Hello fellow thrifters! How was your Christmas? - merry I hope. Any thrifty, vintage presents this year? Ski vacations with the fam? Pyrex mishaps? Do tell.
This wasn't an ideal Christmas for me, but that aside, we had a delicious dinner cooked by my boyfriends sister. No presents to be had for anybody, but everybody is just happy that they get to spend another year together.

Nothing to show off this week besides this beautiful set of turquoise Hazel Atlas dishware. It cost somewhere around $35 in an antique market. I was iffy on the purchase, but then broke it down. I would freak out if I saw these dishes in pristine condition in a thrift store & would most likely reluctantly pay $3.99 for each, so... did it here, too.
Thank you to everyone who links up every week & thank you to everyone who reads every week, I love doing Thriftasaurus. I will be taking a break from thrifting until next year (I know, right? just saying that is killing me), but still have some finds to show off (like that beautiful mint Hazel Atlas above!). A couple weeks back I finally figured out how to tweak it so I can reply to comments via email, instead of only directly on my blog. I felt so accomplished. Now if only I can make myself a beautiful banner.
Have a happy new year!

Your Hazel Atlas Mugs and Bowls are treasures. Never ever found any in turquoise. I wanted to add a bit of pyrex today so I am using an older post, hope that is ok. Good to be with friends at Christmas. Happy New Year.

Those are pretty special!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best in the New Year!
I like anything that color, old or new. I would have also shelled out 35 bones for it. That was a good purchase! My pyrex haul was overthrown by the flea bags that got to the store 5 minutes before me. Im still pissed about that! But I did manage to get a large full set of vintage dishes that I may blog about in the next few days. For me, dishes only sell when I have a large set. Otherwise just a few dishes will sit there forever it seems. Hoping you have a wonderful new year!
ReplyDeleteI really like these dishes! I am in complete agreement they are worth $35!!! Happy New Year!! Thanks so much for hosting!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the new year, Sir T!
ReplyDeleteDYING!!!!! I have a couple of those mugs and one of the bowls. I thrifted it all but would freak out and buy the whole set too if I saw it in the thrift. $35 seems like a super reasonable price to me!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!!

Those are beautiful dishes, I love the color! They were worth every penny that you paid, and more so because they made you happy :) Have a wonderful New Year!
ReplyDeleteWow, great find!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHA and turquoise, too?! Yay! I use PicMonkey.com for banners, use the FB Cover option, easy and free, lots of options. Good luck & Happy New Year - Dawn (party on Tuesday, hey hey)
ReplyDeleteLove those dishes! Glad you found them. Happy New Year and thanks for the party!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color and great condition! Lovely pictures as well.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous set to round out the year. :D
ReplyDeleteI like the color of the dishes they made me think of my grandmother.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me join the party.
All the best in the new year.

I like the new dishes! That color is really pretty. I'm sorry to hear you guys couldn't do gifts, but it's nice that you were able to spend it with people you love. I was thinking about my Christmas, how it was a little less than ideal too, and I realized that throughout the year I buy and am gifted a lot of cool stuff. It made me feel much better!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!!
You are right to focus on spending your Christmas with loved ones. Presents really don't make Christmas.Love the colour of your finds and the price seems reasonable to me.
