Hello All :) I have been off since last Tuesday and boy, it is not going to be easy to get back to the ol' grind tomorrow! I was sick last week with an upper respiratory infection so that was a bummer. Even though I was feeling better by Saturday, the heat was awful so we decided not to head to Richmond and to just thrift locally. The first stop was SALVO.
I saw this beautiful white pitcher sitting on the shelf:
I picked it up, wondering if it was real English ironstone, flipped it over to see if it was marked and saw this:
Yep, it's real - LOL! Not only was I thrilled to find my first piece of ironstone, I actually laughed out loud that the answer to the question in my head was answered so clearly :) It was $10. I also picked this up:
It is an ashtray but will live in my sun room as art. It was $1 and so was this plastic tortoise shell frame:
Next, we headed to GW. This next find is my favorite of the day:
It's a fruit pie vent or pie bird! Isn't it precious!?
I have been wanting one of these --which is hysterical because I have NEVER baked a pie in my life unless it was a Mrs. Smith's -- but who knows, with this sweet little birdie, maybe I'll be baking up a storm! It came from GW and was $1. This chair was $8:
It needs some work but it's super solid and is going to look amazing in white with a re-upholstered seat!
These next items came from GW also:
After GW, we headed over to Two Times New, a resale/thrift mall. Dan and I found this beautiful china cabinet. I've been looking for one --Craigslist and SALVO --but just haven't found the right one...until this one:

So that's all for me this week. If the weather breaks, we'll head to Richmond this weekend --yep, it's barely Monday night and I'm already thinking WEEKEND ;) I'm linking up!
