I try to get out at least once a week to go thrifting. Usually it is just one or two spots here in Pasadena, and sometimes I get lucky, sometimes I don't find a thing....But you know what? I like to get out there and just look, no matter what I come home with. I was recently on thrift "probation" after I came home with three different sets of plates in one weekend...hmmm...
This last weekend, I was happy with the finds that I came home with. And it also fell in line with a strange habit I have of ending up with a whole little set of items in the same color story without meaning to at all....it just happens. So this time it was yellow, I think, and I also love the economics of vintage goods, too.....I found a creamer, gravy boat, classic mid-century pot, 2 melmac-style cups, and my favorite- two vintage tea cups and a saucer marker "AZTEC Johnson Bros"...I looked all over and can't find any info on them....I just wonder how old they are? They seem like 20's or 30's....Anyway, now I need to find some room for them all....oh yeah, and all that for under $9!
