Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Lately I have come across some great yard sales in my neighborhood and I've scored a nice haul of bargains, including vintage English transferware to add to my collection
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! This week I scored some gorgeous pieces in the English Enoch Wedgwood Oriental Pheasants pattern. This large serving platter is absolutely beautiful!
TGITF Friends! We've finally had some weather that feels like fall and I have loved it! Ready for this week's fabulous finds? Several of this week's vintage treasures are from the same estate sale, starting with this gorgeous vintage crystal bead necklace...
TGITF Friends! I'm always on the lookout for vintage plates to add to my transferware gallery wall, so I was thrilled to come across two patterns I haven't seen before. The larger one is Johnson Brothers Old Flower Prints and the smaller one is Myott, Son & Co. England Bonnie Dundee and the colors are perfect with my collection. {See the evolution of my plate gallery wall, here.}
TGITF, Friends! Okay...you see the plates in the photo and are probably thinking: Seriously, MORE transferware? You may even be wondering what one person could possibly do with so many plates! Well today I'm going to show you exactly what I did with these lovelies I found during my shopping trip with Cecilia B, plus others from both recent and past fabulous finds...
Hi there, Friends! Have you had a relaxing weekend? The last few weeks have been quite busy so I chose a quiet weekend at home. Puttered in the garden, caught up on a little reading and binge-watched Netflix ... but first, tea!
Life is like a cup of tea, it's all in how you make it.
TGITF Friends! The weather has been simply gorgeous here and I would swear even the thrift store shelves seem to sense that it is almost spring. I fell in love with this little bird shaped bud vase...
TGITF Friends! Here we go again...My name is Cecilia and I'm a dishaholic. Yep, this week's fabulous feature is more vintage dishes. How could I pass on a gorgeous Johnson Brother's Friendly Village set just waiting for me at a recent yard sale? Not an antique shop-a yard sale! I was so excited to find this covered casserole...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! I've confessed to you before that I am a dish-aholic. I don't keep my vintage ware stored in a cabinet, no ma'am I eat off it daily. I have treasured pieces displayed as some would showcase art. I even use thrift store china in my garden. Today's fabulous find is my latest love--transferware!

I adore decorating and gardening but as a single parent have always needed to do both on a budget. Thrifting-- my all inclusive verb for shopping resale shops, thrift stores, estate and yard sales is not just my hobby but rather a lifestyle. It supports my habit of collecting Vintage dishes and Pyrex and over the years has proven invaluable for decorating and re-decorating. I am passionate about transforming and repurposing cast away furniture and love furnishing my home with pieces that have their own history. It has saved me more pennies than I can count and is the perfect solution to almost any dilemma. Your child comes home from school and informs you that he must dress like his favorite super hero TOMORROW? Your daughter can only wear modest knee length skirts to respect the local culture on her upcoming mission trip? Volunteer to host the next ladies event but then realize you don't own enough matching glasses? The answer to these questions and so many more: THRIFTING! Last, but certainly not least--thrifting is all about re-cycling, re-imagining and re-creating; the best way to shop green!
