This is an anniversary post of sorts. I mean, 10 Vintage Bliss Tuesdays already? I had to go back through them to see if I counted wrong. How quickly time seems to pass when you number your posts! Anyway, thanks for partying with me all these weeks. I love checking out the thrifty finds that people link up.
I visited the Goodwill with my husband on the weekend. It was a quick trip round the store about half an hour before closing. Of course I concentrated on the housewares, as I always do. Looking through clothes just seems too overwhelming to me. So much crap to look through to get to the good stuff! I bought pairs of items, all matched in colour. Today I'm sharing a look at the first pairing. One, this cute little green and brown pottery vase.
And, two, this larger green glass vase. I can't resist a pretty vase, even though I have a cupboard full of them. I have to start growing more flowers to fill them (in summer of course - right now the landscape is covered with snow and I'm still pretending it's very temporary).
Do you have a specific colour of items that you tend to collect?

DeleteI adore your green treasures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Taby!
DeleteI love these :) I hope you have a terrific Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith!
DeleteNice finds and only half an hour to find them!! I'm like you, I'd like to look at the clothes because I know people find some great things, but I just can't be bothered - no patience for it at all!! Looking at the scarves is my limit!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can barely look for clothes at Winners, never mind the thrift shops!!
DeleteHa, you're the same type of thrift store shopper as I am. It's always first to the housewares for me too, and I agree, there is too much crap in the clothing sections to wade through to find anything good. I love the vases you found, especially the green one.
ReplyDeleteWe need to go shopping together. ;)
DeleteThanks. :) Jo
Thanks for Vintage Bliss Tuesdays Joann. My thrifted this week is an old water jug (now filled with hydrangea.)
ReplyDeleteFlowers are in short supply around here unfortunately. ;) Actually they are completely absent except in stores. Have a great week!
DeleteI love the vases you found. I usually look for blue to match my kitchen. Thanks for lots of fun parties! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI need to get a colour scheme going in my kitchen so I can limit my purchases!!
DeleteThe green vases are beautiful. I buy mostly green items to keep. My favorite color is green.
ReplyDeleteGreen is cheery isn't it? If I have to pick a fave colour I say pink, but then I don't have a lot that's pink. ;)
DeleteI am a sucker for pottery and would have picked up the first vase in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteI am totally a sucker for pottery too!!!
DeleteThe second one looks kinda like a grenade, pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI like all colours. Sometimes certain colours of certain items, but I collect so many things....
I never noticed that, but now that you mention it, I see the resemblance.
DeleteI collect so many things too...I can't limit myself to one colour! ;)
Very pretty vases. I wish I could have flowers in the house so I could collect treasures like that, but sadly I'm too allergic. Thanks so much for sharing at the Make it Monday Party! Hope to see you again next week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame you're allergic to flowers. :( Thanks for hosting. :) Jo
Deletelove little collections dictated by color!
ReplyDeleteI often think I should spend some time organizing all my stuff into smaller collections/vignettes based on colour, but I never seem to get around to it...
