Thrifty Thursday - Treasure Hunt

.

Thanks to our dear Miss
Leigh, "Big Daddy's Girl" as
I call her - - - we are
gathering again to play
"Thrifty Thursday"

A tisket a tasket,
A little china basket.
It has violets of blue
Especially for you!

I use it to hold my rings.

Since my maiden name is Heavilin,
I've always wanted some Johann Haviland china,
You know - - - just in case he's a long lost relative,
Or something.
Then one day I spied these little beauties
In an antique shop - - -
Six berry bowls and a dessert plate.

This china hat box
Came to me one fine Mother's Day
Filled with a delicate flower arrangement.
The flowers faded and died - - -
But the hat box is still perfect!

This pitcher came from my
Beloved Burr Camp.
(If you missed my camp story check here.)
Unfortunately, the bowl was long gone.
I started looking in antique shops for
JUST a bowl - - - and found this one!
The bowl is a slightly different shade
Of white than the pitcher - - -
But to me they are a perfect pair.
And a daily reminder of
My sweet camp memories.

This pitcher really was a thrifty buy!
I found it on a sidewalk sale table
At our local Cracker Barrel.
Just a little wanna-be antique.
Later I found the bowl in
A box of "oldies and goodies"
From Burr Camp.
I remember it being used to serve
Mashed potatoes.
I think it makes a perfect
Companion to my
Little frugal pitcher.
