I went to the thrift store this morning and found a few nice things. This tea cup and saucer will join my small collection of made-in-Japan tea cups. I love how the insides of the cups are mother-of-pearl. I especially like the open piecework around the saucer on this one.
This pretty tea pot was only four dollars and will go on my tea pot display out on the porch.
Because this pot had no lid it was marked down to a dollar. I'm planning on using it in my garden shed to hold tools.
Once I have some potted plants outside I may stick some of these pretty blue silk flowers around to brighten things up.
This Autumn-leaf platter was a treasure from a few weeks ago but I'm not sure I ever posted a picture of it. After I brought it home it went right into the tub marked Autumn Decorations.
I hope you enjoyed having a peek at my treasures.
Thanks for your visit today!

You always find the best treasures! I love the open work on the teacup saucer... so pretty. The basil pot is perfect for storing garden tools... what a find!

ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better by now...sorry, I somehow missed your last post where you told us about your fall...I'm glad that you didn't break anything though I'm sure you were quite sore and probably still are!

ReplyDeleteAdore that beautiful tea cups and saucer. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI like that pot you chose for garden tools - I am on the lookout for a smaller sort of pot for certain things on my gardening workbench, but I hadn't thought of looking at the thrift store. So far I had only looked around on my own cluttered garage shelves. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of good deals you got! All beautiful! Every time I read of your thrift store adventures it makes me feel okay about ordering so many books from Amazon, lol! (My particular weakness!)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you had a fall. Hope you heal well! X Chy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tea cup in deed!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are going to use that piece in your garden shed, great idea.
Thank you for sharing your beauty with us ~
