As mentioned before, Austin thrifting is a challenge. Occasionally though, treasures present themselves. I don't normally buy Pyrex because I have cupboards full of the stuff and boxes that have yet to be unpacked.
This lovely pattern with hot air balloons in light blue was too good to pass up--even though it wasn't exactly a bargain.
At the Bethesda Thrift, which is next door to Next-to-New, I found this amazing silver-plated flower dish. It has a frog inside that helps you arrange the flowers (I have a small collection of glass frogs that I love) and I tried to remove most of the tarnish, but since it's plate didn't want to rub too hard. I'm going to try one of those silver dips and we'll see that happens.
Even with a little tarnish, it looks lovely outfitted with spider mums and little green buttons.
