Thrift Store Score...
Extra Extra !!!! Read all about it. Guess what everybody. I finally found something at the corner thrift store. Seven crystal dessert glasses that actually ping when you clink them. Week after week. Month after month I would trudge in there looking for something, anything that tickled my fancy. I spied these beauties on a dusty shelf in the corner. Just four dollars for the seven of them. Yippee!! A fellow blogger Cathy from Acorn Hollow put the bee in my bonnet about thrift stores. Cathy is an expert when it comes to thrifting.. The items Cathy finds are remarkable and she usually posts about them. I hope it isn't another six months before I score another great deal.

Susan these are great---I've been doing a lot of thrifting too. It's so satisfying when you nab something special. In fact I'm looking at two crystal bowls of teeny cherry tomatoes that I've set up for one of my next posts! Great minds think alike I guess!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love thrift store finds! I should post about things I get more often. Just a couple weeks ago I bought a number of Lantern Moon knitting needles (brand new) for 80 cents. I've found such pretty things so cheap. We have lots of pewter in this area, so it's easy to find something pretty. Your dessert glasses are truly beautiful! And they look wonderful set out with fresh fruit the way you arranged them. You have such a good eye for food!
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous. They remind me of when I was a little girl and my parents would have dinner parties (late 60's early 70's) and everybody used those little dessert dishes when they were trying to be fancy. Note: that means we didn't use them every day (smile)
ReplyDeleteGreat buy and the photo is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love thrift stores. I usually get old records (last great fine was Elsa Lanchester singing old bawdy songs!) and sometimes clothing, but those glasses are a true find!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Yes, Cathy finds some of the best "junk"!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
I love thrift stores you can find good stuff there ! Your find looks wonderful they look great! Love the photo. Have a wonderful day !
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you found something, I never find anything either. I will not give up and just keep browsing. Very pretty glasses.
ReplyDeleteNice score! They look wonderful too. Oh, you have the itch! You will be hooked on thrifting for the rest of your life. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so very pretty and I agree the photo is just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, very elegant. They look so good with the fruit, great shot!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, glad you found them-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!! What a great buy.....
ReplyDeleteLike you, I visit thrift stores with such high hopes of finding the most fabulous thing and I leave disappointed and empty handed. I am always so jealous of what others find. I think my visits are not consistent enough to pay off.... Love the display.
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal, and they are lovely! -Tammy
ReplyDeleteooooh how pretty, what a great score! I am always in awe of Cathy's great finds and some are free! Hope you are enjoying the day, Julie.
ReplyDelete... White Home Collections in Wilton, NH love the place ... been there?
ReplyDeleteThose glasses are just lovely! Don'tcha just love a bargain?
How pretty they are. I would have snaped them up also.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet they are! I can see the sparkle from here. I am so happy I inspired thrifing. Thank you so much for the link.

I love- no, LOVE thrift shopping. I've gotten really good at it after about ten years! I have scored some major goodies. Keep at it.
ReplyDeleteCathy is the expert thrifter! You did a fantastic job! Don't you wish we had more thrift stores around here!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I like the goodies in them too! :-)
Glad you finally found something. Sometimes that is the way it is, you have to keep going back and then boom, there it is. Some thrift stores are better than others. I tried many of them, then decided to just frequent the ones that have better stuff. Pretty glasses, the fruit looks yummy, too.
ReplyDeleteThrifting is one of my favorite hobbies! So much fun to find something you love. These little dessert dishes are so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love them! In fact I have a very similar set to these. It's just so rewarding finding something you love that has been pre-loved!
ReplyDeleteI really like the dessert glasses, isn't thrifting wonderful! I have found some of my favorite things that way.

Your dessert dishes were a goog find. I have the same problem as you about not finding cute things or good deals. The merchandise in our thrift stores look like end of the day yard sale junk. I'm glad you finally found something useful and pretty. I will keep looking.---------Shannon
ReplyDeleteCongrats, You got a great deal. I love thrift stores.You can find some great things, but you have to keep checking back to find them.But when you do it's like Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI like what you put in the glasses too.
ReplyDeletenow for a little champagne and we are set!

Great find and fabulous photos ~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful glasses! Over here we have charity shops (possibly the equivalent of your thrift stores?) which I love searching through, because every now and again you find something beautiful which everyone else has overlooked. So satisfying, on many levels!
ReplyDeleteYAHOO! Love this find...and I love the "ping":))
ReplyDeletewhat a score...congrats!!!!!
