Yard work and other obligations have seriously cut into my thrift time (boo...).But it needs to be done and I did get out once this past weekend to a Goodwill store on the other side of town. I like going to this particular Goodwill as it is a bigger store and always full of stuff. Here are my goodies:
I like the shape of this tall ribbed glass bowl. The two glass Heller jars are very sturdy and will be good for storing ingredients in the kitchen. The glass Planter's peanut jar is cute and will look nice with nuts in it. Think I'll just use it for gatherings as the two males in my house have no appreciation for this type of thing :>)
I love sunflowers, so I had to buy this vintage stationery, right?
I've used this El Verde Ironstone platter already, for a grill out yesterday. I put big tomato slices with fresh mozzarella and basil, drizzled with olive oil on it and it looked very pretty.
I found this cloisonne and brass candle holder to add to my collection of cloisonne. The other candlestick is made of iron, I like the design of it.
I really like the japanese motifs on this heavy plastic tray. It was difficult to take a picture as there was much reflection. I have heard that there is a product that will take scratches off of plastic - anyone know what that product is called?
This is the mystery object. It looks to me like a ice bucket or wine chiller. Bottom is marked Polytherm, made in Germany. There are initials - the letter W is over Mf. If you know anything about this item PLEASE let me know. I did a search and wasn't able to find anything.
This is the frustrating part, I couldn't find a lid. I spent over an hour looking for it in the store, hate it when that happens.
What did you find this past weekend? This post is a part of Thrift Share Monday with Apron Thrift Girl.
Just discovered your sweet blog!!
ReplyDeleteI love your finds.

WMF is a German company that makes cookware and kitchen items and polytherm is the material that it's made out of. I believe that polytherm is used to keep things hot or cold, so I think you're right, either an ice bucket or wine chiller. :)
