Our Thrift Finds

Our Sunday will be a cloudy and rainy one. That's quite okay with us, because we need the rain on our young gardens. My husband and I went thrift shopping again yesterday and I found what I was looking for, milk glass! We were quite fortunate to find these beautiful pieces at a little shop on the eastern outskirts of Texas. Dusty, cobwebs and dirty, we searched from corner to corner of that little shop, because things were haphazardly placed everywhere. The pieces found were crusted dirty and had to be washed immediately.

 It was a successful hunt and these will be added to our growing collection. The last two pictures shows a close-up of the three pieces that are heavier. I was amazed at the weight when I lifted them. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you, there are more, but these are the pieces I liked. There were a total of thirty-two pieces! What a find. I love them all!

Our Thrift Finds

Our thrift shopping recently brought us to a little town on the outskirts of Louisiana and Texas. A little dusty shop tucked in back of another building seemingly drew us inside. The entire place was dusty and damp. However, the little old lady was very friendly. She told us she was happy we were there, because she needed our help. We smiled when she lead us to the back and outside, then asked my husband if he would do a little moving and lifting. While he helped her, I browsed around, and after a while he returned dusty and just about ready to leave.
 We were making our way to the door as the shopkeeper talked encouraging us to look around. And then, we spotted the pots! After looking them over, imagine our surprise when she said she'd take $3 for them all! She was so thankful for my husband helping her and not taking any money, so she did this! Reluctantly, we agreed and after having tea, and more talking and giving me things, we finally got out with the promise of coming again soon!

                                     

Notice the before pics. These pots were a mess! But upon examining them, I knew what was underneath!
We have 2 pots and a tea kettle in the Revere, and there are a total of ten pieces of the waterless cookware!
Wouldn't you say we had a successful day of shopping and all for $3 and a little work!
