A Few of My Finds

Here are photos of a few of my finds from Saturday's marathon thrift outing.  I really liked the colors and the cut work in this tabletop folding screen.  I paid $6.50.

Here are two pieces of porcelain.  The dessert plate is Bavarian...

I got the plate for $2.50.  This little mustache cup is interesting.  It has no markings and seems very small and feminine for a mustache cup.  I paid $4.50.  I think the original price of $8.99 was quite high since it has no markings.

I'm quite sure this tea strainer is silver, but see no markings on it.  I find a Williams-Sonoma version on line, silver plate over brass, for $39.  I paid $1.50...

I love the etched metal cover and carving on this jewelry box.  I paid $3.50...



























I thought this was a painting on glass, especially because the marked price was $9.99.  I didn't mind what I thought were moisture marks, but once I got it in better light, I could see there was some sort of bubbling in some areas of the image that you can only see if you hold it a certain way.  It almost looks like sugar crystals and I think it's getting worse.  I may take this back.  Even at $5.00, I think it is overpriced...

Those are probably the most interesting items I found at the grand opening of the Goodwill in Longmont.  Did you rate some great thrift finds this past weekend?  Teddee
