Thrift Store Treasures

I like visiting thrift stores around town. We have a few. I am not ashamed of purchases I make in theses thrifty but dirty little stores. I will wear a used designer piece of clothing without shame. If it can be washed and its not been worn out, I'll take it. It was the perfect place for me to go when I needed a certain style of clothing for a movie shoot I was an extra in once.

I dont always look at the clothes. My main reason for visiting these stores are for the odd pieces of dishes. Im a sucker for Pyrex and Corning ware. I think I have enough now with at least one of every size bowl and casserole dish.

This past weekend I visited a thrift store nearest me. It's run by a local church so I know the money goes for a good cause.

I have been looking for a cookie jar. I found just what I have been looking for.

This is a large glass biscuit jar with a sealing lid. Im not sure if its vintage or not but I got if for a three dollar deal. It's been washed and sanitized. I'll be using it to put my homemade biscotti in once the weather cools and I feel like turning on the oven.

On down the road, We stopped at the Good Will thrift store. During this stop, I found these darling little french dipping saucers.

These work perfect for dipping my sushi in soy sauce.

These tiny four inch fish saucers would also make great tea bag holders or lemon dish. I think they are adorable and great steal at a quarter each.

There a couple more items I'm in search of. I want to find a glass, pedestal, covered cake plate and a vintage metal bread box. Sure I could probably find these items in a department store but that takes all the fun out of looking for treasures.
