$2 Spent
I have a memory of a piece of chalkware hanging in Mom's kitchen, I very seldom every see any and when I do, it's mostly always all chipped to pieces. As soon as I spotted these two pieces at the Saint Vincent de Paul shop, I grabbed them, except for one small chip, they look like they had been maybe never used. The two of them were $1 - I had the perfect spot for one and the other one is going to get a home somewhere in the kitchen too.
I think they're beautiful!!
I did make the rounds of the shops the other day, it was pretty sad but I did come home with another Vera scarf and that makes me happy!!! This wingtip is really pretty, I shelled out $1 for it!! My Vera scarf collection now totals 217 - I love the thrill of the hunt for these scarves!!
I'm so glad you posted about these :) Great score! The Chalkware is adorable.

Love chalkware! I always pick it up when I see it. I especially love the old carnival prizes! Thanks for sharing @ TTF!
ReplyDeleteOh they are so cute! I have a chalkware bird planter hanging in the playhouse under the stairs. I found it at a thrift shop in Idaho and couldn't pass it up. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

I love reading about the Vera scarves. I used to work with a woman who collected them with her mother (about 20 years ago). I frequently found them at church sales and thrift shops for under $1 and it was fun to bring them to her at work. She always said "I'll gladly reimburse!" They must have had quite a collection.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun t see what others collect. The chalkware fruit is smile inducing.
