Unexpected Treasures

I had a great afternoon yesterday - I went to four thrift shops and that was it - it was so nice not to have to think about Christmas shopping - it was the best day - because I found  some great items for myself and some to list on Etsy, which I hope to get started on by the end of the week.

My one big splurge was this complete set of Colonial Mist Cinderella Bowls at Value Village, I don't think I've ever bought a complete set like this all at once, but I couldn't leave it there, it's was just too pretty and in the best of shape.  I have Mom's set of three Colonial Mist bowls but the color lineup is different than the Cinderella's and I get the larger bowl with this set.

Isn't it a beautiful set??

$4 for this Snowflake Blue Divided Dish - I have one - it's going to Sharon, who doesn't have this one.  It's just in perfect shape too.

A nice 403 for $1

Spring Blossom platter, dinner and supper plates - I bought a few items at the Salvation Army including these and it only came to $5

Most of these other items I'll be listing - another customer commented on my basket full of goodies, he said I had some very "retro" items and a " good eye" - I don't know about that but I think we were on the same kind of hunt, because I saw him later at another shop.  This is the set he was really eyeing...
