More Blue and White Spice Jars

The four spice jars on the middle shelf were also a Traverse City find.  They are cute and fit in perfectly.  These were one of those finds that had me singing for joy (well, in my head anyway...) for the rest of the day.

One Dollar

For me, the most surprising finds at my neighborhood thrift store are doilies. I know that they are long out of style, but the work that goes into one? They should cost hundreds of dollars. I know this, because I once bought a crochet book, a hook, and some thread and set off to learn to crochet a doily while my family played along the beaches of Lake Michigan. It is tediously hard work. If I remember correctly, I got something about the size of a silver dollar except it would not lay flat.

Anyway..,

this piece is not crochet, and it doesn't look like tatting either.

But it's beautiful and flawless and works perfectly for me!

And the Collection Grows!

Certainly I've told this story before, but I once had to pass up a very nice complete set of these.

Next to the complete set was a second tea pot. I did get that.

And, over the years I've added the three plates.

One at a time.

Found another one over the weekend!

I just LOVE treasure hunting!
