Thrift Store Report

[moon_custafer]

Took some books to the Goodwill this morning - Fridays everything is half off, so I ended up getting two dresses, a pair of brown suede slingback pumps, a bell-jar-like thingy, and a china cup and saucer for a total of eleven dollars. I looked up the cup when I got home - it's Royal Albert, in the pattern "Honeysuckle" and the cup shape "Avon," and was manufactured some time between 1927 and 1935. It's not wildly valuable, but at three dollars, I got a bargain.

My well-meaning but wildly off-the-mark grandmother, is gradually supplying us with an entire set of Royal Albert in Country Roses. These will eventually be mime, she says.
I always say that I'll have the best place-settings in the asylum when the dolls and I have tea parties.

Don (who sometimes comments here) was given his grandmother's china by his sister on condition he take it away so it would stop cluttering the garage. He had us over for tea.
