More findings....

A vignette of my thrifted treasures... Everything on top of the microwave and on the wall cabinet have been thrifted for $ 1.00 dlls of less each.. As well as the rooster lamp ( My Boricua picked that up by Himself)



Yellow mugs with bunnies made in Portugal. I think the little "bucket" is for matches??? is made in China, its so cute. I probably paid $ 1.00 dlls for each.



These mugs are made in China. In the bottom it reads Sakura Oneida.

My recent find....


We were going to the mall and got hungry, we decided to get pizza, we turned around and found a thriftyshopper, ( my favorite chain of thrifstores ). We got the pizza, parked the car at the parking lot of the thrifstore, ate and left the kids and teenagers in the car while we went to check it out...

I was a little disappointed, the prices were a little high, I really didn't see anything I liked and then I saw this pitcher, it was marked 1.99 dlls. It's not vintage or retro, it's made in china, he he he, but I love the colors.

My broken treasures....





I broke the blue dip dish by accident, my youngest daughter broke the green planter. First I thought I could glue them back, but there were several little pieces missing. Oh well, another excuse to go thrifting, he he he....

My finds






I was very very happy when I found the atomic era dish, that's the only I have : (
The yellow ying yang dish is marked as made in California USA and I love it. A few days ago I broke the blue bowl for dip or salsa, I wanted to cry, I saw one in green in one blog. My absolutely favorite is the last one, I found the bowl first, and weeks later the three bowls.
