The temperature was in the 70's here on Friday and it was such a beautiful day. My friend and I left early to spend the day in Williamsburg, VA, shopping at all the thrift shops and consignment stores.
I've been looking for a rose colored tablecloth to use with my china for a long time. They are pretty hard to find because I guess this isn't a popular color right now. My friend found one hanging on a rack at the Disabled Veteran's Thrift and it was the perfect color. It looked to be freshly laundered and was stain free. What a find for $3.
The color is lighter than it looks in this picture. The china was given to me by my neice. Her aunt was a nurse in WWII and brought the set back with her from France. I don't use it often because it is so old and very fragile.
At the same store I found this reversible black and white stripe and toile tablerunner. It is in new condition also and was only $3. I plan to use it with my black toile dishes. Both items laundered beautifully!
And last but not least, I got this beautiful china teacup for $1. It is made by Paragon and the pattern is called Tapestry Rose. Don't know what I'll do with it but just couldn't leave it. I always feel the need to rescue a pretty teacup!
Have a great weekend from the furgirls and me!
looks like you got some great finds! I will be doing the same today ;-)
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteI love the Cape. Wish I was there to join you!
Very nice finds. I love a good treasure hunt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finds Sharon! I love going thrift store shopping! The weather finally broke and I got to go Thursday. It had been 3 weeks since I had been there. I didn't find anything good like you did though. I bought a heavy duty dog leash for my mom's big dog for a dollar. That was a good buy! I think that stores that get their items donated for free to them shouldn't charge people an arm and a leg to buy them. I know that some of the GoodWill stores around here are so expensive that I do better at the store on the clearance rack!
ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Weekend!

I love the rose teacup.I always look for teacups with roses on in France, they are hard to find here,I'm off to a flea market to morrow maybe I'll find one.
ReplyDeleteI love rescuing teacups!
ReplyDeleteYou got some beautiful items, I have gave up looking when my health got so bad, but it seems like everybody and their mother would scoop up any nice things - to resell on the internet. We are in a quite depressed area as far as money goes. Our Goodwill charges too much, I never find a bargain there.
ReplyDeletegave = given
ReplyDeleteSorry, I am still tired.
Have a great day!
I love that cup and the rest were some great finds too.--Inger
