i was SO stoked to find my very first butterprint piece! well, that's not exactly totally true. i did find two piece several weeks ago but the pattern was so worn off that it wasn't worth $3 that they cost. but, today it was worth it! the bowl has been used and loved and has some scuff marks (must figure out a good way to get them out!) but the pattern is still fairly bright and bold!

i was also lucky to find a butterfly gold butter dish! it was stacked among some old tea cups and anniversary sets in the rick-rack section of the thrift store but i found it and grabbed it! it is in really good condition as well and was only $3.50. you know me, when it comes to butterfly gold, i'll pay anything for a piece of it. :)

just a snippet of my butterfly gold collection--the iPhone camera lens can only show so much. :)
what patterns would you pay anything for if you saw them? what's the most expensive price you've ever paid because you couldn't leave the dish behind?

Anything I haven't seen before (rare promotionals, etc) I have to buy if I see them. And Autumn Harvest is my weakness! I just sold a butterfly gold butter dish on eBay last week, it only went for $1. Sad for me, but glad you found one :)
ReplyDeleteAt a thrift store? $14.99 for blue New Dots. Had too.
ReplyDelete$15 for a pink 404 to complete a set, couldn`t leave it. $15 off Craigslist for a Friendship casserole.
I wouldn`t pay anything for my favourite patterns - I have some limits. $69 for that delphite 502? PASS!
Early on I way overpaid! $20 for one solid blue large cinderella bowl (antique store). I still paid a good amount for my butterpriny cinderellas ($50 I think) but I loveeeee them.
ReplyDeleteThe lowest I've paid is 50cents for a pearl divided casserole, and $1 for other divideds. My best score? My free mixing bowls from my gramma :)
I wouldn't pay anything, but I'd surely pay more for peices that have been haunting me- I want an atomic utility/spacesaver!
