This blue and white mug came from the Discovery Shop as well. I like it for ice water.
This Faberware Stoneware bowl is from the Goodwill. I think I paid a dollar for it. The pattern is called "English Garden."
This plate came from a thrift store that specializes in cottage items. The woman behind the counter said it was probably from the 1930's. She got flustered when I told her the plate has "microwave safe" on the back. I bought it anyway because I'm slowly replacing my current boring plates with cute thrift store finds.
The egg holder, vintage linens, and doilies are some of the items I purchased for the vintage swap. You can see all of the items I sent to Deb on her blog, Garage Sale Gal.
My birthday is next month, and I'm saving up to take myself on a little thrift store shopping spree. I can't wait!

Did you notice I changed my Blogger image? The new image is from a picture my talented sister Feltypants painted of me a few years ago. Here is the whole painting. I'm on the couch knitting with my cats Charlie and Apollo close by.
Now, just picture her 70 pounds heavier and voila! That's me.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

OOoo thanks for sharing your thrift shop treasures. What great finds. The plate is so pretty and I love the teapot.
I love the painting by your sister. You are obviously are a very crafty and talented family. I really like her style.
As for the few extra pounds, Stacy, don't worry or dwell on the past, just continue with Woollywotnots' Move-It Monday and you'll be the shape you want in no time! :-) If I can do it, anyone can! :-)
I love the teapot! What great finds, I love finding fabulous bargains!xxxx
Love your treasures! The painting is just precious. Have a blessed Saturday:)
Ha! Microwave safe from the 1930s - I think that little faux pas just made my day (I'm grumpy today - I was supposed to go to sales with a friend and she stood me up. bah.)
You found some great items and I love the painting your sister did!
