MCM style dishes

Head on over to the Mid-Century Modernist to savor these delicious and delightful dishes by Maija Louekari. Finnish textile and clothing design company, Marimekko, has produced the pieces which are titled In Good Company.

FINALLY back!

I know it's been forever since I updated this thing! Hopefully I can get back into it and visit a bigger variety of thrift stores now that school is out. Today's thrift store is the Orem Savers.

I always think these airtight containers are such a great find. Especially a matching set of 4! Prices from shortest to tallest: $2.99, $3.99, $3.99, $4.99

This is one of those products that doesn't look so hot at first, but it's got great potential. With a pretty coat of fresh paint around the frame and a quick clean-up of the mirror glass, this would be one sweet mirror. It's about a foot wide and I'm thinking you could bargain with the manager on the $14.99 price tag because it is a plastic frame, not wood.

I just LOVE this alarm clock. The tiny thing is about 4 inches tall and maybe 5 or 6 wide. It's a 24 hour clock so you can see the top section is for day time and the bottom is night! Plus, it's only $2.99.

PLATE TIME!

From ambrosia rush

I'm not big into knowing what brands are worth money, all I know is this plate has a really cool vintage design and the bottom says "Fashion Manor by Franciscan". It's also $1.99. Aww man! I just noticed it has an orange tag which means it was 99 cents yesterday afternoon when I snapped these pics! Not sure if orange tags are 99 cents on Tuesdays as well as Mondays. Well, since we're on the topic...Savers has a discount on a certain color tag each week. During the majority of the week items with that color tag are 50% off, but on Monday they go down to 99 cents each! Bargain time!

These are just cute and perfect. The colors are a little off in the picture, but the bottom side and edges are actually chocolate brown and the top is a really pretty goldenrod. There were 5 plates and at a good price! They are about 8 inches wide.

This is the last item of the day. It is also about an 8 inch plate and I love the simple black and white look. Also only 99 cents.

CIAO! for now!

Savers Stop

I know, it doesn't look like much...but this is an awesome avocado green table cloth! It is a light cotton and perfectly round. The diameter is roughly 68 inches.

Some more sweet seat covers. There were three of these for $1.99 each.

No not a shot glass, but perhaps a decorative vase? With a little polishing this contemporary piece would look terrific. Grab it for $4.99. Oh, and it's about 6 inches tall.

FAVORITE ITEM of the day!!! I love these candlestick holders. The fat guy is $3.99 and the skinny is $0.99.

Savers usually has a nice array of glasses. I especially like the colors and diverse shapes of these. Prices from left to right $2.99, $0.99, $0.99, $2.99 (and that is for each glass).

The PINK Post

I can't remember the name of the store I found this chair and the following sofa at...when it comes to me I'll post it :)

I love the shiny satin fabric on this sofa!

I had been wanting to check out Age Cage in Sugarhouse for a while and I am so glad I finally did. They have such cute stuff! And for a vintage store the prices are pretty good. This bowl reminds me of a sea anemone (which is a really hard word to say and spell).

So cool!
A week after visiting Age Cage, I found glasses that match these plates at Savers off of 7200 S in Salt Lake. I probably should have bought them.

I'm so happy Susan could come with me! Check out the rad pink suit cases she found.

NapaStyle

How many times have we heard not to judge a book by it's cover? Yet, when I first laid eyes on the NapaStyle homepage I almost brushed it off as it didn't seem to be my style. HOWEVER, I have been pleasantly surprised and am glad to share a few of their unique products.

(But first, their homepage as I recently view it)

These lovelies are handcrafted in Spain from recycled glass and range from $35 to $98.

On the website they seem excited that this ANTIQUE silverware is available by the pound. While that is nice, I am thrilled to find a resource for something so classic and quality.

I had a similar idea with the flatware...I thought it would be fun to grab all my silverware from the local thrift store. Although it took me almost two hours to dig through the giant buckets of kitchen junk, I didn't find anything quite as beautiful as on NapaStyle!
