Dream Find! - Vintage CNC Ceramic Whales

I had this secret little wish--that I could find a set of vintage ceramic whales for my hubby.  I was showing him pictures of the collectible vintage marine wall plaques on ebay, telling him about the astronomical prices.  He loved the whales when I showed him--got all excited.  Well, I figured that was as close as he was going to get to them.  Low and behold I found a set!  One of the babies is missing, but do we care?  These are labeled CNC Los Angeles.   Apparently they are the only marine critters the company offered.  Norcrest has a set, but I must say, I think these are much cuter!!  I washed, wired and hung them up over the track lights in the bathroom. There's a whole 9 feet of space for more fish!

A Pyrex Find and a Pyrex Trade

I found the bamboo cradle for the Dynasty 475 promotional.  Truth be told, I've be scouring the thrift's baskets sections for months!  It finally happened--I found one.  And then, I traded for the dish.  I was secretly wanting this one.  LOL

Thrifty Vintage Finds - Franciscan Starburst!

Went hunting yesterday for vintage goodies! It's been so dry lately.  First stop, Franciscan Starburst platter. Great price and minty! Score! I figured if I didn't find anything else, it didn't matter.  This is my third piece of Starburst in years.  I'm still in disbelief!

Pyrex Pendant - Pink Gooseberry (#4)

Squeezed in putting this together this morning!

Vintage Kitsch Finds - Honey Pot

Just a couple little sweet finds. Not that we NEED another cow creamer, but no way I could tell hubby he couldn't have it. Little honey pot with two bees, just so adorable. Marked Japan. Likely came with a little spoon.

Pyrex Display on my Kitchen Table - Norcrest Owls

New little display on my kitchen table. Found the 3-owl piece yesterday at the thrift! Yay!

My Thrifty Find of the Day - Descoware

Was out thrifting today, didn't expect any Pyrex, wished for Cathrineholm but got Descoware (of Belgium)--don't mind if I do! This 11" Markley skillet is in fantastic condition. Made my day!
