Crockery Cabinet

Saturday's Clearing Sale just out of town saw the purchase of a few much needed pieces of furniture and a couple of other things including two old timber ladders, one for a bed side table and the other for the sewing/craft room.
My favourite piece would have to be this kitchen dresser..finally a place to store and display the ever growing crockery collection. There was a bit of competition in the bidding for this one, but the fiance was determined, and so the final bid was ours..Yipee.

The top glass section currently holds the pastel coloured crockery, mainly Johnson pieces. It's lovely to see and admire the collection every time you walk through the kitchen.

It's rather cold and wet here today, so a spot of sewing is in order, there's also overripe bananas waiting to be turned into cake, and bags to be packed for a week of  New Graduate orientation at Dubbo... I better get to it.

New Op-shops

The Op-shops here are not disappointing, with a few treasures picked up during the week.

A new to me Johnson design dinner plate

Milk glass, $2

 And a little bit more, $2


and finally a lovely spot to display some of the collection, the mantel.

And a large Pyrex bowl, only $1.50 from Vinnies.

Yesterday we went to our first Clearing Sale, which is usually when a farm has been sold and they have an onsite auction of a whole lot of farm and household items. We left with two ute loads worth of stuff and slightly sun burnt noses, but we couldn't be more happy with our purchases. I shall have to show them off in the next week or two.

Add your thrifted finds, and see everyone elses, here.
