Thrift shop treasures

I'm a major thrift shop junkie. I get all giddy and excited every time I drive up to the door of our little local thrift shop. You just never know what you're going to find, right? This week I found a great pine dining hutch that will be getting spruced up and moved into our dining room.

I also found some lovely little random items that I just couldn't leave behind.

This lovely little creamer...so chubby and cute.


I just love the pattern on this little platter. There's no marking on the bottom, so I don't know what it is, but I love it anyways.


I just couldn't leave this little painting behind. It makes me happy looking at it...and for $0.50,...who could resist? And milk glass...I can always use some more milk glass.

Last but not least, this cute little elephant salt-shaker looked so lonely sitting on the shelf next to a pile of plastic plates. I think he will add a touch of whimsy to our table.


Happy weekend!

    Dear Tracey, such lovely photographs. I just love the sweet creamer, great color! The little painting is too cute, Pretty Pastel! Those sweet little treasures will probably brighten your day. Passing by, looking at them, a smile on your face. That's how it works with me ;o)
    Have a wonderful sunday! Oh, and enjoy the Olympics.

    Such cute finds! I definitely cannot resist a thrift store and I don't think I have ever left one empty handed {thus my super cluttered house...lol}. That platter you found is simply amazing!
