My head did a 360 yesterday when at Goodwill I found the old yellow tin canisters. They have the sweetest painted flowers on them! The complete set was only 6.99! I thought I don't care if I don't find anything else........ I am a happy woman. My thrifty mojo was going strong though... because I also found the old plaid picnic basket for 6.00 and the aqua blue trays! They were .50 a piece and the little dog and glass seashells. The cheese plates I had seen online before and had always admired them. I only took two of a 4 piece set. Found the little glass pitcher? Not sure if that is what it is but it has a little lip to pour something. It has the word "ours" etched on it. Does anyone know what it was used for? I have seen them before but not with words on them. Also found some pretty plates and two old santa mugs not shown. Anyways this maybe one of my last hauls with winter coming so it ended well. Our thrift stores in the local vicinity slow down quite a bit (not as many people donating) during the Winter. Hope everyone is doing well on this almost Autumn weekend. Happy weekend all! xoxo, cherry

Wow you found some great things!
I hit several garage sales this morning, they were bad. I did find some things at a local antique shop, I posted them on my site. Have a great weekend

I agree with Robin! Those canisters are to die for. And I love those trays. My sister has a pitcher very similar to the one in your picture and it has her last name etched on it just as that one is. Maybe it was the owner's last name??
Great finds!
Love,

I love that picnic basket!!! What a bargain.
You found some really neat stuff!! I never seem to find stuff like that. I love the blue trays.
What great finds! Those trays are adorable and those canisters - what a steal at that price! You definately had your mojo working :)

Hey there Cherry! Please email me at grneyedraven3@hotmail...you WON! And tell me what cookbook you want! Please email ASAP so I can get it in the mail before I start working 3 12 hour shifts! Sorry to post here but looked for an email but didn't find one! Congrats!
Hugs!
Wow! Great job!
Looks like you found the best stuff yet at the thrift store! I was there this weekend, but it was a bust! Better luck next time. Love the trays and the cannister set!
Have a great day!

Your cannister set is a find indeed! I really like the trays too.
What a haul! I absolutely love those aqua trays! and the plaid tin "basket", gorgeous!
It looks like you had a good day....love all of your sweet treasures! I went to a few sales this weekend and found some great things as well. I'm hoping to post about them this week.
Oh, my dearest Cherry, how I have missed you to!! Looks like you have been having some fun. Can't believe your finds - I would have been arrested for doing the happy dance in aisle five to the point of distracting the other customers! I live in the Northern top part of Idaho and was AMAZED at how LESS expensive the thrift stores were in the Cali Bay Area! Plus, the Cali stores had incredible stuff! Nothing that I could haul home on Southwest though, dang it. Lovies - Esther
What a productive thrifting day! I don't often get that lucky at the Goodwill. Those canisters would look so great in my kitchen. I need to keep my eyes pealed for something like that.
Wow! Our Goodwill never has things like this! Great finds and love the trays and picnic basket. That dog and those canisters are fun, too! Makes me want to get out there and go hunting!!

You did good! I have one of your cheese plates - the other isn't one of my 4. I'm enjoying my time here - I'll have to remember you!

Love your finds Sweet Cherry! I would love to have that yellow canister set and the red basket...CONGRATULATIONS!
I LOVE the plaid picnic basket! My parents had one just like it when I was young. I look but never find one that is affordable! I need to get by my Goodwill more often!! : )
Hugs,
