Blue Monday is sponsored by our gracious Sally at Smiling Sally.
This post is also for Today’s Thrifty Treasures hosted by Rhoda at Southern Hospitality.
On a recent visit to my consignment shop I found a blue and white ceramic table lamp costing $2.38. I have placed it on the breakfast table, and turn it on when I want softer light in the kitchen than the bright ceiling lights. It is hooked up to an extension cord with an on-and-off switch on the floor, operated by one’s foot.
For now, a white shade has been borrowed from another lamp not in use, until I can buy a smaller, more suitable one.
This oval pressed glass platter was $4.75.
I like the pattern around the border,
and the starburst in the center. (The camera angle makes it look distorted.)
Another pineapple item for my collection is this crystal dish which cost $1.13. It can be used as a candy or nut dish.
This eight-piece set of ceramic shakers with tiny pink flowers and gilt tops cost $2.76. There are four individual salt and pepper sets.
These are vintage and are in their original box.
Last is a pretty blue tablecloth for a round table cost $1. I found this at one of the thrift shops in town.
It has pretty yellow tulips and green leaves.
It was nice to have you visit today. Do come again as soon as you can, and do leave a comment. I love to read your comments.Enjoy more Blue Monday posts at Sally’s blog, Smiling Sally. Also, please visit Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for more thrifty treasures.

ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to purchase beautiful things with that price. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! You might want to do a little search on your oval dish. I think it might be Miss America Depression Glass. If so, you got a fabulous bargain! I have a few pieces of pink Miss America.
ReplyDeleteI love those salt and peppers!
I have just loaded your link. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeletePat,
ReplyDeleteYou are right…I looked up the Anchor Hocking Miss America pattern and yes, that is what my platter is. Thanks for the alert...I was completely unawwares of the pattern.

Carrie, you really have some good finds here. I think my favorite is the oval dish. It looks like depression glass to me, but I could be wrong. Very sweet!
ReplyDeleteAnd you will have fun with that new tablecloth, salt and peppers, and lamp! Great prices on everything!
Happy Blue Monday...
XO,

You found some wonderful things. I love the pretty blue and white lamp. It has such a pretty design. Your crystal pieces are just gorgeous, and of course I love the blue and yellow tablecloth, my new favorite colors. I especially like the salt and pepper shakers. They are just stunning and individual ones are so hard to find. Just beautiful. Hugs, Marty

Oh, I am loving that lamp, and the tulips are too cute.
ReplyDeleteGood deals! I like the pressed glass border too.
ReplyDeleteI love the pressed glass platter and the salt and pepper shakers! It's a shame people don't take the time to set a pretty table anymore--I don't know if they even make those little sets any more. Pretty!

I just noticed the nice comment you left on my "abandoned" post. I enjoyed reading about your Corning "Cornflower" collection. Thanks for sharing the link.
