Good Haul For Her First Thrifting Adventure

~ Breathing out a huge sigh of relief~ The dishes are done, ah!!!  For the past two hours I have been ruining my nails and pruning up my hands because between my best bud and I, my counters are full of wonderful trinkets.  The Little Dude went on his adventure with Granny and Grandpa, so I am going to take advantage of this free time (I really miss him, so it's best to keep busy) and get stuff done.  First on the list, clean and price...everything!  
But before that happens, check out what The Bud found for me to sell:

She spotted this Snowflake Blue divided dish with its holder and lid.  The dish is in great shape, not a single scratch on it.  They had it marked with three separate prices; one for the lid, the stand  and the dish.  I normally am pretty mum on what I pay, but because she found it, I will tell you that they would have gotten $36 big ones out of her!  Seriously, SERIOUSLY???!!!  Thankfully she is good with words and is charming because she was able to talk them into giving it to her for the price on just one of the tags.  If it was me I would have gotten all sassy and mouthy with them and I would have walked out grumbling and empty handed. 
 
This chick goes out on her first thrifting expedition and she scores Pyrex with the lids and cradles!  It was meant to be!   I might be a sneak and keep the cradle and sell the Golden Acorns dish.  

She found more too!  I've never seen Old Town Blue on one of these pitchers before.  And this Butterfly Gold pitcher is in awesome shape.  The Colonial Mist cinderella bowl was pretty dirty and yucky, but a little bit of Bar Keepers Friend made it look like new.

She did such a great job!  I am lucky to have her on my side.  

I am gonna keep up this momentum and get some items priced.  I found a ton of awesome stuff today that I will spread out over a few posts.  Before that, I'm joining the parties at Apron Thrift GirlSir Thrift A Lot, and A Living Space.  Have a great rest of the week everyone!!!

    1. Right?! She did a great job! I love the Snowflake pattern too! I'm all excited about how cool my table is going to look this year thanks to my awesome collection of Snowflake Pyrex. Hope you guys are getting some snow up there. We got nothing over here. It stinks.
