Thrift Finds: Cuisinart Blender, Dishes, and a Tea-For-One Set

Thrift Find: Cuisinart SmartPower Premier Blender
Found At: Goodwill: Jupiter, Florida
Price Paid: $12.98
Why I'm So Excited: I needed a blender. I saw this one at Goodwill, all taped together and impossible to test, and took a chance. Three people actually picked it out of my cart as I was pushing it to the register, trying to buy it themselves. (Craziness! Vultures, all!) I have the same blender at home in Chicago, a wedding gift. I got home and did some googling and discovered it was a $100 blender and, with some cleaning, worked awesomely. Hello, bean dip! Hello, pureed soups! Hello, fruit smoothies! :D :D :D



Thrift Find: April Cornell Tea-For-One Set
Found At: Goodwill: Evans, Georgia
Price Paid: $2?
Why I'm So Excited: I've always wanted a tea-for-one set. This one stacks so neatly--saucer, mug, teapot, lid. It had the stickers still on it--unused--and is a glorious shade of blue with an embossed songbird design on the teapot. And it was crazy cheap. So I can enjoy the ritual of tea, all out, and foo-foo and girly. :D



Thrift Find: 20 piece Mikasa French Countryside Dishes
Found At: Goodwill: North Palm Beach, Florida
Price Paid: $25.00
Why I'm So Excited: This wasn't very cheap, in terms of thrift-store dishware, but the set was exactly what we needed to give us everyday dishes her at the winter house and the design is simple, elegant, and timeless. They're also just girly enough that I feel I'm getting away with something with Daniel. ;D
