After my friend "bailed"on me today, I ended up going to the Indian Market and getting some more garbanzo beans and also got some rosewater and Madras Curry Powder.
I popped in next door to the thrift shop ( a different one) and found a little creamer (Syracuse China!) to match the Irish tea pot i got at the other thrift store last week. It's not an exact match, but I think they look sweet together.
I also found one of those glass domes that sits on a marble base to store and serve cheese
the item I was the most excited about today was this silk Liberty of London scarf!!!!!
It was one dollar!
All told, I spent under 5 dollars.
Again, sorry about the terrible photos. It is 21x21/orange background with navy, celery and white with a machine hemmed edge. the previous owner did not love this scarf. It has some watermarks on it and a few stretched areas (which are small). It had been washed (:() ...WHY????) So, I hand washed it and ht ironed it flat. It looks pretty good now.
I will definitely love it.
I picked up my 5 dollar long wool winter coat at the dry cleaners, and it looks so good. It cost 3x the $$ to clean it, but hey, who cares????
I just re-read this and it sounds like I am a thrift store fanatic, which I'm really not...
I've just been in the mood to look around at old things lately, and I've been getting inspired by some of the things I'm seeing.
