I saw this thrift store was open so pulled in.
All proceeds go to the county animal shelter.
It is not open all the time so I seldom catch it.
This is an old Smithfield gas station that became a seafood shop now a thrift store!!
Bought these 2 tablecloths for 8 bucks! Nice dark red color.
One fits our harvest table perfectly.
Not sure what I will do with the second one.
It is long! May do some window valances with it.
These six plates came home with me too!!
75 cents a piece!
Nice creamy color and that vintage red!
I am thinking diner or hotel plates but they sure have not seen much service.
Not any fork marks or chips.

I plan to use these some with my green Homestead China for Christmas.
Check out post on my other blog, Cedar Cottage Farm for more plate love.
Love that pattern on the china!!
ReplyDeleteLove the plates and tablecloths. What a great find!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh....I love what you purchased!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! The red china will be perfect for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteThe tablecloth and china will be great for Christmas! I have friend who collect Homer Laughlin...if she had computer and saw these she'd be trying to beat you out of them...LOL... They're both really pretty! I remember the old gas stations like that one...we had them back where I grew up. What a neat way to use that old building!
ReplyDeleteIts a fun day when we SCORE at the Thrift Shop! I rarely go and when I do I wonder why I don't go more often! Go Figure!!
ReplyDeleteSuch awesome finds! I'm also pulled in by the looks of this little shop, how quaint!!
ReplyDeleteYou do the best decorating with those types of things...can't wait to see a photo of them in place at your house. We went to an old gas station somewhere in either SC or GA last winter that was selling food and beverage items popular in that area...peach wines, pecan log rolls, etc. It was really neat to use the old gas station building for that shop!
ReplyDeleteSweet! I adore your finds and love the story about the thrift store and it's past, and the sales proceeds...that is so cool.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new treats.
