Bargain Bonanza!

 Bargain Bonanza is my favorite thrift shop! Located in Clinton, Iowa, it is only about 20 minutes from my home (unless there's a train or traffic backed up on the bridge over the Mississippi). My deal I made with myself is this: take a load of donations and for a reward I may shop, but only purchase what I can carry out. I went yesterday and found $5.00 of treasures:


Had to have this little teapot. I won't break it for now. Instead I think I will hang it next spring with the hopes that a house wren will build her next inside. Not an original idea... Thank you Pinterest.


This little pot has the look of a sugar bowl, but is missing the lid. With a trip to Japan in my future, this little guy just spoke to me.


50 cents! I couldn't pass it up. Especially since it is blue. 


Really!?! A Norwegian souvenir! $1.00. 
I 💗Norway.


And last - a teacup from Japan. It ticks all the boxes!  Blue, Japanese, teacup, and the price was right! I'm thinking this will be for a moss project that is floating in my brain.
