Treasures

Some recent garage sale hunting, Goodwill sifting, buck banging bargains I'm proud to be the owner of:

Though it is one lone saucer with no teacup, the colors and pattern called out to me at Goodwill last week. Possibly a soap dish? Trinket holder? Time will tell.

Walking through a smoky VFW hall was worth it when I bought this vintage juicer for just $2.

This framed print came from the county flea market. I like that (1) it's old, (2) it's of a real building that still stands in London today, and (3) that I talked the seller down to half price.

I'm so excited to have a batter bowl! All trends aside, Jadeite truly is beautiful.

Maps, flat or round, intrigue me. Especially $4 ones.

The shape and color of the cups reeled me in, but when I noticed there were freaking chickens on the plates my heart sank. I don't like chicken decor. Too country for me. But when I slowed down to focus on the great gold and blue colors, the durable melamine construction (perfect for rooftop dining), and the dirt cheap price of $4... the suddenly charming chickens found a new home.
