I didn't feel like doing anything productive today so it seemed that a trip to Goodwill was in order. I was so bummed that I didn't find any Pyrex there that I did something that I never do....I went to the Salvation Army. Since the Salvation Army closest to me built a nice new big store they tend to overprice everything and I don't go there. I was glad I did though. I got this perfect condition Butterfly Gold gravy boat and saucer. My little collection is slowly growing. :-)
Since the Goodwill store near my house has been spoiling me with $3.25 for 4 quart bowls and $12.25 for a four piece set of bowls, I was a little unhappy about the $7.00 price tag on this set. I'm not sure if that is good price or a high price but I wanted it.
So cute. I saw a "blue onion" boat without it's tray in a shop for $10 last week. Had to pass even though I would like a gravy boat someday. I think $7 is a good deal!

If you love it, don't worry about paying what may seem like high for a thrift store. The gravy boat and drip plates are really hard to come by in sets here. I think you found something awesome!

That is a good price! They are really nice gravy boats and like Erica said, they're hard to come by with the under plate and the boat together.
ReplyDeleteHappy hunting. :)

Wow! I found a butterfly gold sugar, creamer, gravy boat and saucer for 3.99 once-- yes, for all!! so glad i bought it even tho i dont collect that color! Its adorable though :)
ReplyDeleteOh good. I'm glad it was a good price and I think it's a beautifully made gravy boat.
ReplyDeleteThat's not to bad a price.
ReplyDeleteAlways remember this when you think something is too expensive or are just unsure, everybody deserves to splurge & spoil themselves every once in awhile. & who knows? I might never see it again...
I've actually NEVER seen a gravy boat WITHOUT the underplate.
