Rhoda at http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com/ just started a fun Monday post called Today's Thrifty Treasures. I love this idea, I love to yard sale and find a treasure for little money. In my neck of the woods it is bulk pickup time and my treasure for this week is the beautiful creamer and teapot that I found in the trash!! I previously purchased the platter and was waiting to find a pot but who would have thought I would find one in the garbage.What is another man's trash has certainly become my treasure. Mary

Ok, wow! My goodness, I can't believe anyone threw something beautiful away! Great job at finding it!
Thank you for visiting and leaving a great comment. Visit anytime!
I can't believe you found that in the trash! Amazing!
About the glass garden totems..here's the link to photos on my blog. They are super easy, a great way to recycle old glass dishes, vases, etc.

Mary, what a find!!! I can't belive someone just threw that in the trash either. You lucky duck you. Thanks for playing along.
Hard to believe anyone would cast those beauties off!
Fabulous find!
That is some amazing "trash." That is so exciting!
Mary - it was SO great to hear from you and a pleasure to meet you here in Blogland. I can't wait to go back and look through your blog - I will be following you for sure! Love that silver tea set! Great score. Enjoy the rest of your week! ~Kim
Mary, you cleaned and polished it! Very nice before and after. Now why would they throw something like that n the first place?Good thing you have an eye for transforming things

Why would anybody throw that out? I'm can't believe it, you actually got it free. You lucky girl! I have several coffee and tea sets in gold. One of these days I"ll probably get rid of one, but I'm not going to throw it away. So don't even think about picking in my garbage. Ha ha YOU ARE GOOD!
Take Care-
