Can You Say Enough Is Enough....

Can you say enough is enough...seems that I just can't when it comes to seeking out treasures at the thrift shops. I have decided that my resolution for the New Year will be to cut back on buying so many dishes. That is a good one, right?

I will join Leigh at Tales From Bloggeritaville when she posts this week. It is so nice of her to invite me to her party every week, she knows I will show up, along with several other guests, so make sure you all go check out her blog to see who else joined the party!



Friday finds at Goodwill include 2 Christmas soup bowls, a small grape vine Bordallo plate, 2 pink salad plates, cobalt salt/pepper shakers,4 dark amber champagne flutes and a red candle holder. All of that for about $7.50.

I really lucked out at the ARC Thrift Store here in town, Saturday. I combined with the Goodwill Monday treasures in the photos. I found another soup tureen/ladle/plate, 6 berry bowls, a couple boxes of Christmas ornaments (for making a wreath) and an Irish coffee mug which I will use for a St. Patrick's Day post...all of this for about $8. Goodwill Monday is senior discount of 25% so I try to work my grocery shopping around thrifting so that a special trip isn't made, as it is 25 miles from where I live.

Goodwill had a few items that ended up in my cart...a 5 piece place setting/service for 4 of the Gibson holly dishes, that I have seen on a few blogs recently, 4 wine stems with clipper ships etched on the them, some fun blue/white/orange/green sliverware and 3 cookbooks to add to my collection, which must be around 1000-1100, now. With the discount the dishes were $2.99, wine stem 37¢ each, silverware $2.22 and cookbooks $2.
