One of the fun things about shopping for the holidays all year round is that I always have something new to play with when the actual holidays arrive. I recently found a few more 99-cent Santa mugs at Goodwill. These aren't vintage, but I thought they were cute and will blend well with my collection.
Did I say collection? Well, I've started a new one. I decided these amber-colored glass sherbet dishes sure would be fun to use at Thanksgiving. It's not my year to host (it's my sister's), but if I start now, I'll bet I can gather the 18 or so of these I'll need to serve something yummy in at Thanksgiving next year. I've started finding them for about a dollar, and that's about the max I'll pay. I want this to be a totally thrifted collection!
And here's another one.
While I had Thanksgiving on the brain, I bought a cute new Nordic Ware pan at Goodwill for just $1.49.
I'm planning to use it to make "festive" shaped cornbread, as I don't really have the time to learn to decorate a pumpkin cake! Have you started any new collections, thrifted or otherwise?
I love the mugs! So cute. I have started looking for those, but I think I have 2 so far, I'm not sure it qualifies as a collection yet. Yet...! Your amber sherbet dishes are so pretty, they just look right for a Thanksgiving table. I would never have thought to make cornbread in a fancy cake pan - but why not? I hope you'll share a picture of it when you make it. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteThe sherbet dishes will be great to use at Thanksgiving. We had green ones growing up. Though I don't think we ever at sherbet out of them. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea to use that decorative pumpkin pan for cornbread! And the sherbert glasses will look great on your Thanksgiving table next year.
ReplyDeleteI always think of you when I see Santa mugs. The sherbet glasses will be so fun. I started buying green water glasses and love that touch of color on the table for tea times.
