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.
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)
Wow! Congratulations -- that really is the prettiest platter! And it goes so well with the lovely dessert dishes! It was meant for you. (I have seen the same platter with light blue, which would coordinate well with my china, but I think the pink version works best.)
ReplyDeleteThe pair of glasses will brighten your breakfasts for two. I like fun glassware, and these are exceptionally nice!
