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!
