Hello and Welcome Spring
What's the weather like in your neck of the woods? Ours is unseasonably mild, high-forties and sunny. No complaints from me, though I'm not foolish enough to think it will last....
Have you found any treasures lately? I had a ball out picking this past week and even ended up finding a few keepers.
The pretty cup and saucer is marked "Summer Glory" Royal Albert England. I couldn't resist it at $1.99. I'll grab a little bit of spring wherever I can find it....
The two small plates are Syracuse China (.49 cents each). I'm a sucker for restaurant supply dishes and have collected several sets in different patterns. I like the scalloped edge on the pink and white plate, but I rarely see this pattern in my travels; when I do it's either a lone saucer or badly scuffed.
I think I'm in love....this old bowl is so elegant and the towels are my favorite fabrics and colors. They have already found a home in my linen closet.
I spent about $30 and had some much needed fun. I picked up a few old and well-made antiques to resell on eBay and a few things to put away for the Etsy store I haven't yet opened. ;-)
Happy hunting!
Diane

I love the Summer Glory. It is sooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeletethose are pretty finds. I wish I could shop in such a store. The Summer Glory Cup is really adorable. How I wish it would be spring.
Best greetings, Johanna
You found some great treasures and I love the colours of the Royal Albert teacup.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet find in that teacup! Love the pattern and it definitely says Spring! Thank you for joining me for tea.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

So nice to meet you. I would be happy to find just one of your new treasures, and you found them all!
ReplyDeleteYou know the old saying, "when it rains, it pours."
DeleteIn the past week I began seeing a lot of old stuff appear on the shelves in our local thrift shops. I suspected that at least one, possibly more, old estates had been donated. I kept going back as often as I could. It paid off.
Lovely finds~thanks for linking up at Feathered Nest Friday!
ReplyDeleteCharming finds! Thank you for sharing at Potpourri Friday! I am following and hope you will too!
ReplyDeleteLong time no see ....hope all is well and just busy with life!

One of my favourite ways to spend a few hours, sifting through the local thrift and yard sales. Love the vintage linens. I'm now following along.
ReplyDeleteI love them, too. Always have!
