Undomestic Goddess: Cheap Thrills Part 2

Boistered by my previous attempt at op-shopping I announced to my work collegues that I was going to find some cheap cute plates to brighten up our morning/afternoon teas. Previously we had been using paper plates or paper towels. Yes I know, not very environmentally friendly or classy! At Salvation Army Store in Phillip I found these for $2 each. So cute and dainty!

I love roses!

I was also going to bring in this plate to have as a work cake plate, but decided I couldn't give it up. I love that it is a little faded and worn. Someone has obviously served a lot of cake on it!!! It was $3. It will visit work from time to time as I am pretty much the only one who bakes which doesn't bother me as:

a) I love to bake

b) I really dont need to eat all the fruits of my labour

c) Everyone is really appreciative (even if my attempts are not very successful) and I can bask in the praise ;)

Onwards to St Vinnies in Phillip where I found these egg cups. Bring back nice egg cups I say!!

I only bought 2 as Mr Undomestic Goddess wont eat boiled eggs (and doesn't like to be reminded what eggs actually are....ovum anyone?)

How sweet and delicate is the design? So cute! They were $1 each.

I also got this scarf in a sheer chiffon silk for $2. I love the colours though it won't match anything I own. I am thinking of using it as a tablecloth over a plain white one??? Any thoughts?

On to Salvation Army Weston creek where I picked up this jaunty nautical (jauntical?) scarf for $1!! (But I gave a donation as well)

There were also a couple of trios (saucer, plate cup) there but they weren't in great condition and I wasn't fussed over the pattern. They were $10; tell em they're dreaming (uh-oh, Im getting cheap...)

Last stop St Vinnies Dickson where I got this quiche/flan/pie dish thingy for $5. I have been wanting to buy one for a while but haven't got around to it. Very old-school design and colour!!

I also got some little plain glass short stemmed dessert dish things which were a bit boring but I will feature them when I have made something to go in them.

Last of all, the best thing of the day was this necklace. Cool glam 70s/80s aesthetic?? It appears unworn as the tag was still on and informed me it was made by Barcs of Australia and was triple rhodium plated (did they find out that rhodium gives you cancer?? What the hell... it looks fantastic!)
