Here's what I found yesterday at the Salvation Army thrift store:

four small stools -- great color!



cheese dome and two small butter dishes with domes:






I love domes -- for displays -- up on a pedestal plate and with a tableau of 'pretties' underneath.

I also found some earthenware dishes, in pretty turquoise, soft yellow, and pink -- already brought those over to the consignment shop . . . gotta make a little $$ so I can go thrifting again!

YEA, know what you mean, you kinda get attached to things. Well live with them a while and then you can decide.

Oh, Nancy -- I don't know what to do about the stools! I had purchased them for resale at the consignment shop -- thought about making little round pads to tie onto the top, or putting plants in vintage planters on top and selling them all -- but now I just love them too much. By April, they may go in the shop, however. . . .

Good finds Katie, what are you going to do with the stools?

The stools are great - what a find. Nowadays you would pay big money to have that worn paint look on stools. You lucked out big time.

AWESOME finds, Katie! Sending jealous hugs and high fives....LOVE domes, too! And the color of those stools, too. Actually, I just acquired a big glass cloche that my sweet sis in law bought for me during her visit this week, when she saw me drooling briefly. I have a couple at home in Norfolk but not here, so am looking forward to making a litle vignette of my own. Keep shopping and sharing your finds with us! Nance

Cool stools! And I was going to comment on how nicely they went with that rug

Cute stuff! I love the color of the stools and the butter dishes are so sweet. Great finds! We are taking the kids to the Goodwill this morning for a little "treasure hunting" and of course, some wool sweaters!
