It's been awhile since I've done any treasure hunting at the thrift stores, so today I stopped at Goodwill and found a few goodies! Look at this huge basket! I love the rustic look and think I'll have plenty of uses for it! Another fun find was this galvanized watering can~ it has a little different shape than others I've found, and the long spout is great!
This large platter was the best find of the day! It is a Copeland Spode piece in the green Valencia pattern!
The edge decoration reminds me of Belleek and I love the delicate berry and leaf decoration...
I plan to use this funny old book for the graphics...
Every page is full of trivia questions...
It's always fun to do a little thrift store shopping! Hope you're having a little fun this week, too!

Love all your finds especially the basket. Lots of good uses for that. I can't believe you found that platter at Good Will.
ReplyDeleteI love that galvanized watering can. What a great shape. I can see all of this used for holiday decorating (and the book in your next collage). Glad you were able to stop and do a little treasure hunting!
ReplyDeleteWow. I need to go to your Goodwill!
ReplyDeleteWish our Goodwill was as cool as yours! Cute finds! :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll try to thrift more often after finding these goodies! That basket looks nice and old, and the watering can with that long spout is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYour platter is wonderful. You always find the best stuff!
ReplyDeleteI think that plate is so sweet. I love old dish-ware; it is fun to think of past times when it was used.

Hmmm..I feel a trip to Good Will coming on..Lol
Great finds! I have to say that our thrift and goodwill stores around here are pathetic. Every time I stop by, there is nothing even remotely interesting. I stopped at one today. And there was nothing. We must be lacking in thrift store genes around here!

Hi Linda,

Fun book!
I'm still trying to stay away from "shopping"... I need to pack the Jeep in the garage before it snows and that means .. cleaning it out! Too much stuff!
Warmly,
