Gloria,
I am in awe of all the wonderful things you got at the hospice!!! Everything is pretty and you have great ideas for every bit of it. The tea set is so pretty, the tablecloth looks great where you have it, the little baskets~I think they were used as nut bowls back in the 50's and 60's at cocktail parties. Oh my. I'd love to take a trip down there and go with you some time. Would they allow a Yankee in?? I wanted to mention, you might want to show off your goodies on Thriftin' Thursday. You could make a lot of gals drool alot!! LOL!! ;-) Leigh from Bloggeritaville hosts this.
I loved hearing about your small town. That is a lot like our town in Michigan where our lake is. We have to go to the surrounding towns for EVERYTHING!! But the people in town are so nice. I wanted to mention also (and please don't think I am pushing anything on you) Melissa from Huckleberry Prarie is hosting a Best Town In America event July 1st. You can sign up and show off your town!! Pictures, stories, whatever. I think it is great to do this before the 4th of July and it will be so cool to see where all of you blogging ladies live!! Anyway~if you are interested, you can click on their blogs that are on my sidebar.
You have a wonderful weekend, my Gloria Lady!!
xoxo

I just want to see the warehouse that you're building to hold all of these goodies!
Gloria you are an amazing shopper! The ironstone is so great, especially love the first tureen! And those lily plates and bowls, oh my godness are they fabulous!! These will make the best looking tablescape. You did great sweetie. Hope Kyra came thru surgery well, the little sweetie is crawling? Soon walking, where does the time go!! Have a great weekend Love ya G! xoxox
Oh Geez Gloria, I never find Ironstone for those great prices! I loved all of your finds!
I will be praying for Baby Kyra!!!
xoxoxoxoxo
Donna Marie
Oh Gloria, you are one extraordinary shopper! What an eye for the best things, at amazing prices. LOVE your thrift finds this past month!
good luck with your MIL -- "Marie," eh? Hahahaha... we all know what that's like!
And I love your small town justice. Hey,it works!
Cass
Good grief, Gloria! For a small town thrift store you sure hit pay dirt with all of those goodies! I don't think I've come home with that much stuff on all of my thrifting trips combined.
Extra thoughts and prayers going out for Kyra and family.
First I hope Kyra is OK. 2nd your finds are always amazing. 3rd those gum ball machines are awesome. You have the most interesting home and posts. I love to come and visit.
Joyce
My goodness! What a haul! You did great. I was just at our good will and I found nothing. : ( Plus some of the stuff is way over priced....
What's up with that?!
Have a great weekend! :)
~Liz
What terrific treasures you found!!
I love all of it!! especially the darling lamp, the ironstone, that great glass vase thingamajig, I think that it would work great for the cloche party too! That cute little pitcher with the fruit on it was a great deal for only a dollar!! hey I'll give ya 3.00 for it lol! It's soo cute!
I loved the story about your small town! Sounds like a great place. I love that people have to do community service in lieu of fines, great idea!
I think I'm ready for some small town livin! Mine USED to be like that! But the population has exploded in the last few years! I'm sick and tired of the constant sound of sirens all the time, among other things!
I think it's wonderful that the thrift store donates it's proceeds to the hospice. I need to make a trip to Jackson and check out this great thrift store sometime!!
Great post Gloria! Thanks!
Sherri:)
Wow, I love our Hospice Thrift Store. They have the neatest things. Everything is just so pretty and the prices are fabulous. I realllllllly love those Lily plates and bowls. Now they are extra special. Your glass container has such a beautiful shape. I can't wait to see what you do with it. It would be perfect to decorate for the Cloche Party. You are so good at that sort of thing, I just know you will do something spectacular. Hope you have a super weekend. Kyra is always in my prayers. I so often think about her darling Giggle video. Much love friend. Hugs, Marty
Hi Gloria,
My girl, you hit the jackpot! Wait, you already have some of those slot machines, or is that hubby? Anyhoo, I am in awe of this post! Every single solitary thing you got is beautiful and a fabulous buy. Now, if you're house is every getting too crowded, I'm sure I could take a few things off your hands. LOL. (just kidding) kind of. We live in a small town too, although not that small but the whole area is pretty rural. Have a lovely week-end, hugs, Cindy
Gloria,
Who needs a big city when you have shopping this wonderful right in your back yard! I am definitely more of a country mouse then a city mouse. Small towns can be so endearing and filled with charm. Your sweet little Kyra has been through so much it just doesn’t seem fair. She is in my thoughts and prayers. Have a safe journey to the birthday party. ~Cathy~
Gloria, You are so much fun to know.
Everything you show us from the Hospice store is pure treasure! I also love hearing about your little town and how it feels to live there. I grew up in a very small town in IL close to St. Louis and I miss that small town feeling. I wouldn't mind driving 15 miles at all to bank, etc.....
Gloria, I would love to have a store like that nearby, but I'm afraid it would always be empty, because between you and I shopping, they would sell out quickly! Such fabulous treasures, and such fabulous prices! I see lots of wonderful tablescapes coming out of this one shopping trip. That fringe on that tablecloth is absolutely wonderful! All of your treasures are so wonderful! laurie
Hope you have a super weekend!
♥ HUGS ♥
You got some great things. I will be back when I get a little more time to check some more of your posts. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Glenda
Gloria, you have got to be the best bargain hunter in the world! I can't believe all the treasures this great store has, and what a wonderful cause. I love the ironstone, I can't believe the prices. And that basket of flowers, did you see Dixies after she painted it white? I think yours would look great. Have fun at the Swap Meet Sunday, can't wait to see what you bring home from that! Kathy
Oh good grief, I forgot to tell you that I'm keeping Kyra in my prayers. She's such a little love bunny I know she will do great! Kathy
Hi Gloria! I am amazed at all of the gret finds you always buy there! You know I heart that tureen! You do have the makings there for a gret tablescape! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend...hugs...Debbie
I just know you posted that tea pot set to taunt me!!! I am drooling...all your finds are great..but you already knew to put that set on my "list" right????
love you mom!!!!
You are the most beautiful sexy sweet and smart mom in the whole world....how is that for ass kissing? lol...now will you put those on my list to take home when I get there??? hee hee!
love ya...I really mean that!
Hi Happy! Thanks for the update on the baby, she's such a little trooper, I know you must be so proud of how brave she is! You sure found some treasures didn't you? I went to the Salvation Army today and found a few pieces of milk glass. I decided if I can find some at thrift stores or garage sales, I just might have a new thing to collect. HA "Talk" soon!
Gloria, that a charming town you live in. You can almost shut your eyes from the rest of the craziness going on in the big towns. You found some absolutely wonderful things at rock-bottom prices, and the worthy cause makes it even better. Way to go! Linda
you found some amazing things! love them all. my favorite is the tea pot with sugar & creamer. very pretty.
Gloria, You found some beautiful things. I really love that tablecloth! We moved to a little town like yours 20 years ago,but it has changed a lot,they call it progress, but I like the way it was when we moved here much better.
Elizabeth
Wow, you got some really neat things. I think the little lamp is perfect for your guest bathroom. I just love lamps in bathrooms, it is such a pretty touch. Those ironstone tureens were a steal, $4.50 & $3.50??? I do think the nut baskets will be great for salt cellars, and oh my goodness, the lily plates and bowls are absolutely darling!! I want to go to this Hospice store with you!!!
I hope baby Kyra is doing wonderful after her surgery on Monday. She is such a precious little girl. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, Nicole
I love the tea pot set! Really pretty. I wish I had the luck you have with finding such nice things.
How are you doing????? How is the baby?
how did i miss this post!, you got some really things but the tea set is just gorgeous,great finds my friend...hope you are having a wonderful weekend..xx
silvia.
Good grief, Gloria! What wonderful things you've found and I just can't believe the prices you paid! They were giving these things away! That tablecloth with the fringe is just gorgeous! I love that! Those pretty bowls and the tureen! Man, I wish I could find treasures like this!
To answer your question, yes, that's my only daughter, my baby.
Oh, I wanted to tell you, my hubby found an old stamp machine, probably not that old, but he had to have it. It gave stamped envelopes with 22 cent stamps on them or two postcards with 14 cent stamps on them! I thought of your hubby and the slot machines! Men, we gotta love 'em!
I'm loving your big pictures - they look fantastic!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;0
Gloria, you find the best things at the hospice! I'm in awe - and a little bit green... ☺ Diane
Hi Gloria! I've missed you girl! Oh my gosh our puter has been a mess ansd still is. Alex has been working on it non stop trying to redo it and add all kinds of fixes. UGH! I'm still not sure about it all.
Look at all your gorgeous finds at Hospice. You do know how to shop my friend. Love the soup tureen and the delicate glass bowl/vase cloche? That would be pretty for it. I need to buy one so I can join in the party!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Thanks so much for all the kind words about our bathrooms.
You're the best! ~Melissa :)

Oh lordy girl...Bill came home last night and I showed him what you sent me....lol lol you should have seen the look on his face!!! He looked and then said 'what exactly did she send you, hon?' lol I picked up a piece and said 'THIS! ISN'T SO PRETTY!' I think he was ready to get us both some medication girl!!!!! lol lol
he said "This is the same friend out in California right.....the one that sent you all those pretty gifts? 'I said "Yes that's her'....then he said 'How old did you say this woman was?' (I think he was thinking you need to be on some type of medication!lol)
Then he looks at me and says "Hon..why did this woman go out and get some moss and mail it to YOU!!!!!" lol lol I was about to die!!!!! He was almost as funny as Sofie!!!!! lol lol
He just doesn't understand blogland and our need for moss in our cloches! lol lol Oh my word girl I wish I had all that on video starting from where Sofie opened the box! lol lol I'll have to put that on my blog! lol lol

Holy cow, you could fill a whole kitchen from that store for less than $100! Why don't I have one of those here? Hmmm... maybe I should google it?
And go Kyra! We want that tube out too!
Justine :o )
