Treasure Hunting Tuesday: Thrifted Dishes
October 21, 2014
Happy Tuesday! First, thank you thank you for your sweet words about our big move. It’s going to be a whacky winter, that’s for sure! Can’t wait to tell you all about our next home as soon as a few more things are finalized. It’s so exciting!
On to today’s treasures: we’re talking thrifted dishes.
I tell you what, there is a whole lot of crap on the dish isle of a thrift store. Dishes you wonder why anyone every bought in the first place. But lemme tell you what, on one very lucky day, I hit the thrifted dish gold mine. Speaking of gold….
Yep, gold Greek Key. I was in love instantly. I’m a Greek key lovin’ fool, as I’ve professed many a time here. A complete set of four, with some extra teacups and soup bowls and a few random teacups. I wish so much it was 6 or 8, but I figured I would snatch it up and search for additional pieces later on Replacements. After doing some research, I learned they are kind of an obscure brand– GNA– and finding more of the set will be tricky.
If you come across some, let me know! The dishes were $1-$1.50 a piece. Steal-o-rama.
A few days later I found this set of, you guessed it, four, gold rimmed vintage glasses. I love them oh so much and thought they would be lovely with the aforementioned dishes. And they are. A buck a glass and I felt like I had struck gold. (see what I did there?)
So treasure hunters, have you snatched up anything good lately?

It doesn’t get better than gold Greek Key. So good
I live in Salt Lake as well and try my best to make it to the local DI’s but I very rarely seem to find anything. Do you have any favorite DI’s or other thrift stores in the valley? 🙂
Hi Rebecca, I often get asked for my favorites and honestly I don’t have one! I hit different ones all the time. I love DI– you just have to get lucky and go frequently!
