Hello there. I hope that you have had a good weekend.
This week I am only going to be sharing one thrifty find as I think that she deserves a post all of her own. She is one of my most favourite finds of all time and I thought it only fitting that she should hog the limelight.
I found her in the window of a local charity shop and I was immediately smitten. She was however a little more expensive than my usual finds and so she wasn't snapped up immediately. I have to admit that I actually left her at first whilst I explored other shops. I couldn't stop thinking about her though and so my hubby insisted that we go back and take her home because I loved her so much. It was indeed a good job that we went back for her when we did because as my dear Hubby was waiting to pay two women said that they too had come back to buy her.
Now the problem is that I have been unable to find out anything about her. She has no makers mark and her bottom only says Czechoslovakia. So, I was wondering, if anybody out there may know a little about her? If so I would be eternally grateful if you could share your knowledge no matter how small.
Now without further ado here she is....
May I just add that she is more of a rose colour than is showing in these pics. The light is particularly bad today.
For more thriftiness please call and see the many other bloggers at Her Library Adventures , Southern Hospitality and Apron Thrift Girl.
