Still Time for Thrifting

Wouldn't that tray of sweets be nice to have??  That neat old pic came from this vintage Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, I don't have a clue what year it's from but it's a nice book and I only paid 50 cents..  Cookbooks are the best deal, especially when you find a new one like this Taste of Home cookbook, I don't think it was ever used - it was 50 cents too and the novel was only 25 cents.

I bought four bags of buttons which I've started using already!

They had quite a few of these plates at the Salvation Army - with different years and different colors - I had to buy 1958!!  The plate is by Pebbleford and manufactured by Taylor-Smith-Taylor.  It must be a high quality item, it was priced at $1.99.

I bought this bowl because I may never find a Pyrex Dots bowl and this might be the next best thing.  I thought it was an Anchor Hocking bowl but after looking at some comments on Flickr and looking at it closer, I realize now that it's a Hazel Atlas bowl, I've seen pics of similar bowls but they're not frosted like this one.  It's cute adn I only paid $1.

This is a cute little bowl too - there isn't any marking on it at all - it could be used as a cereal bowl - it was only 50 cents too.

It seems like I haven't found any Pyrex in a while, I picked up this 402 Spring Blossom bowl at Value Village, prices seemed to be up this week,  I paid $4.99 - wonder if they raised their prices for Christmas!!  I bought this little carafe too for $2.99.  It's only about 6 inches high.

There's always time for thrifting even when you're Christmas shopping!!!!
