Rooster Plate & Some A Pattern I Love...


A quick stop at the thrift yielded two little plates with roosters on them, one says EAT, the other has a very suggestive picture on it. What happens after you eat? Now I know it's not what it's meant to be & after researching a bit, as I had imagined, these are similar to a set of ashtrays that is currently listed on Etsy (link here) that was made in Japan. They have the EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY. Two of the drink ones, so someone really wants you to get drunk! These however, I believe were made in China & are not ashtrays. 99cents each at Value Village. Weird Al vinyl, great condition, $1.99 at Salvation Army.




I bought this mug at Goodwill for 99cents. I thought it was adorable, love the graphic. Not much into mugs unless it's Thermosa, Fire King, Federal, Glasbake, '80s (Care Bears, Cabbage Patch Dolls), but I couldn't leave this one on the shelf. Cute, huh?



These cups are nothing but good fun. Not a beer drinking, wine here on occasion, but my fiance & I tend to drink mass amount of pop.. would be interesting to see who really drinks more. I bought one of these for 99cents awhile ago & $1.51 the other day, both at Goodwill. Gotta have an even number. Looks like these might have originated out of Urban Outfitters.



Also got this Tupperware I'm quite proud of.. I don't buy much Tupperware, but I'm hoping this will save us some money as we kinda toss out a lot of extra food (:().

Joining the party over at The Thrift Groove for THRIFTY THINGS FRIDAY!

Before Blogger went ballistic, I posted about this dish pattern I'm digging that I saw at Goodwill. Another made in Japan gem, I lost out. I passed out on the plates & everything else. Hadn't given them a second thought until I came home & looked at our pile of gross, not very appealing dishes... Ikea & Debbie Travis. I did manage to find this bowl I photographed. I talked myself out of buying it just to have.. felt good to do that.

Digging this vintage dish pattern


Currently digging this vintage, made in Japan dish pattern. I remember seeing the plates at Goodwill, but didn't think twice about them because I was being rushed (*ahem*) & this was definitely a leavers regret. I went back today after thinking about them for a long while & the only thing that remained was a bowl. I left it behind. I was going to buy it, but I'd be able to feel it packed away in a box mocking me.

Anybody seen a similar pattern online?
