It's Thrifting "Deja ju" All Over Again

• She is like merchant's ships, she bringeth her food (and other things!) from afar
• She looketh well to the ways of her household

I'm so excited about my second "deja vu" thrift find! Remember the cute little J&G Meakins red (or pink, according to the source) vine bowl I found for my first thrift store purchase? After my last "thrifting" post about looking over local thrift shops, I had two different comments telling me I needed to take a little road trip to Opelika, Alabama and visit Harvest Thrift and Angel's Antique Mall and Flea Market. So last Saturday hubby and I decided to take a drive and look things over.

And guess what I found at Angel's Antique Mall and Flea Market? (you can click on the pictures to enlarge them for details)

Aren't they beautiful??

And I almost missed them.

These and a few others were tucked in on the bottom shelf of one of dozens and dozens of booths. I went down this row front to back once, and was intending to come back up the next one, but I confess--I was trying to avoid a family with some very over tired children who badly needed naps that seemed to be dogging my steps--so I zigged when they zagged and came back up the way I had come, trying to follow a different flight path through the store. But if I hadn't done that, I would have never spotted these!

I was so excited I screeched squealed like a little girl! I grabbed the only cup and saucer they had, and stood in indecision over the rest. There were a few dinner plates that were in really bad shape--stained and badly discolored, and a stack of the fruit bowls and bread plates. I finally choose the best three of the fruit bowls, and four of the bread plates. Along with the bowl I already have, that will make four of each of these.

The bowls and bread/dessert plates were $2.50 each, the cup and saucer $3.50.

The fruit bowls and the saucer have the same mark as the bowl I already have.

The bread/dessert plates have a larger mark.

We had a lot of fun, but didn't see even half of what they had at Angel's. There were a number of things I'd like to go back and look at again, plus there are rows and rows of booths that I didn't even get to look at. I want to go back to Harvest Thrift as well--I did find one thing there that I'm saving for another post--and we never even made it to the Salvation Army thrift store at the end. By that time we were hot and tired and hungry, so it will have to wait for another day.
