...Wed. & Thurs.?!?

(isn't this some of the greatest contact paper ever? .50¢)
I was recently informed that in the area of Ohio we are roadtripping to this weekend, Garage Sales are normally held on Wednesdays and Thursdays!! What's up with that??? I had big hopes of finding some hidden treasures while in what was once known as The Pottery Capital of The World , home to some of the GREATS like McCoy, Homer Laughlin, Weller, Roseville, Hall and MANY MANY MORE!!

To get a quick fix, before my l-o-n-g weekend (sans saling!!), I made a stop at one of my favorite thrifts Thursday...

These retro 'burlap' cups keep calling out to me - as if I don't already have a shelf full of four different styles! At .10¢ each, how could I turn my back on them?


Some Christmas Love - also at .10¢ ea.



Look what was sitting on top of the linen basket! A set of SIX pristine VERA napkins ^insert Happy Dance^ ! (.20¢ ea)


Last, but far from least... A square VERA scarf (.75¢). Kinda reminds me of my peacock feather header... kinda.

Now I must go pack. Soon I will be picked up for our journey to the shores of Lake Erie. Hmmm... if I pack quick, I might be able to fit in a couple of Friday sales!

What fun, we had those burlap glasses and those Vera Napkins growing up...
Thanks for letting me in on "The TAo of Pooh"- I added that to the end of the post...

Great finds at even better prices! Have a safe and wonderful trip. I can see the headline of the local newspaper now..."Pottery Queen Visits Pottery Capital of the World"!

Thanks for stopping by Love2...I'm not a huge blue person either, but this table literally shouted "Must..have...Me!!" as I pulled up to the thrift. Anything that makes this heart thump like that? Gotta bring it home...I do have some blue glass that I love, mainly old cobalt, so there's room...now, if I could just find room for my table. :o} Have a great week *e*
