All the items in this post were found at thrift stores this past week while on vacation in California. Thanks Dawn H. for having a 50th birthday celebration (the main reason for our trip). I found ME some wonder gifts for YOUR birthday :^) (Actually she made out just fine. A couple items went to her collection) Click pics for larger and better quality photos.  |
| Thousand Faces Lidded Sugar Bowl and Lidded Creamer (Japan) I love this pattern. Look closer and you'll see why they call it 1,000 Faces. We have many different type pieces in our collection. Including several other sugar and creamer sets...some with coffee or teapots even. Paid $10.00 for the pair |
 |
| (2) Shelley Salad/Dessert Plates (England) Very collectible. Paid 2.19 each |
 |
| (2) Homer Laughlin China - Harlequin Saucers I have a good many sets of cups & saucers in this pattern. Now I have a couple extra saucers. They are roughly 50-60+ years old. HLC is also the maker of Fiesta dinnerware. Paid $1.50 each |
 |
| Possibly Pacific Pottery or Garden City Pottery Dinner Plate. Very old. Dates to the Arts and Crafts period. Sometime around 1930-40. Paid: $2.19 |
 |
| Tiffin Glass Flower "Floater" and Candleholder This item was designed to include any one of a number of different tall stretched glass animal figurines in the center along with the tapered candlesticks and floating flowers if desired. Paid $10.00 |
 |
| Tiffin Glass Vase We have a showcase full of Tiffin vases similar to this one. The color is called "Copen Blue". The "ball" is in crystal. Paid $10.00 |
 |
| (2) Christofle "Atalante" Highball Glasses What amazing quality these have. Found them for a bargain compared to what they originally sold for. |
 |
| Beautiful Cut Detail. They are etched with the "Christofle" name on the bottom. |
 |
| Orrefors Crystal "Artichoke" Votive (Sweden) Still has it's original "Orrefors" label on the bottom. I've put together a nice little collection of various votive candleholders over the years. Several from various other Scandinavian Manufacturers. Paid $5.39 |
 |
| (3) Brand New Photo Albums. Still had the wrap on them when I found them. I'm always in need of more photo albums. Found for $3.49 each. A great price compared to buying new at retail. |
 |
| Empoli Decanter (Italy) It'll look nice once I get it all cleaned up. Paid $6.00 |
 |
| Tiffin Glass "Sweet Pea" Vase Another of the many Tiffin Glass items found this trip. We especially love the "foot" design on this series. We have so many that are similar but not exactly the same as this one. Paid $2.49 |
 |
| Thomas O'Brian Etched "Eucalyptus" Art Glass Plate. This piece although not old, was made to look like well known makers from the 1930-40's. Still a fun and quality etched glass piece. Already given away as a little thank you gift. Would look especially nice in someone's tropical home someday. Found for a bargain. |
 |
| Stretched Carnival Glass Handled Tidbit Tray. Possibly Imperial Glass, or one of a couple other U.S. makers who all made this same basic piece. (Not the actual piece we found. My find actually had more contrasting "carnival" color. It has already gone to a good home as a little thank you gift). Found for a Bargain. |
 |
| Blenko Glass "Taurus" Zodiac Suncatcher (Also not the actual piece found. My find was in a green glass. It to went to someone in California who also collects Blenko Glass and who's zodiac sign is "Taurus"). Found for a Bargain. |
 |
| Blenko Ruffled Bowl (Also not the actual piece found. My find was just like this one though. It was given as a little extra birthday gift to the person for which the trip to California was planned). Found for a Bargain. |
