Stop on way home...


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.

Homer Laughlin Best China USA.
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.

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!

  7. You 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!
