I do. I do. I am addicted to junking. I stop at every Goodwill in town (4 of them) and at least 2 of the 4 ARC Thrift Stores at least once per month. I chase garage sale signs. You would laugh if you could hear the goings on inside my head! I try to resist and just tell myself I have PLENTY of Stuff at home and that I should Go shop in my own Garage already! Well today Goodwill won! At first I wasn’t finding anything and I thought that was okay. Until I spotted these:
Universal Ballerina Rose Plates. There are four dinner size plates. I got all excited and begin searching through all of the dishes as I didn’t want to miss one piece. I thought what if I find a matching cup & saucer! I did not. Here is the stamp on the back of these plates:
I would have been happy to just bring home one of them! They are so pretty!
While looking for more of the Rose plates I found these two Vintage French Arcoroc Pink Glass plates. I was happy with my Goodwill finds, but drove away feeling like I need to work on this “addiction.” Next time I’ll shop in my own Garage!

Hi Jocelyne:
Glad you found some good stuff. There is a lady in – I think Washington but not sure who finds incredible things at her Goodwill. I can't even believe the teapots, etc she finds. Her blog is Karen's cottage and castle. Check out what she finds. I mostly buy clothes and tins at the Ark. So glad you shared your goodies!
Hi Jocelyne,
We don't have a lot of thrift stores here but during the spring and summer months, there are garage sales everywhere. I'm glad you found those pretty Ballerina plates and what can I say? I love your French pink glass plates! Good job! Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day.
Autumn blessings,
Sandi
The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem, Jocelyne. Perhaps we should start an online support group for our thrifting addiction. Hee!
Dear Jocelynn:
Thanks for your sweet comments. I apologize if I already told you but I own the King and Queen (1939) cup and saucer from your booth! Thanks for being a customer and friend! God Bless!
