Thrifty Finds ~ The Whites

What a weekend! Saturday I vowed I was going to hit TJ Maxx and the thrift store {they are both in the same area} and I did so bright and early.  I hit TJ Maxx first and, while I also got some clothes there, I found this great white pitcher.

The rim and other detailing match my new white dishes!  Plus, the bonus of a fleur de lis.  A great buy for $6.99.  See, look ~ these are my new white dishes below.  Doesn’t it match up perfectly?!

I headed to the thrift store and had on my mental list some white pitchers, creamers, that sort of thing.  I like the idea of the whites because I can incorporate them much more easily and they look good all year long.  I love the way they look on other blogs being used now in the Spring, but they also look great with some greenery and bits of red at the holidays.  No pitchers, but I did find these.

Large tureen – $6.99.  No lid  or ladle, but it was in perfect condition.

Small tureen {for lack of a better name} – $2.99.  No lid and it has a pretty floral detail.  I have ideas for the use of these two already.  Also in great condition.

This lidded single serve tea or coffee pot, also $2.99.  Love the lid and handle and the spout shape.  It was in great condition until I dropped the lid taking the shipping tape off it.  It didn’t break but I did notice a chip/crack in the inside of the lid that I’m sure I did.

To make them look useful during the open house, I put a floral I got from Kristen at Kristen’s Creations in the large tureen. 

I got a couple of other things there, too, that I am very excited to share with you.  I’m saving them for their own post though, and I think you will love them as I do!
