Last week I got another dollar deal at the thrift store. The bill covered these four items:

This vintage milk glass diamond-shaped footed dish is decorated with daisies and diamond cuts. At 3 ¼" high x 4 ½" wide x 6 ½" long, it is a charming candy dish. It proved difficult to photograph with flash.

The soft blue green plate is a vintage annual made in France. Dated 1971 on the front, the reverse side reads, "Faience de St. Amand/ France/ Edition Limitee." It is 9 ¾" in diameter and is part of a "Wildlife Series" with embossed surfaces depicting deer, birds, fruit, branches and and trees. Faience is tin-glazed pottery, also known as majolica.

This vintage off-white ceramic planter is stamped on the bottom "CP-778/ USA". I like the art deco styling on this piece.

The simple white Corelle plate has a small chip on the underside of the rim. I plan to use it for meal preparation.

The simple tripod candle stand comes in handy to use with other black iron or wire pieces I have. The pink candle was free.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will return soon. I love reading your comments.

You did good at your thrift store shopping. They are all nice pieces.

Yes, Leigh, the total for the five items was one dollar, so they each cost 20 cents each!

I like the deco footed planter. I've got several of those around my house (mine are green though) and I use them for scrubbies for dishes, stamps, and another holds pens. They are quite useful!!
