Playing along with
Her Library Adventures meme this week. Head there to see other fthrifted finds.
I picked up a set of 3 melamine cups and saucers for $5. They will be perfect for picnics. There is something special about those deco-esque handles... they remind me of Dame Edna.
They have found their way onto these almost overcrowded blue-green-duck-egg themed kitchen shelves. This little corner in my kitchen makes me pretty happy.
And for $1 each, this set of glass bowls. To be honest... we have so many bowls already. Aside from their colour and form I don't really know why I bought them. oops..
but they sure are pretty!
We all know why you bought them love... you have a problem. ;)
ReplyDeleteI just adore the cups - and that cute space in your kitchen..? Yum!
Yes the handles look like Dame Edna's glasses. Lovely colour. I love the bowls - great colours. Mum has a set of orange ones that we usd to use all the time as kids. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! And those bowls for $1 each, well you just can't pass them up at that price!
ReplyDeleteThe tea cups are adorable and look perfect there - it doesn't look overcrowded - there are still gaps to fill if you van see daylight is my motto!
ReplyDeleteThe bowls are so cheerful even stodgy porrige ( which I don't love but eat 'cos it is good for me) will taste good out of those!
Love the colours - how can you not be cheery when you enter your kitchen and see these pretties. Great finds. Don't seem to get these kind of colours at our Oppies down here Not sure why. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI would be the same, I dont need bowls but bright coloured ones always find a place in my kitchen!
Oh wow! I love that shelf, looks so fabulous, those pieces look so amazing together! And who could resist such pretty coloured bowls.

The shelf really is amazing! My kitchen would love a corner like this, but I have three very inquisitive kitties who wouldn't let it look pretty for long...xx
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tracey! Thought I'd pop over and check out your blog - always lovely to meet fellow thrift addicts :-)
ReplyDeleteI must say I'm really very jealous of these melamine cups and saucers - but most of all I LOVE the kitchen shelves you've put them on. They are fantastic.... I've always wanted nice 50's shelves with corners - very special.
