Yesterday I went and did some errands and while out I decided to hit my favorite thrift stores. The prices here in CA. are kinda high actually but in this one particular shop, they have some really, really nice stuff. One woman who works there told me they have some awesome donors. We get alot of pretty rich folks in this area that regularly redecorate and such so I think that's why they get this stuff. So yesterday I found that batter bowl up there made by Phaltzcraft. I thought I got a deal paying $4.99 cuz Ive priced batter bowls around. But I went to the Phaltzcraft site and saw some plain ones on clearance for $6.99. So ok I didn't pay shipping but not on sale they are $24.99.
Ive wanted one for awhile tho and this is a really nice big one. Don't know if you can see it but it has pale blue and pink stripes around the rim and at the base.
Then I went next door to Goodwill. Ive been wanting a nice pottery pitcher for flowers and things. This matches many of my pottery bowls nicely so I had to snag it. It was $3.99 but its dishwasher and oven safe. That's good considering how much junk is out there from China that you cant use that way.
After the last power outage here, when I found out 6 candles barely made a dent in the lack of light situation here at nite, I thought about oil lamps. Most are old fashioned and I figured once I got to Oregon, Id find a few to keep around for emergencies. But I spotted this one and bought it now. It was $2.99 and is hand blown glass. It still had the $14.00 Pottery Barn sticker on it. Its pretty enough for me to leave out all the time.
