Saturday Treasure Hunting PART 2
CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO ENLARGE.
After enjoying a wonderful lunch at the European Cafe' & Bakery my hubby suggested we stop at one of my favorite thrift stores. HMMMM.... of course I said yes before he could finish his sentence!!! We had spent almost all the cash we had at lunch. I thought they took credit cards and we only had $4.00 and change between us. At first all I found was the cute clay pottery floral/pink trimmed bowl. I don't recognize the signature on the bottom. But, it's a heavy little piece and in perfect condition. I don't know if you can see the tag, but it was 75 cents!
As we were leaving I spied a pair of lamps.... Very heavy and spa/tropical looking. They were $4.00 each and I saw the name on them "Pacific Coast". No clue about the brand. I took them up to pay the $8.00 and was told that there is a $10.00 minimum on credit card purchases. Quickly, I rushed back to the shelf that the lamps were on and added the aqua blue wooden nautilus ($1.00) it had the $12.99 Beall's OUTLET price on the bottom, and the lovely little set of wooden chinese bookmarks in the little red case ($1.25). My total on that thrift store trip was $10.25.
Back to the lamps! I looked them up online when I got home. I found 2 similar styles by "Pacific Coast" retailing $250 to $298 each! That added to the fun!!!
