New Found Treasures

Well my friends, I must admit that I don't need a darn thing!

but

what's need got to do with it? lol!

Treasure hunting is just so much fun.  I try not to go too often, but when I do I find that I bring home quite a few goodies.

 

I have a fruit and veggie theme going on in my kitchen for the month of Aug.

I was excited when I spied this little pitcher for 75 cents.  There were two of them, but I only bought one.  I do have some will power.  Hee-hee!

 

 

This cup was $1 and the saucer came in a stack of assorted small plates taped together for an additional $1.  Our local thrift does not put cups and saucers together so you have to do a bit of searching.

It's a fun game seeing if you can find a mate.

 

The design is English Harvest and is made in England.

 

 

The harvest is exactly what I think of this time of year.  I've picked cabbages, peppers, and onions, but it wasn't until last weekend that I picked my first tomato.  Usually I pick one by July 4th.

 

 

A green transferware saucer and onion timer.

 

Driving home with my friend, Joanne; the timer went off.  It gave us a good laugh!

 

I picked up the bread pan a while ago.  I love it when collections are both useful and have a fun theme!

 

These are not old, but I have such a weakness for dotty dishes!  I will use them for Fall and Halloween.  Thought they'd be great for making individual pastas for the hubs and I.

 

 

I love anything Beatrix Potter and I have a small collection.  $1 for both pieces.  I thought that the pot would make a cute vignette this coming Spring.

 

 

I picked up the large wheat glass for 50 cents thinking it matched my collection.  It is different, but that's o.k.



I love these tulip juice glasses!  They're red, need I say more?  :)





I can never pass up doilies.  do you think the little one with the blue bow is a baby bib?  I hung it on the clothesline in the playhouse under the stairs.

 

I love old fashioned paperware!

 

Pretty enamel bowl.  Again, not old, just cute.

 

 

I'm going to turn this light shade over and make a bird feeder.

 

The blue cherry bowls were scored for $1 for all three.  Two have a small chip and one is cracked.  Actually, the one was fine when I got them.  The bagger sat the sack down hard and I heard something crack, but didn't say anything.  Darn, of course it was the one good bowl.

 

As I looked at this collage I realized that everything in it other than the set of small dotty bowls was picked up at thrift shops.

 

All of the blue checkered pieces were found one at a time.  Love when that happens!

 

 

How sweet is this little nursery rhyme cup and saucer?  I especially love Mary and her lamb. I have plans to use it in a back to school vignette.

 

 

Some of my finds were picked up by my friend first.  She handed them over to me.  Obviously she has better will power than I do.  Her excuse was, I don't do vignettes.  Like that would stop me!  lol!

 

I also found a fun picnic table, but I'll show it in a later post after I give it a make over.

 

Have you found anything fun lately?

 

hugs,

Jann
