Old Pyrex Percolator

I somehow decided to stop over a local thrift store after work yesterday. I wasn’t expecting to find any treasures as I haven’t found anything good at the store for a long time. But I was thrilled when this old 4 cup Pyrex percolator on the shelf of the kitchen aisle caught my eyes. I have seen just pots sold on thrift stores but never found a complete set. The price tag of $4.99 also surprised me! I already have 9 cup percolator but it is too large for a daily use. So, 4 or 6 cup percolator has been on my wish list.
I leave thrift stores empty handed most of the time but this is why I cannot stop going there.

After learning “Flea Markets 101”

We went to an Antique Show & Flea Market last weekend. It was cloudy and a little cool Saturday morning. We arrived there around 8:15am (The gate was opened at 8:00am). There are many serious shoppers already, but we thought we did pretty well following “Flea Markets 101”.
Our target items this time were Fire King items: Mug, Cup & Saucer.
We brought the following to our home. Love them!

Beautiful Fire King Mugs and Cups & Saucers, cards and old thimbles

We are glad to know the “Flea Market 101” We got great deals for all items.

Treasure Hunt

Cute Treasures I found at a local flea market today.
Spent $4.00 and I got these!
Love these angels.

They are made in Japan.

I love hunting like these lovely stuff made in old days in Japan where I was born.
