I am off on Mondays so I like to hit the thrift stores with my sweetie. Here is what I found this past Monday.
I found three of these beautiful made in Bavaria handpainted and artist signed porcelain plates. I wasn't sure that I wanted to buy all three but when I got home and researched the mark I am sure glad that I got all three.
I love pottery, especially handmade pottery in blues and browns. I feel like I am rescuing a little piece of Americana when I bring home these gems. Yes, just like the boys from the "American Pickers" TV show!
Yee Haw! I love this 1950s era Tourist trade piece! It goes right along with my other western themed items.
I love books, especially old children's books. The Abe Lincoln book is from 1956. The "Pu Der Bar" is from the 1970s but I just had to have it because it is a German language verson of "Winnie the Pooh".
I'm adding this post to Tales from Bloggeritaville for Thrifty Thursday. Join the fun!

Thanks so much for the visit.
I really like the books! German for Winnie the Pooh--I wonder if I would have figured that out? neat!
I adore vintage books-- I would have snapped those up too! The Pu der bar is too cute.
