White Creamware

Since there are so many of us who love the bargains of yardsales and thrifting, I thought it would be fun to share our finds every Monday, so for the next few Mondays (don’t know how long we’ll go), I’m going to put up Mr. Linky and all of you who have been out hunting the bargains can share with everyone what you found. I go yardsaling most every weekend and sometimes I find several great things and sometimes just a few little things, but I’ll be sharing my finds too and showing you what I do with them. I have to be very selective these days, since when something comes into my house, another thing needs to go out. We’ll call it Today’s Thrifty Treasures, so join me here every Monday and I’ll do this at least for the next few weeks if everyone enjoys it. Grab the button for your blog and be sure to link back to my blog too, so everyone can participate. Spread the word!

Edited to add: OK, Ladies! I’m going to have to do a little tutorial on how to play with Mr. Linky. Once your post is done, click on the title & you will see a long address in your browser box. COPY THAT url and post into the Mr. Linky box, since THAT post will be permanent in the links and months from now, someone can click on your link and find your post. Don’t just paste your BLOG url, but the actual post url. Got it, OK good?! I just had to go change a bunch of the links to the actual post.

And just to be fair with this, please post a link BACK here to my blog telling your readers about the party every week when you participate (whether you post my button or not). So now you know how it all works from week to week. Thanks so much!

Even though my collection is not expensive ironstone (I wish!), which is out of my budget for the most part, I just can’t seem to get enough of this white creamware and my eyes are constantly on the lookout for bargains at the yardsales. And luckily, I seem to score pretty often on it too. Found this pretty soup tureen, which has become one of my favorite things to collect in white, recently at a yardsale for $8. A steal! It’s nice and large too.

It’s a nice addition to the sideboard. The bunny tureen adds just a bit of color in here too.

Ahhh, it’s so pretty, I could just stare at it awhile.

Never get tired of the creamy white dishes.


I just started my collection in January of last year and just love how it all goes together, with the varied white and creamy tones.



OK, what did YOU find over the weekend? Anything exciting? Do share the treasures. Just add your permalink to Mr. Linky AND add a link back to this post so your readers can join the party too.

    I am so excited about Thrifty Treasures! I am an avid Yard Sale Geek and I thought that I could look at just a few posts and move on…no, I had to look at every treasure listed! When you are addicted to frugalness, it is too exciting to pass up seeing what everyon else found:)

    How fun this is going to be! I got some nice things this past week at yard sales, I simply haven’t had time to photo them. Carolyn and I started decorating our shop today, and it took hours. I’m too exhausted to participate now, but hope to join in next week. Thanks for the fun idea Rhoda. ♥

    Rhoda- thanks for the burplap advise- I have some on hand- so Im thiking of trying it out. I hope the spray paint I spraying INSIDE the shade doesnt show through the fabric. I really goofed on this one-but hey for 5 bucks you can take risk like that. So excited about doing more of these on Mondays! thanks for hosting! Your such a blessing & inspiration! My IRL friend Kristen @ WeareTHATfamily said she met you at the blog conference & said you were as sweet as we all thought you were! She loved ya!

    Hi Rhoda, I posted my yard sale finds and linked back to your blog. Thanks for hosting. I can’t believe that in my decluttering years I gave away two white soup tureens! After seeing yours I will have to scope some out at yard sales. Have a great day.

    Rhoda,

    I love your soup tureen. It looks fabulous on the buffet. You have such a beautiful collection. $8.00–what a great deal!

    I linked up with you. Had some recent finds to share and a party is always fun! After the kiddos are in bed, I look forward to looking to see what everyone has found. Thank you for hosting.

    Victoria has recently found
    something fabulous for her media center. She is in the midst of having some rooms painted, but maybe she can get it up for next week.

    Beautiful pieces. Great post. My aunt is an interior decorator in Florida and I have to share your amazing site with her. Very well done.

    That ironstone tureen is so pretty, and I love that it can be used with any tablescape. Such a classic look. laurie
