Treasure shopping 101

16 years ago

I've been treasure shopping again and found these International Silver Candleabras NIB at GW, $5.95 each. The price on each box was $25.

Then, another teapot, $3.39. Chicken and teapot combined, couldn't resist.

Then I bought 4 of these divided dishes made in Portugal for $1.50 each at ARC. I took 2 different pictures to try to show the details.

And finally, the black jersey sheet that is the backdrop for the pictures and I plan to use as a tablecloth, was $0.99

TTFN,

You had a successful day of "treasure shopping" for sure! Those candleabras are really nice. I didn't know they made special dishes for artichokes! They sure are neat. And you can never have too many chickens, everyone loves them. Thanks for sharing your treasures with us.

Dishcindee, nice to have you joining in and welcome to the forum. Hope you will stay and play with us. ;o)

Jeanne, Thanks, I just liked them because they were so different.

DishCindee, Welcome. the ladies here are a wonderful group and I know you will love being part of the gang. BTW, thanks for telling me what the white dishes were. I just like them because they are unique.

Luvs, I didn't know either so glad DC joined us to tell me what I bought.

Kath, thanks for the link. I travel around the state for my job, mostly the Front Range, so I shop thrift stores all over. I don't discriminate, LOL!

OA, sorry you don't have ARC's, but I also shop GW, Humane Society and any other TS's I can find. I always seem to find some treasure I can't live without. LOL!! (DH is not LOL!, HA)

Punk, I'm a sucker for silver, especially when it is brand new and so inexpensive.

Karen, thanks, I too, learn interesting facts on here.

Have a great weekend everybody!
TTFN,
