So I haven't won a million dollars yet but I am working on it! It has been working for all my thrifting though! I have found amazing things lately.
Look at this haul from the Sunday swap-meet!
Plates, tureen and trio from the Alfred Meakin "Elegance" dinner set that I collect. The first time I have ever seen this pattern in "real" life.
Also a pretty green enamel bowl painted with pink roses, my two fave colours and fave flower!
The next two books in the "Shopaholic" series which I have been dying to read. Every time I have gone to buy them at the shops they have been out of stock or I don't have any spare cash.
Beautiful vintage tray with lots of roses!
The "Kai und Mia" book is a quirky gift for my brother, Kai.
I was over the moon when I spotted this thermos. Brand new and only $3! I collect these, I think this is number six.
And I couldn't believe it when I got these salt and pepper shakers, they are wooden and just the shade of pink I love!
The wicker mirror is a great shade of pink too. Probably needs to be repainted but who can complain for fifty cents?
Love the secret- it does work :)
ReplyDeleteAnd what gorgeous finds- although I want that mirror hehe! Will have to try it on my sales and thrifty looks I think
I love your plates and tureen, those are so pretty. I love pink too. I also love your pink kitchen scale, it looks so cool and vintage.
ReplyDeleteI agree the secret works, it may take awhile but it's worth it.

Those thermoses are cute. Where do they usually sell them down there? (Before they go to the thrift.) We don't really have anything like those around here, but I think I saw them on Pearl River Mart a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, O.K, you did WELL!!! Love the new pink items! Lori
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you get to go to swap-meets for this sort of stuff - I thought swap meets were for car parts. Jelous.
ReplyDeleteWow Peta! You got some great items! I love that Alfred Meakin "Elegance" dinner set. Very pretty. I have a thing for pretty china and dinnerware. Loved the enamel bowl too! PS - I am still imagining how I am going to live out my Million Dollars that is coming my way!

Your lovely little praying pink girls in your title caught my eye. I LOVE these girls and have a fondness for them as I now am the owner of my grandmothers. They are the sweetest little creatures.

Dear Peta, My mum has things to make you drooool! She has a full set of elegence rose in PINK. Her father-in-law had a big win at races in late 50s/early 60s and bought her a pink, his wife a yellow (like yours) one daughter a blue and another a green. At one stage Mum nearly smashed hers with a hammer she was so angry with him. We lived in a pink house, had a pink FB HOLDEN with pink fins, a pink bath and basin, my bedroom was also pink and most of my clothes. Needless to say I DO NOT LIKE PINK MUCH NOW. Luckily I have 2 sons, but the pink MEAKIN IS VERY beautiful. Just thought you might be interested Bye for Now
