My Newest Thrifty Treasure Finds
*
Yeeeehawwww!!! I Found a New Thrift Store!!!
*
Last weekend during a trip to the big city...I found a brand spankin' new thrift store! Ohhh girls, I was doin' my happy dance!!! Hehe!
*
This thrift store is a thrifter's dream...let me tell ya! It was packed so full of thrifty treasures that you had to dig and dig...just to see them all! Now that's my kind of place! I know that it's not everyone's "thing"...to have to dig to see what all is there but I just love it!!! The great thing about these kind of places is that alot of folk aren't willing to get in there and DIG...so many times there are hidden treasures...just waiting to be found! To be found by ME!!!
*
Here are a few of the treasures that I found...
*
*
A Set of 4...Olive Green Placemats
*
I love these placemats!!! These pretty olive green placemats will be perfect for my dining room! I love that they are reversible...pretty olive green & white checks on one side...and olive green stripes on the other! They are brand new...found them still in the package!
*
Cost: $1.00
*
*
Burlap Placemats & a Brown Transferware Plate
*
I found six, brand new, burlap placemats! I must confess that burlap really isn't my style, however I have been seeing some really pretty things made out of burlap lately! I'm not sure what I will do with these...maybe just use them for an Autumn table...maybe I'll stencil on them and make pillows???
*
I also found the most beautiful brown transferware plate! It's ironstone manufactured in England! I grabbed it faster then you could say "it's mine!" Hehe! Brown transferware is getting harder and harder to find and I love it!!!
*
*
Oooh...just look at that beautiful brown pattern!!!
*
Cost: 6 Burlap placemats...$1.00
Brown transferware plate...$2.99
*
*
Teapot, Pedestal Plate and Matching Bowl
*
After my exhilerating treasure hunt at the new thrift store, I went to TJ Maxx. I found this gorgeous white porcelain teapot! I was really excited because I had been "eyeing" the exact same teapot at an online store for $30. I just love the intricate roses that stand out on the front of the teapot...sooo pretty!!!
*
I also found the most beautiful white porcelain pedestal plate and matching oval bowl! I just love the reticulated edge with the pretty red & white polka dotted ribbon laced through it!!! Ohhh...wouldn't these pieces be pretty on a Valentine's Day table? Love, love, LOVE THEM!!!
*
Cost: Teapot...$9.99
Pedestal plate...$5.99
Oval bowl....$5.99
*
I love TJ Maxx!!!
*
*
*
The two crystal candleholders were another treasure find from the new thrift store. I just love the cut glass pattern on them!!!
*
Cost: $1.00
*
*
Silverplated salt & pepper shakers from the new thrift store! They need a bit of polishing!
*
Cost: $2.95
*
*
Fisherman Santa
*
And...last but not least...is my greatest treasure find of the day!!! As I was paying for all my goodies at the new thrift store, I glanced over at a shelf behind the cash register...lo and behold...there he was in all of his Christmasy glory...SANTA!!!
*
Now...I collect Santa's and really became excited when I saw him just standing there on that old shelf! I asked the lady...nonchallantly...how much she wanted for Santa. There wasn't a price tag on him but she would take $5.00 for him! Yeeeehawwww!!! I'll take him!!! Fisherman Santa was brand spankin' new...and for just $5...he was mine!!! Oooh...now I can't wait for Christmas to get here! Hmmm...let me see...only 326 days until Christmas!!! Hehe!
In the meantime, I decided to put fisherman Santa on the filing cabinet in our office! It's decorated in khaki and green and we have many of our old antique toys, etc. in there...so Santa, with his cute little khaki vest and green trousers...fits right in!

Chari, I love all of your neat finds. That teapot is sooo cute!
I've probably told you, but I also collect Santas, so I can relate to your excitement at finding a new one! Love the white "milk glass" looking dishes w/ polka dot ribbon. You hit the jackpot. Don't you just LURVE that?
Oh my! You are so lucky! :o)
I wish I could go shopping with you!
What a fun store that would be. :o)

And Dan got me the pedastal plate for Christmas, I am posting it tonight! The silver s and p are fabulous, they would go for much more and that Santa, he's a doll! I want to see the office room, it looks so charming! How's your week going? We are just trudging along, trying to get through winter.

Dear Chari,
Wow you hit the jackpot, everything is so pretty. Was there another teapot like that for sale? The riboon laced plates are perfect for Valentine's.
As always it is such a treat for me when you stop by for a visit. Everything is good here, still cold but not too bad. Hope you've been enjoying all those sweet grandchildren - I still can't believe you look old enough to have all those little grandkids.
Keep doing that happy dance!
Chari, you really did find a ton of wonderful things. Now let's see, I think I could really use all of it, don't you? lol Love it all. Hugs, Marty
I've got that white teapot! Only the lid broke, but it looks fine on my shelf anyway. Good finds there. See you Sunday. Thanks for the nice comments you leave!
What beautiful finds and what steals on prices. Lucky, lucky you. I love the teapot and pedestal/bowl. Gorgeous. Sure wish our thrift stores would get items such as you found.
OMG! Chari, you KNOW I love your finds. Check out my Tablescape Thursday post from last week- I have the matches to your teapot. It's one of my favorites! Great deal!

Girl those are some thrifty treasures you've found... my favorite thing is the crystal candle holders... I'm a sucker for a pretty candle holder...and I'd have snagged those if you didn't! thanks for sharing your treasure!
That teapot is gorgeous!! You got some great things. I need to keep looking for more Thrift stores...I haven't had much luck at the ones near me lately.....I usually do better at the Goodwill. Anyway, You have inspired me! Love everything you came home with. Your blog is a lot of fun!~
Hello lovely friend! You did find some WONDERFUL deals at the new thrift store!!! And a new thrift store in and of itself is a real find! I LOVE our Church thrift store. And I went to Birmingham and visited thrift stores there and found some amazing things. It's so fun never knowing what you'll find, but always something wonderful!
Have a blessed day and congrats on the awesome finds,
L
Great Treasure hunting and wonderful finds looks like you had a very fun time indeed ~Blessings Love Heather
Chari,

Hugs

Wow, you did hit the jackpot! I loved all your things. The plate stand and bowl are my favorite. Don't you feel like the kitty that just swallowed the canary when you have had a good shopping day! I always think of Sylvester and Tweety! LOL Joan @Americana By Candlelight
You really did find some wonderful treasures, Chari! I am so happy to hear I am not the only one that isn't in love with burlap...I was beginning to get a complex! I love brown transferware, that plate is beautiful. The little pedestal plate and matching bowl will look cute for many holidays, just change out the ribbons.
hey girl...I have that tea pot...and the sugar to go with!!! those really aren't that old even...the cake plates are here in homesense right now...and I picked up my teapot last spring! what a find!
I love those type of stores....I have been thrifting a little bit lately too....and re-painting some things...and just playing around to keep busy!
hope you have lots of fun in your new haunt!
~WOW! Chari you really found some awesome and very pretty deals! I just adore the ribbon tied plate. So cute!
