So today I had a happy thrift expedition with Pat. She got loads of books and a great tea towel. I found, first, the big bowl. It weighs a ton, is extra large and has seashells all over it. Seafood salad at a party? Pasta salad on surf and turf night? Great deal. Then I found the little bowl which didn't photograph too well, but it has fleur d'lis and pressed roses all around it! It is beautiful. And the little one was only $1.00. Katie loves all things French, and cranberry sauce, so I guess this is going to be how I serve her holiday sauce. Then the mistake.I am almost out of gas. I think I have to call Triple A soon if I don't get gasoline. I go to a Citgo and the pumps will not reset or read my card. I'm flustered, so I leave, drive five miles and find a Hess which would have been perfect ($4.01????) but realize, I left my gas cap at Citgo. So I put some gas in the car and drive five miles back north and - no gas cap at the station. So, it's somewhere on US1. I look. Nowhere to be found. So now it's time for a trip to Napa Auto Parts, which, luckily, had my gas cap for a mere $6.37. I'm happy about this, but it sucked the joy out of my thrifty bargains. Oh well. I never have done that before, zoomed off in a huff and left the gas cap on the trunk. Live and learn. Nice bowls though.....

Sorry about your gas cap! LOVE the bowls! The one with the sea shells is mine favorite!
They had a giant, like 18 in. diameter round tray that matched the shell bowl. I have at least twenty trays, some of which I will never use, but still kick myself for not getting that also. Do you do that? Leave something behind and regret it later? I mean, it was $3.00. What was I thinking?
Thanks for your comment. Keep up the happy thrifting.
Linda
