...and a Dash-o-Purple

In keeping with the 'supplementary color scheme' of our Dining Room (recall the orange-green-purple of Christmas), may I present, yet another, piece of Royal Haeger which is part of our V-day scheme of things! This is my first piece of Royal Haeger in the Amethyst Crackle Glaze - an Xmas present from DH this year!!

As for the 'incoming stuff' front...
With our temps peaking on Tuesday into the 40°s, I ventured to SIX thrifts!! OH, I am feeling Spring - though I KNOW this is all just a tease. The thrifts were looking rather sparse, but it was good to be on the hunt - and somehow I managed to uncover a few goodies...
A double-strand sweater clip (.86¢) and a Tracy Porter/SAKS plate that I'm hoping will do well in resale...

a 'VERA for Burlington' pillowcase in a !FUN! vibrant flower print. This really makes me smile! Then when I found a 'matching' turq/green glass bead necklace - I knew that, too, had to come home with me! Yes, I have an abundance of 'jewelry love', but just look at these luscious colors....

Don't they scream TROPICAL with their colors of: crystal clear waters and beach and sky and palm trees?!?!
Remember the red silicone heart shaped cupcake pan that I picked up a few weeks back? I had to give it a try with some Choc. chip muffins... just mouth size... devoured in no time!

The scarf and necklace were definitely meant to be together and that delicate little sweater clip is so pretty!

Oh man, I am dooling over those heart-shaped cupcakes!

Oh my goodness, this is Austinite (from YSQ) and I just came to your blog from Shara's---I'm so glad you started one! Your pictures of your finds are great-I'm getting thrifting envy with each post I read/picture I see. I LOVE Vera pillowcases, and yours is especially vibrant and awesome! (One I have is like yours, but with a pale yellow flower, not bright blue). LOVE the beautiful necklace and beads, and the sweater clip. I would definitely wear a cute vintage sweater clip! Keep finding those treasures!
