While I spent most of Memorial Day weekend with my fingers tap-tap-tapping over my word processor, eyes roving over the ol' novel manuscript, I did take time Saturday for a bit of thrifting. And so while this Treasure Box Wednesday is a short one, it's also rather sweet.
Sweet, perhaps, like this cute Humpty Dumpty teapot I found at the Salvation Army thrift store...
Regular readers know my fondness for Alice in Wonderland, and somehow this just seemed right. He looks a bit more mild-mannered that Alice's eggman, who if you'll recall had a certain attitude. But it still makes me smile.
At the St. Vincent de Paul thrift store I uncovered this tablecloth...
Pinks, greens, burgundies and grey-blue morning glories make it perfect for my diningroom.
At the same St. Vincent de Paul, I also uncovered this cute Depression-glass-green goblet covered in flowers...
And this nifty shell pink milk glass candy dish...
And while I remember, and since we have fewer thrifted goodies this week, I thought you all would appreciate seeing the little bit of decor I'd found in the Giant Eagle grocery store of all places!Around St. Paddy's Day, we'd had some decorative holiday items there in the "Iggle." Not needing anything immediately, I waited until the items went on sale and nabbed my faves...
Like this cute tea canister...
And this framed print...
What I liked about it in particular was how much it looked like the images on my Victorian postcards for the holiday...
Well, that about puts the lid on this Treasure Box Wednesday!
