My favorite find of the day was also the cheapest at $0.25!!! That's right, a quarter for a vintage book of Tennyson's poems, which I'm sure is worth more than a quarter!!
This Japanese tea kettle was a find at $5. It came new in a box with two matching tea cups. I've always loved these tea kettles and they are not cheap - even at Marshalls!
A brand new wok from Ikea with a cookbook included (forgot to put that in the picture, but it's hardcover)! $5.
I also couldn't pass up this set of dishes from Demdaco. The pattern is called Devonshire Place and it is a mix of pale yellow, sage green and lavender. There are 8 dessert plates that mix and match patterns, a teapot, sugar and creamer, two teacups with lids and matching saucers and a votive. I got the whole set for $12. There are no scratches or imperfections on any of them. I almost passed them up, but I'm glad I didn't as they look great in my Living Room curio.

I think you got some marvelous goodies! I never find things like that when I am out hunting...
Wow, you scored! I loved the IKEA wok and the tea pot and cups.
Fabulous finds. I think I like the dishes the best.
It looks like you scored big time! Great job!
I'm not a garage sale girl (just can't get out the door that early) but I sure do love a good thrift store!
You found some great things! Your new dishes look great on display.

Hi Kim...You found some marvelous deals...I especially love the dishes...they look perfect in your cabinet! ;-) Bo
Wow! Wish I had gone with you!! That Tennyson's poems book is well over a quarter. GREAT find! Lucky you! LOVE your bargains!
Those dishes are simply gorgeous! I love the colors & design. That Tennyson book looks well loved, as it should be!
Lovely dishes. I ran across the prettiest set at Savers last night....basically a no name pattern, made in China...they had broken the set up and the price on each compenent (salad plates, dinner plates, etc) came to more than another really nice set would be! AND it was priced higher than the Pfaltzgraff...what??? Monday is 50% off day so I might still go get them and see what they were thinking!
Wow, those are great looking dinnerware and teapot sets! And your other finds are wonderful as well! ;-)
Score! What neat finds! I love the dishes, tea kettle...everything. You did a good job!

The dishes are beautiful, but I think I like your poetry book best too. My dad used to read us poetry after dinner and he read us Tennyson. It is beautiful.

Oh, I wanna go shopping with you! What fabulous treasures you found! That china set is beautiful! What a deal that was. I love old books, so I love your book of poems too. Now, why can't I ever find bargains like that? After all, I'm the bargain hunter (are you trying to steal my title?) laurie
You found some great things! It made me want to go along- once gain.

Oh my goodness, those Tennyson poems are to die for! Did you look it up on Ebay? It's fun to know how much your treasure is worth :) Have a wonderful day~
That Tennyson book is a FANTASTIC find! I'm am so envious! I can not seem to find any good yard sales around here. I'll have to keep looking though ;o)
Girl you sure did walk away with one great book!!! I love old books and when I seen the picture of the book and the price you paid, I could not believe it! I looked the book up on a source that I have for old books because I was so curious. The oldest Tennyson book they have is dated 1893 and it is selling for $1,100.00!!! You may want to get some info. on this book!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful treasures!
