Grabbed Up Some Goodies This Afternoon Down The Street at the Thrift Stores. Wood, Metal and Glass! Status: Amazing Condition!

I had to get my Thrift Fix today so the Girlfriend and I went out to check the traps. Didn't find anything HUGE but I found a few useful vintage items. Most of the stores (we hit the six closest to home) seem to be thin on inventory. Weird. I can't think of a reason why this might be. Coincidence I guess. I hope.

A mere $3 brought this cheese and cracker serving dish home.  Looks like it's

never been used!  Items like these really set the "Look" when you have a party or

just guests.  It's awesome when these are "as new"!  You might find something like

this a Crate and Barrel or ::shivers:: Ikea, but it ain't gonna cost $3!

I can just remember going to parties with my parents when I was little in the mid

seventies and seeing items like these being used circa "current".   Wow, I had no

idea that I'd be driving all around town trying to recreate their lifestyle!  I'm just

happy that (apparently) a lot of people bought or received these and never used

them!

Can I interest you in some cheese and crackers?

...no?  Then how about a Cordial?

This little Cordial Caddie was $4.  Another bargain!  And useful too.  A good host

has to be able to bring the libations to his (or her) people, doing it efficiently just

makes good sense!  I wish I had two of these.  But then, even at a good size party

you won't get too many Cordial Customers.  Thanfully I have a caddie or two that

can carry bottles of beer!

Mmmmm....don't that look tasty and refreshing?  It'll make you giggle a little too, if

you are in the right mood.  My current favorite is Tuaca.  It's very smooth and

sweet with taste of Carmel.  It's also got a pretty good kick with 35% alcohol /

volume.
