Thrifty Whites

Have I mentioned I love white in decor?  (Uh ... about a hundred times?)  It's not that I'm anti-color, I just love white as an anchor because it's versatile and serene.

So I was doing the happy dance when I came across these beauties during one of my recent thrift store runs!  I was definitely having a white-is-right kind of shopping day.

I'm not sure about the age of the big pitcher or if it's ironstone; it has an embossed stamp I can't read.  But because the stamp is embossed, and there is a little bit of pitting, I think it's vintage.  This adorable little teapot is English ironstone (marked).  The pitcher was $4 at Goodwill and the teapot was $2 at a local thrift store.

I found a set of 10 of these glasses at The Salvation Army for $1 a piece.  Score!  It was their 40% off sale day.  I also picked up a set of six in pink, which I'll be selling.  Or maybe not.  They're pretty cute.

Twelve milkglass bud vases were waiting for me at another shop (I'm just showing a few here).  Most are Hoosier glass from Indiana or Brody glass from Cleveland, which are collectible.  The prices ranged from 50 cents to $1 a piece for the small vases and $1.50 to $2 for the larger ones.  These are great for wedding decor, or clustered on a large dining table.

 

 

I don't think this little bud vase is vintage, but it's very sweet. I got the little candy dish/pedestal from the same thrift shop.

I even found the little wood table-thingy that I'm using for display during my thrift store foray.  I have no idea what it is or what it was used for, but I painted it white and figured I'd come up with something!

That's what so great about white--you can always find a place for it somewhere!
