Sissy & I went thrifting today. We have a regular round of thrift shops that we go visit.
Savers & Goodwill are the 2 constants. Every now & then we visit a couple others. One is an independent one that is run by a local hospitals' auxiliary. Throw in a couple Salvation Army stores and a couple more independent thrift shops and that's a wide variety.
We both have found some good treasures at these various thrift shops.
I have started a nice collection of milk glass. And last year I found a great old typewriter.
Recently I found the cutest little sundae glasses. They are just the perfect size to make a small sundae or have a small serving of ice cream for dessert.
Today was a great day at the thrift shops for both of us. We even discovered a new company to look for that makes milk glass.
Having a phone with internet access is quite handy to have for research while thrifting!
I came home with:
3 milk glass vases
a pyrex bowl like this
2 small Royal China bowls from the 1940's in this pattern
another small sundae glass
1 small Hazel Atlas bowl
12 Archie comics, which the girls love!
Love thrifting days like today.
potd #37. My favorite find today. Small bowl made by the Hazel Atlas Company. It's from the 1950's. LOVE it. I think I now have a new mission when thrifting and tagsaling......
Love reading this. My mom has a glass additction. When she comes up from LA, I won't be able to let the two of you together.
