On Saturday, I went to a flea market with my friend Mary and her mother. We found a few things, but, that's for another post.
Afterwards, I ventured by myself to the Salvation Army store in Wilmington. I had two recommendations about this store from friends so I decided to check it out. I had never been to a Salvation Army store but I was told you can find some amazing things for very little money.
A quick walk through and I was ready to leave immediately. It looked like the store was filled with either racks and racks of clothes or country decor. Neither of which interested me. I was almost one foot out the door when I spied some teacups in a showcase. I looked and sure enough, there were teacups!! They were just the kind I like, footed and/or lustreware.
I asked how much and I was told they were $4.99 each. I bought 5 of them. When I got them home I put them with the old tea chest I just purchased from Barn House. Then of course I had to photograph them for you!

And I'm so glad you did! They're beautiful.
Isn't it so fun to find such beautiful treasures and for a bargain, too!?! And the Salvation Army is such an outstanding charitable organization, doing good works around the world.
