Message:: [QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 1991937, member: 13874"]I jus' love my local thriftshop! That is MY designer and housewares go-to before I  drive anywhere else (used to, anyway, like fleas, yardsales in the good ol' days).Re Coffee Mugs: I once bought 4 Lenox White Linen Damasse mugs there. Priced at a whole buck each the sweet volunteer cashier apologized to me that they weren't priced at $0.10 as usual. I avowed to her that my purse probably could manage the huge markup. I have since tried for over 6 years to find more of them. Natch. N/A. Had one almost happening at an online auction once (not eBoo) but when it came time to ship the item "couldn't be found". No amount of begging them to look harder had any effect. I'm sure someone withdrew them fast, they are that rare apparently. One vintage replac. site did at one time, a long time ago, feature them at $39.95. Each. I passed then but have been unable to find any since. These cups are for me/us. We have our morning java in them every day, in bed. It's a tradition that wouldn't be the same without this lovely mug. Should any of you good ol' pals happen to want to part with any, do let me know? Am not ready to spend 40 bucks each though, have a heart.[/QUOTE]
