Vintage Glassware

Lately Goodwill and a few other thrift stores have been very good to me. Im going to break up my finds by catagories because Im far too lazy to post them all at once haha! Hey Im honest! These are the recent glassware goodies.

Termocrisa, Mexicos version of Fire King

Folky mugs

50s glasses. They arent in the best of shape but for 99 cents eh whatever. Sad thing is alot of the damage done was taking the dang tape off that they use to keep sets together. Anyone know of a better way to get the tape off? Maybe soaking them? Or maybe alcohol and cotton balls? WHY am I thinking of these things now? Let me know what you ladies do!

A Few Good Finds

So sorry for the lack of posts. My mind has been on other things. Mainly my husband coming home for R&R next month!!! Awesome that he will be home, sucky that its only for about 2 weeks. But Ill take it!
Anyhoo I found a new thrift store in town the other day. I think I might have seen it before but Im never in that area. One day we happened to be so me and the kids got our thrift on. I spent about $10 and this is what I got.

Forgive le dirt. I didnt clean them up before I took the photos doh! Anyways I found a Hakusan China cup and snackplate. So cute. I think they were made in the early 40s but not sure. Anyone know?

Two wooden tiki masks for a hangin'. One is a lil chipped and doesnt have the hook anymore but the chip adds to the charm and Im sure I can add a hook later.

6 more plates to add to the 24 pieces I found at Goodwill last year. The pattern is called Platinum Starburst and I believe these were made in 1935.

Cute N Lil


Just like my lil Lorelei. I found this purse at Goodwill not too long ago for $1.79. Super cute I think but too small for this mama. I need something big enough to lug purse and diaper bag essentials. If it was bigger I would keep it for myself but it just so happens to be the perfect size for a fashionable toddler! This is the same Goodwill I found her cute little red jewelry box that if it had been bigger I wouldve kept it for myself ha! Everytime I go there I find something miniature size for her. Shes a lucky lady.
