... actually this one is a small tablecloth, not a tea towel, and all four corners have a different piece of teaware embroidered on them. Now there is a reason these pieces were on clearance. All had stains or a small tear, but the designs were all intact and, I thought, well worth $1 each.

I also found a vintage tea caddy, which was a little more than $1, but I am most proud of my newly-rescued linens!
Great deals! I want to go shopping with you. you definitely have a knack for finding lovely things at a good price.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - that's better than yard sale prices - great deal. I like all the pretty linens and your vintage tea caddy.
ReplyDeleteSuch great finds! I love even the damaged linens because you can pile several together on a table and cover the damaged spots or cut them up and make something very special with them. That caddy is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you do give us temptation on a daily basis. I ended up getting the Serendipity Tea book yesterday in the mail. One I have wanted for a long time.
You should be. These are great!
ReplyDeleteYou GO girl!! I get so excited when you post your fabulous tea finds!
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! Angela, what a 'Super Treasure Hunter' you are - I love the tea linens, I always 'wonder' what kind of events they 'were at,' was it a birthday celebration or just a tea party? They seem to have such a story, such a history. That caddy is lovely, too. Joanie
ReplyDeleteWhat fun finds, Angela. You find the neatest things at bargain prices!
ReplyDeleteWhat great things you found. I'm sure you will find a way to cover the imperfections.
ReplyDeleteI love the animated pots and pans
