I'm complaining more often!

A few posts ago I was complaining of never finding Folk Art at garage sales or thrift stores. Well, look what I found at a flea market last weekend......The largest canister! Now my set is complete. I must give DH credit for this find. My Mom and I had been standing right in front of it admiring a pie plate that had a pumpkin cover on it. I never looked at anything else on that table. DH caught up with me at the next booth asking whether or not I'd seen the Folk Art (yes I have him trained well!) I couldn't believe that I missed it. What a buy at $7.00 and it's in mint condition. I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy the other one that was on the table - the next size down for $5.00 - one of you out there would have wanted it I'm sure.
Have you ever been in a Gordman's store? It's kind of like TJ Maxx but WAY better. I found this little jug there for $3.99! Couldn't believe all the primitive decorations they had. The only draw back is it was made in China.


Have a great weekend. ~Ann

  12. Wow! Congrats on your Folk Art find! I don't have the canisters, but maybe one of these days.

    I love the little prim jug too. It has a great look no mater where it was made and it looks great where you have it.

  14. How fortunate you found the cannister! And the new jug looks like it's of similar color.
    Wish we had a Gordmans by us - lots of girls mention going there.

    I just sold a huge entire set of Pfaltzgraff 'Yorktown' dishes at our rummage sale last week. Someone was mighty happy getting them.
