<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FunkeysFinds, post: 194838, member: 83&quot;]Hi everyone!&nbsp; Hope folks are having a nice season full of finds and Holiday sales!&nbsp; We took this weekend off and headed down to Savannah, Georgia... we wanted to see what it looks like decorated at Christmas.&nbsp; We got in late last night and really don&#039;t know yet, but will be out and about soon.&nbsp; This morning, I&#039;ve been busy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I even got my other half to help me - which only happens on pickin&#039; emergencies!</p><p><br /></p><p>When driving down here, we were checking &#039;what to do&#039; this weekend and saw this was happening.&nbsp; OH MY.&nbsp; It turns out, it is happening literally across the street from our hotel.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.jrleaguesav.org/?nd=thrift_sale" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.jrleaguesav.org/?nd=thrift_sale" rel="nofollow">https://www.jrleaguesav.org/?nd=thrift_sale</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As this is a vacation and he agreed to help, I didn&#039;t want to drive him nuts and be there at 7:30, but we arrived at about 8:30.&nbsp;&nbsp; The thing is huge, about the size of a football field.&nbsp;&nbsp; Lots had sold, but still, I walked out with some great things after an hour and I appreciate his help.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have the ability for pics, but I found:</p><p><br /></p><p>One antique R.C. Versailles Cup and Saucer and one early Belleek Cup and Saucer - $5.00 each.&nbsp; I left a few others, but think I got the two best. </p><p><br /></p><p>A nice signed vintage Austrian enamelware trinket dish.&nbsp; I found the artist earlier, but forgot it already.&nbsp; Paid .50, seems the average price is about $30.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two different platters for $5.00 each. One is a Portmeirion Welsh Dresser 14&#039;&#039; Oval Steak Platter, which is a nice find.&nbsp; Also a large platter from Royal Worcester.&nbsp; Unfortunately, I can&#039;t remember the name of the set of dishes I purchased ($16.50) - vintage and European - and it is packed and on the bottom of everything.&nbsp; Includes platters, the gravy boat, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; Excellent shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some misc. &#039;bread and butter items&#039;.&nbsp; New Starbucks mugs, some out of stock Wedgwood mugs, one of the Kaj Franck Arabia cat pitchers ($3.50) - this has some minor damage, but will still make some nice profit.&nbsp; I saw this across the table and leaped like a ballerina.&nbsp;&nbsp; There may be a few other small things, but I just wanted to share my unexpected fun morning with the gang.&nbsp; Supposedly I get to go a thrift or two on this trip as well.&nbsp; I&#039;m just playing it cool... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>We love Savannah and it is one of the areas on our &#039;relocate&#039; list.&nbsp; We are ready to move (our final move - for us) and have started to seriously look.&nbsp; The spouse will transfer his job, so we have to wait until a matching position comes available in an area we like.&nbsp; Could be very quick or a year or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone eat too many cookies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
