This is the time of year that I start to really miss my flea markets and yard sales...
Yesterday, during my lunch hour, I found a few things at the thrift store ...
...A pretty German hand painted peacock plate...
($2.00)
...a crocheted tablecloth and eight white damask napkins...
($5 for both)
a pretty etched glass jar with a silver topped cork stopper...
($2.00)
...a sweet white vase....love the ruffle top...
($1.00)
Set of books from the 20's....great pictures...maps....etc.
($2.50 for set)
...and I don't have a great picture of the whole garment...
...but this is a closeup of a pullover Italian wool sweater coat with attached hood and scarf...
It was $8... a bit funky with 3/4 length sleeves...it goes down to my knees and it fits!
(one size fits all)
I plan to wear it with boots and a black turtleneck...
(Maybe I will have Talulah Rose model it for you...)
Not too bad! At least, not too bad for a January thrifting lunch hour!
Wouldn't you say?
:)

So much fun to go treasure hunting. I really like the napkins. And my sister would love your peacock find... she collects those.
ReplyDeleteExcellent finds! I love the bottle!
ReplyDeleteBeth
Wow! Gorgeous finds at fantastic prices. Love everything! Why would anyone want to buy new when they can get such wonderful pieces as this at a thrift store. I would say your lunch hour was indeed spent very well. Blessings, Tammy
ReplyDeletehow great are your finds? they are super! i have two of those bottles. they came in a set of three, in different sizes. i thought they were so pretty.imagine setting the table with your new lace cloth and using those lovely napkins. i bought an extra set of those napkins,so i could use them for wrapping gift packages. it was a special way to present a gift to someone. enjoy! Bestest,Denise
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you can find things like that for such a good price. Our thrift stores think they are antique stores. My favs are the glass jar and the books.

Several years ago we visited some friends of my my DH in San Francisco..........She had THE most amazing home I've ever been in........completely decorated by visiting the thrift store next door to her office on her lunch hour. I suppose I'd need to get a job to shop on my lunch hour? :-) Love your finds......especially the white vase.
ReplyDeleteWarm blessings,
Spencer
Awsome finds! The crocheted tablecloth is beaautiful and so is the glass jar. I am heading out tomorrow to do some thrift store hunting myself. I hope I have some luck.
ReplyDeleteRebecca
Love your new finds!

Not bad at all! I always think that you in the US have the best buys. Boy, that must be a disappointment when someone from the States visits a flea market in Paris! I use that crocheted cloth as a table cloth as well, but I always thought they were meant as bedspreads. Enjoy your finds and have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteThose are brilliant bargains! $2 for that gorgeous bottle??? $5 for those lovely napkins and the tablecloth? Geez, our charity shops/thrift stores are getting so expensive and are full of brand new merchandise these days. Hard to find a real old fashioned one where you can still get bargains.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous finds!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great finds, there. Love the vase and am absolutely jealous over the books. Please enjoy them all at least twice... once, for me.
