Recent Thrifty Finds

I found all this in one hit from an Op shop last week. Tea, cup and saucer sets were $5 each with the Chintz cake plate for $2.


A beady customer of mine came to my last Bead and Gem Show with a big box tucked under her arm. Inside contained her Mother's china trios she no longer wanted and knew that I would love.
She was right. 



The husband came home with 3 sets of skis he found on the side of the road on hard rubbish collection day. I just have to get motivated and sell them on ebay....anybody know anything about ski's??




5 Atomic glasses from the local Salvos for $1 each.   I was very :)




A Retro pop up Charity shop 'popped' up in town on Sunday and I got this leopard lined and collared 60's coat for $15. The amount of vintage coats in there was staggering, if I had a vintage shop I could have stocked it full of fur collared beauties. Unfortunately, none of them fit me. Neither did the perfect 40's suit jacket ($30) or 30's velvet opera coat ($35).  And another woman was taunting me by walking around with 2 50's garden floral dresses draped over her shoulder with $10 tags on them.  Grrrrrr.

What have you guys thrifted this week?
