Well...This Little Group Of Franciscan Duet Is The Last Of The Sunday Columbia Mo. Booty. It's Not So Impressive Except That I Actually Need That Salt / Pepper Shaker Set And Those Ladles Aren't Exactly Easy To Find. Status: Added To The Collection.

So these were actually two different lots from the same vendor.  I wasn't sure if I needed the Gravy Boat but I wanted that ladle.  The salt and pepper shakers where a shot in the dark too.  Turns out I needed 'em.

The Spring Collection. Yup, It's That Time. Had To Swap Out The Salem Northstar For The Franciscan Duet! Status: Displayed...yet Available.

In celebration of the (long awaited!) coming of Spring I've taken down the Salem Northstar I had displayed on the top shelf of the china cabinet and replaced it with this fine collection of Franciscan Duet.

Got Up Early This Morning to Pick Up a Cool Table And Stopped By the Salvation Army St. Chuck. Status: Always Something Good!

Found this Amazing setting for Four of Franciscan Duet this morning. I'm not a morning person but I guess it pays to get up early! I snatched this set up, but there's plenty of cool goodies left for the picking. See more inside!

Snatched Up This 8 Piece Franciscan Duet Supplement Set Over The Weekend From Unique Thrift. Status: Sometimes "More" Is More!

There are 8 pieces here but on of the side plates has a sizable chip in the back of it's edge and there is a small chip on the top edge of one of the dinner plates. It's all good though. This set isn't perfect and isn't intended to be just displayed but actually used. I now have a nice 31 piece set of this Franciscan Duet available for immediate delivery!

Number 1000. Nothing Any More Special About This Post Than That. Just Another Day And Some Cool Second Hand Finds. Status: Check The New(ish) Header?

You'd think I save something special for a day like today.  I just don't roll that way.  Posting daily means I just don't have time to plan what I post about on say "Fridays".  I would have liked to have had something really cool for today, but this little lot ain't nothing to sneeze at, right?

Don't Think What I Showed Ya Yesterday Was All I Spied Up At The Thrift Shops. Status: Mostly Snatched.

But first...Thrifts Of Terror!!! I've got just two words for this thing...WTF? This is a seriously messed up looking "toy". I bet somebody out there has some explanation of what this is all about. Care to enlighten and assuage my fears?

Pulled All The Russel Wright (Whew...) And Dragged Out The Franciscan Trio. Status: Keepin' It Real.

I got bored with all the Russel Wright in the china cabinet and since we're having a change of season, I thought it might be time to change up the display.  It's all Vintage Modern Franciscan now and for the time being.  I was surprised how much R.W. I had to put away!  I got LOTS.

This Is Most Of The Smalls We Picked Up At The Canton TX First Monday Flea Market. The Girlfriend Nabbed A Bag Or Two Of Salt And Pepper Shakers That I'll Share Later But This Is My Loot. Status: Typical Flea Haul.

Just about everybody we told that we were in the area for the Canton Flea looked at us like we were nuts.  Even some of the comments here on the blog disparaged the Canton First Monday Flea Market.  "Why?" was what everyone seemed to be asking.  Sure, there might be places with more abundant vintage modern offerings, but generally places with better ratios of Wheat to Chaff are gonna cost you more...and I like separating that Wheat and Chaff!
