Friday's Find: Jadeite Vase

Greetings fellow thrifters! It's my favorite day of the week and I am excited to share my latest fabulous find!  I grabbed this gorgeous Jadeite vase from an estate sale, thinking it might be a reproduction. I assumed this for two reasons.  First, although I collect Jadeite, I had not seen one like it before.  Second, it was not marked on the bottom; usually Fire-King is, but not always. Guess what?! I assumed wrong!  With a little research I learned that it was manufactured by Fire-King in the 40s and that I really did get a good deal! Happy dance! Of course, my newest pretty is right at home among my collection.

Friday's Find: Pewter Chargers

Greetings fellow thrifters!  Today's find is this set of Vintage pewter charger plates.  I had long admired these at a local thrift store, but it wasn't until they were marked 75% off that the price was right!  I am hoping to feature them in my next holiday tablescape but they will be versatile for any season; rustic or elegant.
