Recent Goodwill Finds

On a few trips to Goodwill lately I found a few treasures. 

This past Saturday after dropping Joanna off at swim lessons ( Jeanne, Jessica and Andrew were all at the pool) Aimee, Jake and I stopped at the nearest Goodwill.  I found a cute black and white dress and a couple of sweaters, Jess found a summer dress (she joined us later), Aimee found a few tops and athletic pants, Jake found a few old Veggietales tapes he couldn’t live without.  In the back of the store in the house wares section they were having a $0.10 sale on cups, saucers, and plates.  I found this lovely set of  dishes (fine china Royal Court Carnation Japan) in soft pink and grey.  51 pieces for…….. get this $5.10!  I can’t decide if  I’m going to keep them or gift them.  Know anyone who might like them? ;)

There are six full place settings and two settings minus the cup and saucer and a few spare pieces.  All in excellent condition no scratches or chips.  I think they were made in the 40’s of 50’s if not then definitely in that style.

I bought these two cute aqua/floral bowls.  Wouldn’t fried rice be so yummy from these.

Cute vintage pitcher to hold delicious fresh squeezed orange juice.

Lovely white compote to go with all of my white serving pieces. 

All at fabulous Goodwill prices. 

On another recent GW trip I bought a $9.99 coffee table that we’re going to revamp for our family room.  I’ll post before and afters of that when we tackle that project.

Old School House Antique Fair

This past Friday Katy, Alexa and I drove up to Washington in St. Landry Parish and did a little shopping at their annual fall outdoor sale.  I managed to find some goodies and Katy bought me a couple of beautiful things.

I found seven of these precious sherbet dishes at an outdoor booth at the School House and one later in the day at a shop on the main drag.  Love them. All for less than $8.  whoo hoo

Morning Coffee

This morning I enjoyed my nice hot cup of  Community Dark Roast in this precious new coffee cup.  Katy and David went on a little flea market trip yesterday to Washington, LA  and  bought it for me.   Thank you my lovely sister.   The cup and saucer matches a set of dishes I found at Goodwill last week.    So I took a few pictures of it on the front porch this morning.   Enjoy
