Thrift-Larking Treasures

You'd think that because I'm decluttering and downsizing that I wouldn't be going to thrift stores. Well, you'd be wrong. I love going to thrift stores because you never know what treasures await. And, frankly I just like seeing and touching pretty things. Occasionally I find a piece that grabs my heart and won't let go.

Some years ago I bought a set of 12 pink dessert plates, just because I couldn't resist the lovely feminine color, rimmed with gold.

I love using them! They are especially pretty for Valentine's Day or a Spring luncheon or tea.

Last week on a little thrift-larking adventure I found a platter that caused me to say, "Be still my heart!"

Isn't that the prettiest platter ever? I love it!

On a past adventure I found these two delightful glasses for when TopDad and I are alone for breakfast.

Now, for proof that more is going out than coming in, a couple of photos of the stuff stacked up for a yard sale and/or donation.

Have you been doing any Larking? (Search for, or creation of treasures)

I Love the Prairie Sky

 

Some day I'll have a good camera with filters to be able to capture the true colors and brilliance of the sky.

Until them, I'm grateful to have a camera at all. I absolutely love the huge prairie sky and summer clouds.
