Due to uncertainty about the weather this weekend and into the next week, we have decided to reschedule tomorrow and Monday’s shows. There is a strong possibility we will lose power for several days and/or be unable to get to the post office. We will see you next Saturday when we will have back to back shows.

Anyone else using their bubble wrap supplies to insulate their windows for the storm this weekend, or is it just me?

I had to go to my daughters school today and decided to pop in to my favorite thrift shop before I went back to work. The thrift gods were smiling on me today! 💕

I found this carnival glass candle holder, this Homer Laughlin creamer and sugar bowl set, five of the Depression Ware custard cups, a creamer in the same pattern and the other items pictured.

Since today seems to be North Carolina History Day, here’s an authentic piece of North Carolina Folk Art!

Here are a few quick facts about this find:
• The Maker: Handcrafted by DK Clay Pottery Studio.
• The Markings: It’s clearly stamped on the bottom with "NC" and the year "84," making it a 42-year-old piece of local history!
• The Design: Features a hand-painted blue pineapple—the traditional symbol of hospitality and welcome.
• The Style: Classic 1980s utilitarian art. It’s sturdy, functional stoneware that doubles as a beautiful decorative piece.
I love finding local pieces like this that have so much character. It’s a great little slice of NC craftsmanship!

I had fun sharing finds yesterday, so I thought I’d share a couple more today. This is a Staffordshire pitcher we found in an auction mystery box last year. Here’s a provenance drafted with the help of Microsoft Copilot.

Commissioned by Wake Chapel Christian Church for its 2006 sesquicentennial (150th) celebration and produced in limited quantities by Staffordshire Ware in England. Distributed locally to commemorate the anniversary; not sold commercially. This example later entered private ownership through undocumented channels; earlier ownership history is unknown.

A lovely collectible for fans of Staffordshire ceramics, church history, or North Carolina memorabilia.

I’ll be listing this to my eBay shop later today!

This plate was in an auction “mystery box”. When we pulled it out, it looked a little worse for wear, but a gentle bath with a little bit of Dawn and it is looking good as new! An interesting piece for Wedgewood collectors, this plate is given to distinguished scientists “from time to time” by Dickinson College, making it fairly rare. How it ended up in an auction mystery box in rural North Carolina, I will never know! I think I am drawn to resell and collecting because I am constantly learning a little bit more about our history.

Anyway, here’s a brief provenance drafted with the help of Microsoft Copilot:

Produced by Wedgwood for Dickinson College as part of the Joseph Priestley Award tradition, first established in 1952 to honor distinguished scientists. The specific award recipient associated with this plate is not documented. Based on its backstamp and design elements, the piece is identifiable as an official issue created in collaboration with the Society of the Descendants of Joseph Priestley. The plate subsequently entered private ownership through undocumented channels; earlier ownership history remains unknown.

We get a lot of comments every time we post the tea cup and saucer in the first picture. We picked up a whole box of this china at an auction last year because we liked the pattern. We decided to learn more and here is a brief provenance, written with assistance from Microsoft Copilot (but rings true based on my research):

This fine porcelain china set was retailed by the Harlem Crockery Company, located at 25 West 125th Street in Harlem, New York City, circa 1895–1915. The set features a central floral motif and ornate 22-karat gold filigree trim, typical of American-decorated imported whiteware from the turn of the 20th century. The absence of a country-of-origin mark and the use of “Warranted 22kt. Gold” suggest the pieces were imported as blanks—likely from Bavaria or Limoges—and decorated locally for sale through Harlem Crockery Co., a small retailer serving the growing middle-class community in early 20th-century Harlem. The inclusion of finger bowls and the overall style reflect formal Victorian and Edwardian table settings. This set remains a rare and elegant example of urban American china retailing during a transformative period in Harlem’s cultural and commercial history.

Pretty cool, huh? If anyone has any more information about this company or pattern, please let me know in the comments!

I had the best luck at the Durham Rescue Mission. I found a pair of mid century decorative vase, some 90’s vintage Corning Ware bowls I am seriously debating on whether to keep for myself, an interesting pottery piece, a vintage soap dish, and a stack of Pfaltzgraff Tea Rose salad plates.
