Fun finds...

I love thrifting! I go to thrift stores, antique stores, flea markets, rummage sales and garage sales. It's a frugal way to shop, but also my therapy! 😁 A few weeks ago, I hit a "mother-load" garage sale. It was put on by young people selling their grandma's old stuff and they were dirt cheap! I don't think they fully realized what they had. 

I found all of this beautiful antique china for under $10.00! One of my favorite steps of the thrill of the thrift is what I call the decontamination process. I absolutely love unpacking and washing all of it! It's so fun to really look at each item. I also love researching items and finding out it's history and what it's worth.

Isn't this Lilly of the Valley plate beautiful!

Gorgeous gold filigree plate!

I love anything with vintage cabbage roses!

This is an amazing made in Germany pitcher. It's really old. 

Fenton darling stars and stripes pitcher! This will be fun next 4th of July! 

Pretty!

I just love the antique roses and beautiful colors!

I found two cake pedestals. I have several clear crystal cake plates, but this one was so pretty, I couldn't resist! I was so excited to finally find one made from milk glass! 

I love the size and shape of this platter. 

I was happy to see that it's marked Ironstone. I don't believe I have ever owned a piece of Ironstone, I have always read where people collect it, but wasn't sure how they could tell if it apart from other pottery, but it's defiantly heavier! I found this exact one made by Red-Cliff on-line for $75.00!

This was my piece-de-resistance! It's an antique sugar shaker and very collectable! I found one on Ebay and they were asking over $300.00! Score! 

Now that everything is washed and researched it all gets put away and/or put to use!
