weekend find

Today I am starting a blogpost series I will call "weekend find/s" where I'll show you a favorite find from a thrift store in my area from previous weekend.  I love to go to auctions, but it's only being held once a month, so to relieve my need to go junking- I go to my local Deseret or Goodwill whenever I have time on weekends.


this past weekend I'm excited to find these set of four silverplated animal goblet from Goodwill.  At first glance I thought they were bells but they stand on their heads, how awesome is that! When I got home, I searched the internet and found similar ones on ebay for a grand?! Speaking of awesomeness, you know you got something really awesome in your shopping cart when a few shopper just can't help themselves but to stop on their tracks, gawked, touch and feel the items IN your cart. I don't mind the staring, but touching it?  "Um hello sir, you are invading my privacy by touching the items inside my cart, I am afterall holding the cart so you know it's mine right?"  ok I am probably overly sensitive but still, it's just strange.

They're cute little cups to sip champagne from and equally cute with some candy canes; sure to add some festive decor in any room.

  8. hang on to these cups...they are divine.
    mea culpa, mea culpa...I AM one of those annoying customers! I don't touch but I do offer unsolicited assistance...yesterday I directed the lady to the matching plates for her cups already in her cart...my bad?
