Some 'new' TS treasures

I did a little TS shopping yesterday and found several treasures, as usual.

I got 6 of the rose plates for .42c ea. at Good Will. They are Hallmark by Sakura.

The photo frame was orig. $24.99, marked down to $12.98 and I paid $1.69, also GW.

The little cup and saucer holder was .29c.

The 3 blue plastic goblets were .75c ea., both of these finds were at the Humane Society TS.

Now I need to find another blue goblet. One of them had a Walmart price tag on the bottom, so I hope there are enough out there so another will turn up.

I just love the rose plates!!

TTFN,

Candy

Candy, great finds! Love all of them. Cute frame and the rose plates are wonderful. The blue goblet looks like glass in the picture. Hope you find another goblet. I've seen these plastic ones at stores but never thought they were worth the prices they want.

What is the brass holder in the picture? Is it for the c & s?

Happy for you and your new treasures.

Well, thanks for the responses, I will try to answer a few. Yes, there were veggies, beans, lettuce, brussel sprouts in my flower bed. I intend moving that bed as soon as I get the greenhouse up, and it will be almost in the same spot, just run the other way. Theres no electricity there for the chandie so its just for looks, and yes, I pulled the copper globe things off the light strings and hot glued them to the top of the candle/light sockets. I'm not sure how long the beads will last there, the wind usually blows from behind us, so that shouldn't be a problem. Besides, there plastic and probably would be in a land fill for a thousand years, should last a couple here..lol And they start out light green on the top and get darker towards the bottom. Not easy to photograph. The bird feeder is a 5 gallon water bottle, I just cut a rectangle out of the front leaving enough to keep the seeds in and the birdies can get into, and run a large eye up from the bottom and attach it to the finial thingy on the shade. It really glows in the sun, and should help keep the sunflower seeds dry and the squirells out. Yes, thats a cast iron stove insert I picked up from a yard sale last year. We burn wood almost every evening in spring and fall/winter. Deliberately left it to rust. I cover it with flowers in the summer. I put the windows along the bottom just to cut the wind at Thanksgiving last year, and liked them so much there permanant now. I use a regular indoor old rug under the "living room" area, and thats about it. I am so glad you all like it. We live in the country, so can do much as we wish. My neighbor thinks I'm a bit tacky, he's the "nothing but grass and flowers" mind. Which is fine for them, but I love "tacky and cute". I also love to repurpose things.

You made them all fit right in Jane, they look wonderful! Yep, the bunny is for anytime of the year, he's darling. These ironstone pieces sure go well with your red/white too. Wish I had a basement too, although Kathleen oftens moans about having to carry things up and down her's. I still remember when Judith was going to put storage shelves in her garage for the "overflow", remember? Luvs

More of that beautiful pink, love it all. The frame is so cute. Seeing that the rose plates reminded me that the other day at a thrift store I was able to buy a whole set the the Sakura dishes with the stars like yours. I was so excited, they weren't as good a deal as you find though.

Punk, the silver holder is a cup and saucer holder. The original price for the goblet was $1.88, so even at full price it wasn't too expensive.

Jeanne, I have a new granddaughter due August 18, so I'm pretty sure I will find a cute picture to fill that frame!

Marlene, they had a display set up with 2 of those plates at the front of the store and I took them right off of the table and then when I got back to the plate area, there were the rest! Woohoo!! I did take 2 other plates back to replenish their display. I did find 3 of the goblets, I just need a 4th now.

Nana, the thrill of the hunt is one of the reasons I like TS's so much. I never know what I will find, but I always seem to find something.

Frou, so glad you found some of those pretty star plates. They can be used for a lot of different themes.

TTFN,
Candy

You found some wonderful things, especially those rose plates! I'd have snatched those beauties up for sure. The blue goblet sure doesn't look plastic.

I can't get over your GW prices. Ours here have gotten rather high the past year, even on half off day, twice a month, it can be hard to find things that cheap. Tho as you said, the thrill of the hunt is the big thing...and scoring a real bargain is icing on the cake.

More good finds, of course I love the rose plates the best. The frame is really sweet too, and will be perfect with a picture of the new baby girl. I had found one of the cup/saucer holders and love it--have it in the china cabinet. I agree, the fun of going "treasure shopping" is just in seeing what you can find. I need to get out and hit some of ours since it's been awhile--hope I haven't missed out on allot of good stuff. As Jeanne asked in another post, where are you finding to store all these new goodies you are collecting?

Candy, I'll keep an eye out on my end of town for more of your blue goblets if you keep an eye out on your end of town for more purple stems for me lol!! The rose plates and the frame are great scores. Can't wait to see what you do!

Karen,
the GW stores here are .49c ea for dishes and glassware. Seniors can get a 15% discount anyday and 25% on Mon. They do have 2 of the 50% Sat/month, but I am usually playing golf then. Some of their other prices can be high, so it just requires careful selection when shopping.

Jane,
I am so excited about her arrival, so will be a very proud Grandma showing her off!!

Luvs,
I have dishes in cabinets in my sunroom, garage, dining room, and of course, most are in the basement. I do have to keep rearranging to make more room, but I can't help myself when I find dishes for less than 50c ea that are so pretty. In fact, I just got some lovely lavender side plates and matching cream and sugar at GW Mon. so they were .37c ea!

Kath,
Deal!! Email me a close up picture of what you are seeking as you know I have a network of stores that I shop!

TTFN,
Candy
