Today I’m showing some finds from my trip this past Monday to one of my favorite thrift store .I love thrift stores. Let me loose in a thrift store and I can spend hours in there. Not only do I love and appreciate the great bargains on everything from books to clothes to housewares, I also really enjoy the digging process of going through all the items available for sale. Finding an unexpected treasure amidst racks and shelves of items that was formerly loved and used by others makes me very happy.
Here’s what I brought home!
My new thing to collect are teacups!
I love English Bone China, with a floral motif of some kind. These ones I found in my local thrift store for $3.00 each. It felt and looked like it was worth much more. There are so satisfying to look at. I think of them as little floral jewels.
The plan is to have a garden tea party once I have enough cups.
I bought more thing but they are not pink. I will show the rest of my finds
on Monday. I bought really cute things. And I spent a total of $21.00.
Remember, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Pray for all affected by it.

Pink is the color of universal love. Pink is a quiet color. Lovers of beauty favor pink. A pink carnation means "I will never forget you".
