Thanks for tuning in to another episode of My Weekend Finds, the continuing saga of one girl's quest for more junk!When I stop in at our local Goodwill, I always try to have very low expectations. That way, on the rare occasion that I actually do find something good, I am pleasantly surprised!
Case in point: The other day I stopped in, and it was as if a beam of light was emanating from these Fire King mugs. I could have spotted them a mile away!
I also found TWO of these old mug holders.
I ask you: Who doesn't need extra cupboard space?!
I couldn't resist these little bowls, which are just perfect for a little fruity snack. I remember my Mom had coffee cups with those same pink flowers on them, but she assures me that those cups are long gone. Darn!
I now have two of these jadeite reamers, and I'm that much closer to having an actual collection. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Not really though, because you know that if you touch your daughter's lemons that she bought with her very own money, there will be trouble....
And last, these four Fire King plates, all taped together with a $2.99 price tag on them. Don't they know that I would have paid much more for them?!
Oh Fire King, I've been so misguided and sold many pieces of you, but you always come back and give me another chance. Fire King, this time you're for keeps!

Those mug holders are just adorable, and green! Great prices for the jadeite, I am green with envy.
Wow! What a score. So much jadeite goodness in one place? Lucky, lucky day. Enjoy.
Now THAT is a great score! Love the jadeite plates. Now I want to go to Goodwill...
Love the mug holders. - that's something really different!
Coffee cups fit for a KING! You are one lucky gal finding all your goodies!
I have Holly in my life collecting up her Pyrex and dotty goodies and you going green on me.
What's next? Gnomes?
Oh! Lucky you! My mom had cups like that! They are on my wish list! I always forget about them though because I only see them online. Maybe I'll find some at the Farm Chicks show. ♥
I just found your blog, and I am your newest follower. I love it! I looked at your profile briefly and wow, I am a domestic goddess too, so I had to join! I love your finds antiquing this weekend, and I did the same thing. See, spooky, we are alike! I really found some great things too. I'm excited for both of us!
It's so nice to meet you! I'm looking forward to having some time to go through your blog.

Super great finds!! That saying on the cup holder is so adorable! I went thrifting and flea-marketing myself this weekend...so much fun! Have a marvelous Monday! Deanna
Oh...My...Goodness. Jadite at a thrift store? Not in any place here. If there were, they would of been snatched before being set out. I have never found anything close to that good at a thrift store.
I LOVE those cup holders. I would of had to have those, too!
I am so glad for you for finding some great bargins!!
REALLY?! At the thrift store? Oh you lucky gal you.... one of my local thrift stores has a jadeite coffee mug but they want 9.99 for it! And I've never seen the cup holders before, too cute :)

Oh, that is so not fair! I wish I could just score on one of those items! You are so blessed! Wow, gotta love it. I very happy for you and your finds making it into such a nice new home!
Blessings,

Love the mug holders..and that rhyme...icing on the cake!
Oh such lovely Jadeite finds!! I must say that mug holder is really priceless. Happy Monday. hugs, Linda
You really did hit the jackpot this time! Your Gay Fad Peach Blossom Custards are simply adorable.
I shopped at 5 Goodwills this weekend (as it was 50% off all day Saturday) and I'm so jealous you found those, and I didn't! But I did score some other good stuff!! :)
Wow! What a great score! I was searching for Jadeite for my sister for Christmas and was blown away by the huge price tags! And I absolutely LOVE that mug holder!
Blessings

GREAT finds!! Our Goodwill would NEVER have jadeite. They put them online for auction. I have found a few gems in the past, but never anything like Jadeite!!! Great score!

I'm green with envy too. All your latest additions are absolutely perfect. You are one lucky lucky lady.
Hooray for you! I've sold some things and wished I hadn't! Very cool cup holders! I'm STILL not "shopping"...so I'll enjoy your treasures!
Warmly,

Lovin' the Jadeite, such a perk-me-up for the winter months-enjoy:@)
I cannot believe you found these goodies...Amazing. I gave my jadeite to my mother years ago. She proudly uses it daily in her kitchen. Smiles...Renee
Love the jadeite but that cup holder is mighty fine!!! What a great weekend you had! Sandie
That's one boatload of Jadeite! Now that you know what it's like to live without it, don't ever let that happen again! (Two of those reamers? Seriously?)
What a DEAL!! Our GW would charge more than an antique store for those. I think the mug holders are just wonderful.
Annette
Your had quite a bonanza this weekend. Love the green jadite and FireKing.
OMD! OMD! OMD! (that means "Oh my dishes! Oh my dishes! Oh my dishes!") Waaaaaaay exciting finds. You always find such fun things, but this time....well those all go straight to my collectin' heart and that heart is pretty envious. Fantastic finds!
Love all your finds! Our Good Will has nothing but 80's stuff. You have the best estate sales too!
Oh my! My Daddy drank his coffee out of a mug like that! What great finds! ♥
Wonderful finds! I love Fire King!!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Oh wonderful finds and I love that cup holder. So funky and nostalgic.
Love, love your finds! The saying on the mug holder is so cute. I do not have any Jadite or Fire King but I sure do like it. Enjoy those keepers!
