It has been months since I had a good yard sale, thrift store, curbside browse and I am feeling the need for a little thrift therapy :>) I wouldn't say I'm addicted to the hunt. No, addiction is a pretty strong word with negative connotations, and I don't think thrifting is negative, therefore, it can't be an addiction, right? Hmmm. Well, I just happened to be in a thrift store the other day, and these bowls were being put out. I love red, and this deep, rich red with roses is so pretty! Four soup bowls and a large vegetable/serving bowl and I had a coupon for half off so I snapped them up. They say Myott, Staffordshire England on the back and they are in really great shape. SO, I come in the door and pull them out to show youngest daughter (who is so much like her father!). Look honey aren't these pretty? She looks at me and says, "did you need those for something?" Well..., yeah..., I can use these for soup and... stuff.... Well, what does need have to do with it anyway? Someday I'm going to remember that question when she is all grown up and a bargain (addict) hunter herself!

Oh I think that 'youngest daughter' needs retraining. You better start now. "did you need those for something?" What a funny thing to say!!LOL
Alison
but of course! Geeze! Is there a difference between "want" and "need"? I say NO (when it comes to thrifting) wants and needs are the same (because the prices are so terrific of COURSE you NEED it!
YES...you needed these bowls. They are beautiful. They were orphans and you provided a home for them...LOL What a wonderful find.. Lucky you
Haha, yes you needed them. They are so pretty to. You will definately enjoy them. I too can not wait for a good yard sale or thrift find. It can't come fast enough.
Those are very pretty soup bowls and it's great that you got them at a good price!

The bowls are just beautiful. And you are right what does need have to do with it.

That's exactly what my daughter would say! That younger crowd, they just don't appreciate the hunt do they? I love the dishes...I too would have snapped those puppies up. They are beautiful.
Ha, I have a daughter like that too. She would say, "you BOUGHT that?" Ah, phooey.
Happy weekend, you found some lovely dishes. Now go make some soup!
Blessings,
Melissa
Hi Kathleen! Thanks for dropping by and taking part in the survey, it's been so much fun! Have a great weekend~xo
HERE, HERE!!! Your friends all get it and am happy you bought them! Lori
Hi Kathy! Of course you need these, anyone would need these beautiful finds!! Your daughter is so cute, you are right, wait until she is all grown up, she'll be wanting to 'borrow' them from you :) Jenn and Jacqui
Kathy,
You always find the prettiest things! These are gorgeous and will look great in your house! I am ready for thrifting too! I NEED some new treasures also. Hugs, Jan
What gorgeous bowls. You can never have too many of something that pretty :-) Rosie
I just discovered your Etsy shop and love your hearts to bits. I too am addicted to flea markets and estate sales and here in the frozen midwest it seems a long way til spring and summer when I can treasure hunt to my heart's content. I plan to stop back often!

My husband sees no "need" for any of my dishes either! He keeps threatening to enlarge the house just to fit all the dishes! Okay I tell him! Great find! Too funny about your daughter.
