I found this red transferware dinner plate for $1. It is made by Royal Ironstone pattern Memory Lane from 1965. This piece got me to digging thru the china section. |

While digging I ended up finding this brown transferware dessert plate by Johnson Bros pattern Olde English Countryside. It was $2. |

.75 vintage blue Mason Jar. It did not have a lid but I can easily find one. |

Two sets of 4 bowl baskets each .99 cents and then an additional 30% off that day. Not sure what I will use them for but figured they would come in handy with tablescapes in the fall. |

I spotted this darling church for $1.99. It was part of a village and missing its light cord. I originally was going to paint it but it may stay just as it is. |

My grand find was this vintage winterscape artwork! It was 19.99 with an additional 30% off. As soon as I spotted it I knew it was my crown jewel for the day. |

I was not sure what it was called but knew that whomever made it spent quiet sometime on it. I wish there was a date on the back. My friend Brenda told me it is Crewel. I can not wait till the holidays and winter when I can display it. So all in all I did not too bad with $40 at the thrift stores. I still prefer to shop my favorite antique ships though and I have already told Oldest & Littlest a trip is in our future this week!;) Sharing at these lovely bogs: Savvy Southern Style |

I have a small "plate" problem - in that I cannot resist interesting and/or beautiful plates. I love the ones you bought, and you were able to get a great deal on them! I also LOVE the frame that you purchased. Ornate, detailed frames like that are worth a fortune. What great luck you had!
ReplyDeleteI am finding the same issue with thrift stores in my area. Most of them have their items WAY overpriced. I rarely take the time to go anymore. These days, I find I prefer flea markets and yard sales.

ReplyDeleteI found 8 of those same red transferware Memory Lane plates this past weekend. $7.99. Love them!
ReplyDeleteLove all your finds Pamela! The stitched piece is amazing .. I know it will be beautifully styled this winter in your decorating!
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela. I love this post! Would you mind if I post a link to it on my blog?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about some sort of challenge or link party along these lines, but with less $$ because I'm cheap!
Your crewel is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteHI Pamela, I love your thrift shopping finds. Those plates were a great price and the artwork and winter scene are beautiful!! Great finds for sure!! enjoy summer, Lisa
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela. I collect Memory Lane. What a find for $1.00. It is difficult to find here in south Mississippi. This is a link to a post I devoted to this delightful pattern: http://stillwoodsfarmhouse.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-trip-down-memory-lane.html
