Red Alarm! Finds and Booth Additions

Being on the road a lot last week meant many opportunities to do some looking in resale and thrift shops. So of course I looked. And found. Here's some of what I found last week:

A good, but not yard-sale good, price on these white swirl mixing bowls. I have wanted some of these for a long time and finally found some in my price range. I've sorted through my other mixing bowls to make space for these two. I have this memory, perhaps from childhood, perhaps not, of applesauce spicy and warm in a bowl like this and have wanted to have one to put applesauce in ever since. Now I have two.

This cutting board intrigued me. I found it in Morgantown, WV. I suppose someone brought it home from Germany? Or is it Swiss? Or maybe it came from the Pennsylvania Dutch country.

Isn't this bowl gorgeous? Found this one in Sistersville last weekend. The color is rich and the quality of the glass is excellent. I wonder if it's Blenko? I searched for one like it online but did not find anything. If you know who the maker might be, let me know.

I just loved this red Baby Ben travel alarm clock. It works great. It's in perfect condition, just needs a bit of cleaning up. At less than $1, I felt like I'd won a major score with this one.

These platters were my real deal of the week, I believe. This pattern seems to be rare and popular. Made by a company called Tepco, it's restaurantware and quite heavy. The bowls are a pattern called pretzel and aren't really valuable but I have several pieces and plan to put them all in my booth as a set. The platters are on eBay and two have already sold at my rather high (I thought) Buy It Now price.

Bright and cheerful Lemon Heritage items were sold by Sears as part of a dinnerware set. I was tempted to keep them but went ahead and listed them because honestly, I have nowhere to put them. I do love yellow, though.

I found this Anchor Hocking bubble pattern berry set for a real song. The luster of the marigold iridized finish is really something. I've listed this on eBay but it may end up in my booth if it doesn't sell.

In my booth, green has sprouted. I stopped in today on my way home and it seemed like a few of these things were gone from the display. I added rabbits here and there along with the green to add a touch of springtime.

I made a few other changes in my booth too--I carried in 3 boxes full of stuff and there is still room for more. In this area the additions were the aqua kerosene lamp with a clear shade that has gold flowers in it, a lot of jewelry and a stack of plates, along with the Air Force clock and the amber hanging candle holder and a small oval braided rug.  Several things were gone when I stopped today so I rearranged again. I'll go back later this week to add new items.

That's a bit of what I found. How about you? Anything interesting this week?
