My lunch hour adventures....

Cobalt blue creamer pitcher - gold floral detail

After doing the post Oh Me, Oh Milk Glass! earlier I was just itchin' to dash over to Goodwill on my lunch break! Call it good luck or call it the effects of positive thinking, but the first thing I saw when I walked into the home section was milk glass!

Check out my Goodwill bargains and my other lunch time pictures.... I hope you're all having a great Thursday so far!

This milk glass plate is a riot....

I actually found a small vase identical to one that I already have except it is clear glass and not milky white. I got it anyway because hey, it was waiting just for me! Plus, at 25 cents how could I resist? Especially with those beautiful hobnails all over it!...

I also killed time at a store up the street from Goodwill called Miami Twice, which claims to be a vintage-thrifty-retro type place but just come across tacky, not to mention it is outrageously overpriced and full of mostly new items. In fact, the same stuff that I find at Goodwill for change, they sell for eye-popping prices. A small opalescent vase for over $100! Nahh. I need to stop going in there hoping things will be different. Ironically they are currently promoting a "super sale" for which I saw no evidence of inside the store... HA!


And then I took a stroll up the strip mall to a new place called Roque's Curiosities, a gift shop with antiques, Victorian and Contemporary Marcasite, silver and natural stone jewelry, candles, oil, incense and more. It was ok, there was more new stuff than antique, and mostly overpriced. I spotted some pretty white and blue hobnail milk glass and snapped some quick photos....
