Today I am linking up with the Pink Pagoda's Blue and White Bash. Head on over to see loads of inspiration.
I love to score great goodies in thrift stores but my local pickings are slim. I browse, get discouraged, and quit for a while. Then I have some sort of mission, like the ORC, and I hop right back in the saddle.
I found the vase and shallow bowl above several weeks ago and bought them for my TV room.
A pair of beaker vases from The Pink Pagoda was on my mantel but their way back to the table by the front door.
I needed some blue and white for the ORC and I am keeping the budget small because I never know when she will just stash everything in a closet. I went to every thrift and consignment store in my area at least twice a week. Nuthin! I mean nuthin! Just as I was about to throw in the towel when a bridge closure and detour took me past a consignment store that I had forgotten about.
They had oodles. Some was unmarked and I asked for a price. Mind you, I was trying to contain my excitement so as not hear an inflated price. Instead she cut the price in half on the marked ones and gave me the ginger jar for $10. I loved saying, "I'll take them all."
Some of these I am keeping for myself and some will be a part of the ORC for a certain budding watercolor artist.
