This past weekend I found some sweet friends while visiting an antique shop.
I wasn't familar with their maker, Norleans {from Japan}, so I did a little research. Turns out they were made in the 50's from lightweight porcelain.
One I found on line was about $25 with shipping...I paid around $6.00.
Yea.
At a thrift store, I found these guys...they were in pristine condition. The aluminum tray was another find.
I'm always on the lookout for pretty glass pieces.
I was in luck, found these salt and pepper shakers and decanter.
The top of the decanter can be filled...my mother has gotten me hooked on them.
The tea cup was a loner...no saucer...but very pretty.
I'm going to turn him into a tassel.
My sister and I were able to spend the entire day shopping in Llano, Texas while our husbands went dove hunting. I'm not a hunter and don't know too much about the "ranch life", but sure enjoyed the slower pace. People were so very friendly, helpful, and just plain nice.
Thanks for stopping by to visit, enjoy your day!
