I hit my favorite "as is" store the other day and collected 67 pieces of assorted treasures. There was a new girl at the counter and she looked over everything and timidly asked "Would $8 be okay"? Here is the haul
The platter, pyrex dishes and deviled egg tray, I will just use. The little bottles I use for seed sharing.The cups and saucers are Noritake, so I need a nice project for them.The chochkes I usually use in planters or maybe on a birdbath.
Here is a totem I made and the frog planter planted.
Thanks for hanging in on my long and rambling post |

Wow--67 pieces for $8!!!!
That is your buy of the year. LOL
Love the egg plate-I have several and
I guess you could call it a 'collection'.
The white totem looks GOOD! |

| WOW! You probably need to tell all of us where this store is :) |

| The cups & saucers would make votive or tea light candle totems. Glue the saucer to the bottom of the cup, then glue a inverted bud vase under the saucer. Place them on small low poles along a sidewalk, and light the candles at dusk. TADA! Poor-mans solar lights LOL Others have made them the same way and use them as bird feeders. You just have to make sure to clean them regularly. |

| Wonderful haul! Good chotchkes! I have bought some dishes to break for mosaic recently that were just too pretty so I'm using them. They are the right shape to stack with my regular dishes. Kathy |
