a fruitful thrift trip

first off let me say that there are times when i go shopping that i feel like saying "why me?" either i have money to spare and i find not a dang thing that i really like or it's that i go knowing i can only spend a certain amount and i end up surrounded by tons of pretty things screaming to take them home with me. on this occasion i left with my arms overflowing and feeling sad for the stuff i couldn't bring along. my boys got an old school desk for their room. it is so frigging cute, even better it was only $1.97, seriously i was beaming with delight.



















i also found a pitcher that was in outstanding shape. i haven't searched for the maker yet, although it does have that hocking glass look to it.



















there were quite a few corning and pyrex pieces i grabbed, among them is a really fantastic pyrex mixing bowl. it's teardrop shaped and marked like a measuring cup. i'm hoping i can eventually find the others in the set because after only one use i was head over heels. i used it at breakfast and it fits perfectly in your hand while mixing. love, love, love!



















this evening i will be adding some more indiana harvest milk glass to my etsy. i was lucky enough to find a couple compotes that are stackable. they are so pretty, i never get tired of this pattern.

btw adding and arranging photos to this baby is pain i never could have imagined, sheesh.
