A Dollar'sWorth of Fun



On the way back from the grocery store yesterday I stopped at a yard sale.
I found this old ironstone gravy boat for one dollar and brought it home to play with.









Easily entertained!

Hope you have a great Saturday!
:) Laura

Beautiful! I am loving ironstone these days too. Found two platters this week at garage sales for a couple of bucks apiece. I think my collection is getting a little out of control but I can't pass up one of those crazed pieces!
Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.
