I am going to tease you for a minute, but this is my super, duper, duper find. Wait just a minute and I will show you. Everything was 25% off the marked price.
All polished up, look at my great finds.
This is my super duper special find. Can you believe this for $4.99, obviously they had no idea what they were doing. Just put the two pieces together and tape them really good and stick a price on it. I am thrilled, I think it is stunning. This piece was so black I wasn't at all sure it would polish, but with a ton of elbow grease it is finally shiny.
and since it is lead crystal by Towle, well worth it. The stopper is beautifully carved also. I found the same one online for $95.00.
All that for $18.70.
I think they are wonderful finds and I can't wait to start playing.
Have you found some real treasures lately?
I am joining Treasure Hunt Thursday @ From My Front Porch To Yours
Tales from Bloggeritabille for Thrifty Thursday
Oh my gosh Marty those are super duper finds!! LOVE all that silver and what a pretty cloche! I see a few vignette changes coming up in the near furture!
ReplyDeleteI mean future! that's what you get when you type to fast LOL!
ReplyDeleteWow! Good for you, Marty! Fabulous finds. I found 2 silver trays at our thrift store last week. $3 each. Isn't it fun! :))
ReplyDeletemarry you did find some treasures!! Love the little revere bowls, I pick those up too when I find them, so great for serving just about anything and it elevates the table up a notch. xo Kathysue
ReplyDeleteThose bowls remind me of the Barefoot Contessa...she always puts her dips in silver bowls...nice finds...glad GW is coming back for you!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Marty. Your store always has such nice things.
ReplyDeleteYou did do good! The GW stores around here don't have the good stuf.
ReplyDeleteSuppose to be "stuff" - coffee never kicked in. :-D
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! You've inspired me to stop by our GW today. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou really did get some super duper finds. I love the cloche and the decanter.

the checkout line
giddy with joy

Marty, great finds. I love the cloche. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYou sure did find some super duper finds Marty! Can't wait to see the vignettes you create with treasures. Hope you are having a wonderful day, Gail
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me! Great finds! I love them all, especially the cloche!
ReplyDeleteMarty, I looked in the Twin Cities for a cloche. No luck, and you find one at Good Will! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteLove your great finds! That cloche is super duper cute!
ReplyDeleteMarty! WOW!!!!!! Great finds is right!!!! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteSadly , NO... sniff sniff I have not been thrifting at all lately - I don't have any goof thrift stores near me . I am really hoping I can get to Wisconsin to visit my frien - there are four FABULOUS thrift stores in her town and many more near by!
Hugs!
Have a pretty day!
Kristin
Great finds! I've been way too busy to do any thrifting lately, but BOY do I miss it!! Your post affirmed it!
ReplyDelete~Angela
love your finds!! My thrift store has decided to mark antique prices on everything. it's such a bummer.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a Bonanza! The GW here (CA) prices their pieces so much higher. There isn't a 'senior day', instead a 10% senior discount every day. That just covers the sales tax! Can you tell I'm envious?!
ReplyDeleteCathie W.
Wow! Those sure are super super finds!...christine
ReplyDeletegreat finds! they are very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I saw one of the silver bowls at the Salvation Army a couple weeks ago, but didn't buy it because I already have one that someone gave me for our wedding 26 years ago! I love the pedestal!
ReplyDeleteMarty those are some fantastic finds. You are the absolute best at finding things at GW. I can't wait to see you work your magic with these in one of your gorgeous vignettes.
ReplyDeleteWoot. Well done Marty. I have found three of my cloches at GW.
ReplyDeleteWow-Marty! You sure find some good things at GW. We are never that lucky around here-or at least I am not! LOVE all your silver and the domed cloche! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteJust went to Goodwill today and they had nothing like that. You did good!
ReplyDeleteLovin' your pretty new cloche Marty! Glad you were in the right spot at the right time-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteYay, YOU, Marty!! Those silver revere bowls are just beautiful, all polished up so pretty! I use mine for a horseradish/dill sauce when I serve any visitors prime rib. Right now, I've got a couple of nests sitting in 2 of them & jelly beans in the 3rd.
ReplyDeleteYour decanter is lovely...of course, I'm partial to anything made in Poland, based on DH's heritage. *wink*
I'm happy you found so many great keepers.
fondly,
Rett
Oh, Marty! These finds are awesome! You were meant to go by today! The cloche is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd the decanter is just fabulous! Can't wait to see how you use them!
I never can resist silver at the Goodwill, good job!
ReplyDeleteKaree
Marty you scored. I don't mind being a senior when there are great deals to be had.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, did the cloche come with the silver pedestal piece, Marty? That is gorgeous! Love the decanter. The shape is unusual ~ usually I just see the squared off ones.
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful finds! I especially love your little silver and glass cloche! Can't wait to see what you do with that! Even a little cupcake would look like a feast rested upon this find!
dee dee
Amazing finds for amazing prices! I love your silver bowls. I have a couple of those myself and have them out on display. You can't go wrong with anything crystal or silver.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a lucky lady...I never score well at GW!!...Those silver bowls and the cloche are amazing and with the vase you paid under $20?!!! You are good!!!...
ReplyDeleteMarty you did make a haul! Great! I like your finds.
ReplyDeleteDolly
WOWzeer!! What finds you found. My GW never has anything like this!! You are a lucky lady. Love everything, but especially the silver bowls!!

Well, Marty, you did good - again! GW just came to our town not too long ago and I have yet to check it out. This may just get me moving!
ReplyDeleteHugs, GraceinAZ
Wow, Marty. These are wonderful finds. Our GWs haven't been too great lately. Maybe they will pick back up.
ReplyDeleteVous êtes la reine des bonnes affaires...
ReplyDeletegros bisous
