Some recent finds include this pile of china for a mere $4. I already had 4 cups/saucers to match, which I had found at Brimfield Flea Market. I love this pattern!
Here is a beautiful framed print of Little Madonna. This image is also referred to as 'Our Lady of the Streets'. More information about the history of the portrait can be found here. I find it compelling, especially the angelic image of the sleeping babe.
Some pink pretties were also found thriftin':
The colors in this paper lantern are soft and pretty. I got 4 of these for $1! They'll be terrific for garden parties next spring.
This paper fan with reproduction Victorian images is adorable:
It's hard for me to pass up pretty bowls such as this one:
The thrift store can be hit-or-miss, but lately it's been more hits!
I'll be sharing these with Debra's Vintage Inspiration Friday and Courtney's Feathered Nest Friday.

Love all your finds. The fans and paper lanterns are so very cute.. Love the dishes as well. Thanks for sharing.
Its amazing how people are practically giving china away these days.
I guess it is like the days of people actually using it for dining purposes are over.
But boy it sure is beautiful!

sooooooooo jealous!!! let's plan a Picker Sistah trip soon! ;)
What a pretty things...love Ria...xxx...
I cold go to our thrift store every day and never see quality items like you've found. The print is just beautiful!
You lucky picker sisters!! I can only dream of finds like that in my thrift hunts. Not that I've had any lately. Not enough time or room to display them. Sigh...good thing my blog friends post about their finds. :)
I love all your finds--especially the frame. So fun to find cool stuff!
Nothing like the thrill of the hunt! You never know what you'll find when out thrifting, looks like you found some amazing treasures! Love those paper lanterns, how fun! And your china is so pretty, too. Enjoy!
Lovely finds! I also saw your most recent piece in the latest issue of Somerset Life. Just beautiful. Congratulations!
Susan.....
Wow! What lovely finds. I know what you mean.... I have to go to the post office at least every few days and there are two thrift stores and two antiques stores on the way. I seldom make it home without stopping at at least one.
I LOVE the vintage china but my favorite is the pleated pillow! If you decide to sell it in your shop let me know. I am crazy for vintage pillows. I picked up two pink satin ones at my local DAV just this week.
I always enjoy my visits here.
Hope you will pop over to see me. Elizabeth

Ha, ha! Thought the pretty paper lantern was a pillow. Guess I didn't read very well the first time around!
You are a lucky girl...love your finds!
I have a china set similar to the one you found but in pink that I am saving for spring in the shop! It was a shower gift that I have never used!
Definitely hits Susan!!! You found the loveliest things. That's what I would call great hunting and gathering!!! I live a long way from our nearest thrifts stores, but when I go I usually can find something that i have to bring home.
I LOVED your crate liner in your previous post. SO PRETTY!!!!
