Today we are joining Thrifty Things Friday on Diann's blog, The Thrifty Groove and Show and Tell Friday on Cindy's blog, My Romantic Home. We're also joining Follow Me Fridays.
Savers is a supermarket-sized thrift store, the proceeds of which benefit Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
Wouldn't all thrifty shoppers just love to go there?
Whenever the opportunity comes to go to Saver's, I jump at it because there are almost always terrific things to be found. Many are top quality.
There have even been times when items had original store price tags on them. Isn't that just amazing?
This is the kind of bowl that would make any salad look fabulous!
Picking this beauty up, I turned it over. It said "Tabletops Unlimited." It was part of Espana (Spain) dinnerware, in La Barca (boat ) pattern.
It still had a Macy's sticker on the bottom, too.
The design around the bowls edges is just bursting with many colors.
Another dazzling design can be found inside the bowl. You can see it below.
The price was $12.99.
That's a LOT more than what I'd usually pay for a thrift store item, other than furniture, but this intricately patterned bowl really appealed.
I'd be willing to bet this bowl in Macy's would cost a LOT more, don't you think?
So it came home with me. It will not be joining other items on my eBay site because this little beauty is all mine. OLE!
DO YOU LIKE PATTERNED DINNERWARE OR DO YOU PREFER PLAIN?

You do know how ot find a treasure, Susan.
I can see why you were attracted to this bowl, Susan!
I don't blame you for getting the beautifully decorated bowl even if you had to spend a little more money. I like the best deal possible but it doesn't feel so bad if I am shopping at a place where I know my money will help someone. That happened to me recently when I just had to have some silver plated flatware and paid a lot more than is my usual amount for a shop like that. If looking at the bowl makes you happy then don't worry about the price. That's what I tell myself, anyway. Heehee.-----Shannon

Beautiful bowl Susan! I love patterns and plain...hard to choose! hugs, Linda
It's too pretty to eat salad in.
