Meakin and Other Thrifty Bits

Hello there, how are you? I hope you have had a great weekend. For once we have had a dry weekend here, yay I managed to do all of my washing. 

Now that it is Monday again I thought I would share some more of my thrifty finds. I had been trying steer clear of thrifting in an effort to save some pennies but it seems that cold turkey didn't work and so last week I had a little slip, oooops. I didn't spend too much really but I spent more than I should have. I will have to try harder this week.

Last weeks finds include this beautiful Meakin bowl




Another Meakin bowl (I love a bit of Meakin)


A Meakin jug, I told you I love Meakin


A Woods Ware bowl


Some lovely Pyrex dishes



A Hornsea dog and turtle that I couldn't resist


And last but by no means least an unused Barratts of Staffordshire tea set.


Have been lucky in your thrifting adventures?
To see what other lucky peeps have found go and see Sophie or Apron Thrift Girl.

    I was lusting at your finds and wondering...what is this Meakin? Then I saw that you live over the pond and realized these beauties were English. I think those two bowls are just wonderful. Lucky you!

    Poor you four wisdoms ooowww. I'd stay away too.

    Loved the second Meakin dish and the pyrex too. Is it well behaved to lust after other peoples thrifty finds?
