Will and I dropped by recently on a quick trip home from somewhere. Will was carrying Jaimeson cos we didn't expect to stay long, and before I knew it I had filled up my arms and I was groaning under the weight of all my treasures!

Salvos Success!
Recently (well, as time flies it was probably about 6 months ago!) a new Salvos Store opened in my area. At first it rated very low on my Op Shopping list, cos I never found any jewels when I visited. But the more I have visited, the better it has become, and the more exciting things I have found! Now it's one of my fave places to drop by. Plus, there is a South American man who works there, and he's always so friendly!
Will and I dropped by recently on a quick trip home from somewhere. Will was carrying Jaimeson cos we didn't expect to stay long, and before I knew it I had filled up my arms and I was groaning under the weight of all my treasures!
I found a green Agee Pyrex casserole dish with lid for $3, 2 stoneware plates for $2 each, a Churchill saucer to match my recently found Churchill teacups for $1, 4 beautiful old Art Deco green patterned saucers for $2 each (probably a rip off, but I loved the pattern- now to find the matching Tea Cups!), a sweet Johnson Children's Cup and Bowl set for when Jaimeson stops throwing his plastic ones from the High Chair!- $3, the gorgeous Deer vase, $2, who unfortunately is missing the head off the rabbit who is sitting on his back! Mum reckons it's from the 1950s, I love it!!; a cute little Salt & Pepper shaker "Tree Stump" for $1, (there was only 1 though! I wonder what happened to his partner?) and the ridiculous little Beer Barrell tea cups and saucers- $2 for the set. They're Will's actually! I thought they were really funny and he took a liking to them, and seeing as I was on a roll of finding treasures I just added them to my armsfull! They'll come in handy if I ever host a Pirate Tea Party. LOL!
I just {LOVE} the pattern on this Kelston Ceramics NZ made floral plate. It's my new favourite plate! I think I say that every time I visit Salvos or Vinnies. I come back with a new "favourite" something! LOL!
So all together not a bad haul for $24! Did you find any treasures this week?

I'm always AMAZED at what you find!!! I especially love the green saucers. And anything deer. :)
I just LOVE the green saucers. It will be AWESOME if you ever find some cups to match. What brand are they? Do they have a design name?
I think it's so funny that you keep buying odd plates sooo similar to all the ones I have thrown out in my lifetime. haha.
Love Mum
I'm with your mum on the green saucers, they are so nice and I think they are awesome. I'm laughing reading what your mum said because I've probably thrown some of these out too .... broken a few even, what with kids dropping them and all. I love all the bargains that you always seem to find ... so industrious.
Your haul is amazing. the green saucers are fantastic- what a lot of treasures for $24 :)
Love those plates!

Lovely scores. I went to Vinnies today and got some cute trinket bowls to keep on my craft desk. Was so stoked with 3 of them for $1.
