So far my perfect record for finding thrift store goodies in Wisconsin remains unbroken. Each trip, I seem to come across a few bargains, and when we're in the car (as opposed to the times we've flown), I am happy for the space to transport goodies back to Georgia!
After I received a miniature African violet a few months ago, I found that demitasse size teacups (like this one) are perfect for displaying them. I don't want to spend more than a few dollars for my glorified flower pots, though, so this $1.99 set fit the bill. I also love the unique handle!
I have a green glass plate matching this pink Cremax one and just love it, using it to serve everything from cookies to cake to tea sandwiches. This was well worth the $4.99 I paid for it!
And finally, this old Homer Laughlin salad-size plate ($1.99) is something I bought purely for the graphics. Isn't that just a happy design of a bird and flowers? It says spring to me — and spring in Wisconsin!
Loved seeing more of your Wisconsin finds! Unique handle on the demi-teacup. Your African violet will look lovely in it.
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds. Do you put the whole pot into the teacup for the violets? I have some cups that would be perfect for this...never thought of putting violets in them.
ReplyDeleteDo you plant your African violets in the cup or just leave them in a different container and set the container in the cup? I love the idea of using imperfect tea cups in other ways!
ReplyDeleteMore great finds!
ReplyDeleteLove the teacup! Our son and DIL moved to Wisconsin last summer so, I'll have to be on the look out now that we have an excuse to travel there .
ReplyDeleteYou did find some great things! But what about CHEESE?
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely finds.
ReplyDeleteNice finds! Love Homer Laughlin and the graphic was worth the purchase for sure. I did notice the handle on the teacup and was intrigued. You find the best things for tea.
ReplyDeleteYou do always manage to find some treasures! I need to get out more!
