Thrifing Jackpot (Part 2)

Well I had to share some of the other items found at the Goodwill on Saturday. The first one was this beautiful white glazed stoneware pie plate. I love the roses. This beauty set me back $2 bucks . . . My husband and I received a beautiful silver bowl as a wedding present and I spotted an identical one, complete with the hard plastic liner, for $3! Other than being tarnished it is in perfect condition.
Once home I pulled out the silver cleaner and got to work shining and buffing . . .

Ta Da! My new beautiful silver bowl . . . you just have to love Goodwill!

I have a pie plate just exactly like that. Can't remember where I got it. I've had it for a long time.

I am so glad you followed Lisa's blog to mine! I love garage sales and thrift shops! NO goodwill stores here but I visit them when I go to my parents! we do have salvation army but thats it! I love to recycle items between my scrapping and my decorative painting! Guess I should start showing it more on my blog!
