I had to pop into the post office yesterday. I was only a block away from a thrift store so I took a peak. Yippee! I found a treasure! Apparently this little daffodil is a posy holder. It is quite small. Rather like a large egg cup and in fact that is what Husband thought it was. It isn't. It is for posies. I love it. Carlton Ware from the 1930s. And a steal at $4.50!!!!!
This morning I found another treasure. A large Anchor and Hocking milk glass fruit bowl. $1.50. Woo hoo! It is larger than a dinner plate and has a pattern of grapes and leaves. This made me most happy. Not as happy as my posie holder but very happy indeed!
I also bought Husband a present. Apparently there are 700 pie recipes contained in this book. Published in 1965. I think they might have found a few more pie recipes if they tried a little harder.
So there you have it. Linking up with Sophie's Flea Market Finds! Have a lovely rest of your day!
I am actually not convinced that you have time to hold down a job with all your thrifting and sewing and aurifil appearances!
