Second hand store finds

I've found some goodies lately at our local second-hand stores. We have a Goodwill, which is a very nice and clean store, and several Salvation Army locations, and also a Habitat for Humanity Restore, which sells used housing fixtures along with the usual stuff, but no clothing. I like to shop there, as the proceeds go to helping people have homes of their own. I'm very grateful to have our home and would like to see others have the same advantage. The following items came mostly from the Habitat store.

I absolutely love the little serving bowl. It literally looks like someone laid a white lace doily in it; so dainty and pretty. The purse frame will be part of a CQ experiment at some point, as it came with no directions for use. I can probably find some online. And the old frame has a convex glass in it which currently holds a real butterfly and flower arrangement. Not sure what's going to happen with that....


These are hankies with cute motifs on the corners.

And the hankies above and below I bought for the tatted or crocheted or lacy edges.

That serving bowl is fabulous. I have a collection of vintage white platters of all sizes and use them constantly... Your bowl would feel right at home at my house...
