During one of my last thrift shopping trips, I found several things that I can use for Vintage Things Thursday, which made me quite happy. The thought of not participating with the vintage party goers..I don't want that to happen.
I will start off with an apron that is probably my least favorite apron of them all.
It's a deep blue with black patterned fabric...and a sort of metallic ricrac edging.
*sighs..shhhhhhhh, don't tell little apron and hurt it's feelings. Why didn't I leave it there you say????? You hafta know better than that...I couldn't just leave it there.
Next is watermelon potholders. My husband,having a momentary mean streak running through,had the nerve to ask me "Whatcha gonna do with those?? You don't cook anymore." Uuummmmm, the truth smarts sometime..*another sigh
Next,we have a mini cloche. I haven't a clue what it's original use was for...but all I saw was a cloche. Knowing I have a ton of small plates..I just had to have it. And the cheese dome a bit further down. I wasn't
the only shopper headed for it..but she was further away than me, and so it came home with me.
 The little plate I set it on,has these markings on the bottom:
J & G Meakin
England
Sterling
Pink Vine..* I also saw it listed as Red Vine
It has the most wonderful edgeing..kind of a scalloped edge..
I am hoping I can find something with a rose pattern..a small dessert plate for the mini...and I will be searching for a pretty one and the cheese dome as well. I think I would like to make one of the cake plates on the little stands..

  20. Cloches are wonderful things- They make their contents look far more interesting than they really are. I sold one at the shop that I regret now - But at least someone else will be enjoying it now.

  22. That little cheese dome makes a beautiful cloche on the Meakin dish. I love Meakin and have several sets of dishes by them.

    Thanks for linking to my Time Travel linky party.

    Hugs,
