Creamers In The Cubbies

A few weeks ago I had sets of 

sugar and creamers in the cubbies

I promised you I would share my creamer collection....here are about half of them and the one's that feel 'fall' to me!

I added a few fall decorations to the mix also

A few more pieces of Amber glass

Pinecones and Pumpkins

A closer look at the creamers.....

I have collected creamers for over 20 years

most have been found at thrift shops and yard sales

I love restaurant creamers and have quite a few I've found over the years

I don't have matching sugar bowls for any of the creamers in this collection

And yes, I did say this was about half of my collection....

I'll share the rest another time!

Today I'm joining these parties

Tweak It Tuesday

and 

You're Gonna Love It

Cream & Sugar Anyone?

I love creamers and have collected them for years

Do you know what happens when you collect creamers? you also seem to collect sugar bowls and even stranger for me sets of cream and sugars!

I filled the cubbies with my surprising collection of 

Vintage Cream and Sugars

Honestly I had no idea I had so many sets!

In all sorts of colors

and all sorts of shapes

and sizes

Some were gifts but most were thrifty finds

This little green set is my smallest and I use them all the time!

I have all kinds of cream and sugar sets

Pink 'Imperial Ware' melamine to

Cobalt Blue Depression Glass

Classic Milk Glass to

Blue Ridge Pottery

From unknown makers to

the classic 1950's Ballerina pattern

 I love them but some are going to be sold to make room for other things! 

(if you see something you like email me)

This is my favorite set I think

Something about the color and the lines

made by W. S. George just call my name!

This display has been on of Mr ALC's favorites

maybe because he loves coffee so much??

Next up for the cubbies will be vintage creamers!

A Little Thrifting!

I have done a little thrift shopping while here in Texas.  I have been trying not to buy much as I am flying home and not in my car!

Last week I found these...

Metlox pottery in the 'Fruit Basket' pattern

The sugar bowl and creamer were $2.99

The lid detail is so cute! 

 I also found....

The matching Salt & Pepper for $1.50

I looked for plates or any other pieces of this pattern but found none~!  

Still these will go with so many colors and will be seen in a tablescape for sure!

If you are a follower of A La Carte you know I love my Blue Birds of Happiness

I found this one for 99cents! 

Now for the happy news!

At Mom's check-up on Wed her Dr said she was doing great and can resume all her activities.  This means I can go home! 

I will miss Mom so much but I need to get home and start looking for a place for her to move closer!

Texas is now just too far away! 

Here we are last Saturday on my Birthday! 

She looks great don't you agree? 

So looks like I will be flying home Monday and hopefully Mom will be moving closer in the next 6-12 months!  Thank you again for all your prayers and well wishes!

A Few Cute Things!

I stopped by the local Goodwill one day and found two cute things that just 'had' to come home with me!

This cute little restaurant creamer was only .49 and will join my collection at home!

This milk glass vase has the prettiest design on it and at $1.99 I knew it was a keeper!

Look at this cute goofy face!  Love this boy and miss him so much~

A Few Vintage Things!

I found a couple of great vintage goodies this past week! 

This orphan Pepper shaker is so cute!  I found it at a thrift shop on 1/2 price day so it was .27

These are large stamps with numbers and letters

I don't know what I'm going to do with them but I think they look cool...$1.21 each...did I pay too much?

May favorite find this week was this lovely creamer.  Marked Edwin Knowles and the patterin is Gloria.  I love it and for $1.80 it joined my collection.

I'm joining Suzanne for Vintage Thingy Thursday

Please go by and visit Suzanne and wish her a Happy Birthday.  She is 50 and Fabulous today!
