I LOVE A BARGAIN, FINDING TREASURES ON SALE OR CLEARANCE JUST MAKES MY DAY. I WOULD RATHER GO WITHOUT SOMETHING THAN PAY FULL PRICE.
DOES THAT MEAN I AM CHEAP OR THRIFTY?
I have become a big fan of soup tureens. Over the last six or seven months I have been on the lookout for these, (only white ones will do) and am surprised at how many I have been able to find just by stopping by thrift stores and garage sales. I currently have six and I'm not sure when enough is enough. I have run out of room on this small rustic barn board hutch so I am now looking on craigslist for something a little bigger to display them on.
I'm not real sure if the one with the carrots on the top is a soup tureen or not but thought it looked right at home with this collection..
Do you collect anything? If so, I would like to know what it is and if you would like to post about your collection I would love to see and hear about it.
Thrifty, for sure! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think you're very thrifty! Would love to find some of those tureens, but you must beat me to them! I collect Depression glass creamers, butter pats, salts, Santas, Willow Tree angels, etc etc etc.
ReplyDeleteI love your collection. There is just something so pretty about all white.
ReplyDeleteCall it cheap, call it thrifty, I call it SMART girl!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your tureens. I want to paint my tureen you saw. I only want white but loved the pear design. Come back and visit anytime. :O)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Amy......totally smart shopping!! Why pay more than you need to, lol. And I am a huge, huge fan of Willow Tree. Can't get enough of them :).
ReplyDeleteOhh...I love all white pottery. I collect cookbooks and posted about it here http://tinyurl.com/yck6lno
ReplyDeletethey really are my weakness. I think being thrifty=smart!
Thank you Connie! I look forward to getting to know you better as well but I can already tell you have a wonderful heart. And you're oh so crafty ;). I put a "follow" link after my "categories" section on my blog for you to click on....even though I only have two, LOL. But they're the best :). All blog buddies are! Have a wonderful day.

this is akin to being a bum or a hobo...
ReplyDeleteI'm not concerned about labels...cheap or thifty--if I like it and can afford it, it's mine.
I bought a brand-new-with-tags-on-it Ralph Lauren collared shirt for my son today at a 2nd hand thrift store...for ONE dollar!!!!!
Can't beat that with a stick!
P.S. I collect figurines/pictures of mothers and children.
ReplyDeleteSo how cheesy is that?? Way!
Very thrifty and what a great collection you have going!!! I used to collect teddy bears, but was overrun with them. I have tons of them still in storage at this point, nowhere to put them. Right now I love monogram cups, dishes, etc.... But nothing I definitely collect.
ReplyDeleteI will have to be on the watch for you when I make my Goodwill rounds.
Hugs and love,
Sissy
I love your collection! I love displaying white pieces in my little dining room:) Love the way you have yours displayed.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Love your collection! I collect ironstone and transferware, vintage sewing notions, ephemera, just about anything that has a great vintage feel to it! I just started a weekly post on my flea market/thrift store finds. I think I'll be starting a design/craft blog soon because there is a ton of stuff I collect.
ReplyDeleteCome on over! I'll be following you, love your blog!
Thanks,

I love your tureens. I have a few and there a couple of my Mom's being held hostage by my Dad's wife that I hope will one day find a happy home with me!
