lust for lusterware

I had another amazing thrifting day this week!

I found two beautiful, PERFECT lusterware cups with plates (hand painted in Germany) as well as this sweet little vase.
If I decide I don't want to keep them I can easily sell them on e-bay for 10x what I paid.
The cup sets are so lovely, though, I imagine cheese spread in them (how about bleu cheese balls with walnuts and dried cranberries?) with crackers fanned out on the little plates, as appetizers for Thanksgiving.

I also found a Columbia Sportswear parka for Maxwell, in perfect condition, as well as a really nice Ralph Lauren pull over and khaki's! NICE!

She's Thrifty

I had a couple of good scores thifting this week.

I found these two champagne flutes- I have 9 of them already (a couple got broken over the years).

I bought them a couple of them about 15 years ago at Pottery Barn, I think they were $7 a piece at the time, which was really steep for me, my boyfriend at the time gave me the rest as a birthday gift.

I was delighted then, and I still love them.

They are heavy Hungarian glass, with beautiful subtle color, which this photo doesn't do justice to.

These two are blue and gold, the ones I have are crimson and gold, but I am still happy to have them, and at $1.99 each, they were a good buy.

I used to love Pottery Barn glassware, years ago, but recently they don't have anything that cool, just very boring ordinary stuff, nothing from Hungary or the Czech Republic, which is what I really like. Makes it easy not to shop!

I also found a copy of The princess bride and a nice pair of jeans for me (which were bootcut, which I HATE! but 10 minutes on the sewing machine took care of that!), for $5.
