when fighting the winter blahs, head straight for the thrift store and buy the brightest, happiest thing you can find. 79 cents and one daisy-covered plate later and I'm practically a new woman.
Omg! I grew up with those plates! They always made me happy! I wonder what ever happened to the set? A very good thing to fight off the winter blues. Erin :)
Unlike some of your readers, I didn't have these plates growing up - I had them as a student sharing a house with my best friend, and SHE had a set of these. They remind of my good times!
That sounds like a much healthier option than the multiple bowls of homemade spaghetti and meatballs I've been downing.
ReplyDeleteThrift store. Rainy Days. Check.
NICE! i always feel like anything under a buck is actually better than free. i love picking something up for like 35 cents. it can't be beat!
ReplyDeleteoh i totally have one of those plates! awesome thrift store find :)
ReplyDeletei totally agree with your methodology! :)
ReplyDeletei just had a round of thrift therapy on sunday. spent an hour and a half combing the shelves and racks and found some very sweet vintagey stuff.
*happy*

ReplyDeleteMy mother in law has a whole set of these :-) We eat dinner on them allll the time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good idea. I might do it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteit is the simple things, right?
ReplyDeleteGood idea, but 79 cents doesn't go very far in New York. I'm embarrassed to say I opted for a beer from the fridge instead.
ReplyDeleteseems like a pretty solid recipe.
