All Over The Place - Thrift Share Monday

From embroidery kits & baseball fabric
To restaurant bowls & seagull clocks


Thrifting finds over the last couple of weeks have been all over the place!
Some items are knee-jerk nostalgic buys
(the orange 70's sunset and seagull clock for instance -

 Looking back to figure out what else triggered a buy... 
A trio of unopened embroidery and needlepoint kits is easy to know why -
there's that family link to the needlework industry since the 70's.
They're just so familiar.


Vera Neumann purple pear napkins


The Vera Neumann purple pear napkins?
Definitely a combination of love of her graphic style, the colors are beautiful, and condition of the linen superb.


Homer Laughlin restaurant ware

And these aqua and grey leaf berry bowls - nostalgia galore!
 I can imagine a side of cole slaw sliding across a formica diner table in these robust china bowls.


Olde Orleans salad plates

Stetson handpainted platter


And more plates to sell
(But I'm feeling a little attached to the Stetson platter, might need to keep that one for awhile!!).
