found 3 more things. Yay.. I was on a roll.
Sadly, some of the antique shops were no longer in business, but I tried a new place just down the street, and was surprised to find 3 more goodies. Whoo! Hoo!
What's the old saying? Good things come in threes!
Here's a mini vignette of 3 of the things I found, plus one from last week.
At GW, I found a set of 4 napkins, brand new, and a Revere bowl with a liner. Now, I know these bowls are "a dime a dozen" at GW, but I love them. They are so handy for many uses, and I like to use the liners with salty things, or something that might react with the silver.
What I can't figure out is...why are there are so many Revere bowls at GW? Almost every time I go in a GW I see one.
The olives look sort of odd with the other things, but I didn't want to show an empty bowl. I got the whole box of faux olives last week for $2 at a consignment shop.
One of the things that I am really happy with is this Mason's Vista Ming Jar.
It was only $14.00 !
It's hexagonal and has little feet. Sorry, I didn't get a good shot of the little feet. I was trying to hurry and get the photos before the sun went down.
Since I had to run errands today and got home late, I didn't get a chance to do vignettes for the other items.
I'll show you those another time.
Here's a little closer look at the lid. I also found two more pieces of transferware today--one blue and white, and the other brown and white. I'm in transferware heaven.
I hope y'all are having a great week.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm always glad to see you.

ReplyDeleteYou got some really great stuff! Wow! I NEVER find that kind of stuff, and I have NEVER seen a silver Revere bowl at any of the thrift stores I've visited. I'm telling you...Kansas City thrift stores are awful!!! Maybe I need to go at a certain time of day or visit more frequently. It's so frustrating!!! I am thrilled for you, though! That vase is unbelievable! Funny what people will hand over to a thrift store, huh? Can't wait to see the other goodies you found. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, I can never pass up silver and I love the transferware jar. Those olives look great, never seen faux ones before!

Babs,
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, indeed!!!
We, too, have experienced darling little shops that are no longer in business. Breaks ones heart, but it truly is a "sign of the times".
I, too, found a great item over the weekend, just busy and haven't gotten to a post yet!I'll share soon!
Fondly,
Pat
You found some lovely things. I would love to find a liner for the Revere bowl; that really would make it a lot more useful! The transferware jar is so pretty and I love those napkins, too.
ReplyDeleteYou have such good taste,wish I could shop with you.Love the jar.
ReplyDeletePretty vignette! I have one of those Mason's Vista jars too...paid more for mine though ;-( You got some great deals. I love the Revere bowls also...timeless!

Thanks for coming over, I'm at my daughter's in the capital, so I haven't had time to do any posts since last week, too many errands with her to do, hope I get home tonight. Have a nice weekend.
