tale of a lonely saucer ..



a few weeks ago i found this lonely little saucer in the local charity(thrift) shop
I just couldn't resist it and it was only 10p
So even if the children used it as a painting saucer or the cats used it for water
it would be ok !

So i brought it home in the pocket of my bag
washed and cleaned it and popped it in the window .


So today i dropped in for a chat and mooch in the same shop
the ladies that work on a Friday are fab and make me chuckle !
They kind of know my taste in collecting those odd sad little bits and pieces but they did roll their eyes when i picked up this sad little teacup !



So in my bag it went along with a little glass dish with slightly worn flowers painted on !

Now imagine my surprise when i got them home and washed to find out that the little teacup was a perfect match for that sad little saucer


.. happy smiles all round xx

Tis meant to be. I am a firm believer that I find things because "someone" knows I will love and cherish them.
I LOVE Thrifty xx
