Hey there friends. I hope the day started off great for you. Between Day Light Savings Time and insomnia, I woke up feeling gloomy. After getting dressed, I did some mediation followed by a cup of tea and those two things helped me refocus and re-energize.
I’ve meditated on and off over the years but after getting away from it I’m trying hard to make it a daily practice. It really does make a difference in how I manage my day and most importantly how I feel. If you’ve never tried mediation, here’s a great article that outlines 8 Way Meditation Can Improve Your Life.
Now on to the fun stuff…
Over the weekend I did sneak in some time to hit up one of my favorite antique stores. I haven’t had time to go antique shopping lately so I took my time walking the aisles of the store. Here are a few things I found.

The last few months, I’ve been selling lots of Ironstone in my Etsy shop so I’m on the hunt for some new pieces. This sugar jar was a great find and I love the design.
I already own one of these mini blue and white garden stools so this one will go in my shop. It would look great on bookshelf as a bookend.
The pattern on this creamer grabbed my attention and I love the design of the handle.
This large blue and white floral pitcher was just sitting in the corner waiting for me. Sell or not to sell…that is the question?
I purchased a similar elephant the last time I was in Oklahoma for my Etsy shop so I didn’t hesitate when I saw this one. I’m going to keep it and use it as a perch to hold a plant or stack of books.
Did anyone else go thrifting over the weekend and if so, what did you find?
GREAT finds. LOVE the pitcher with the curly blue handle. Is the sugar jar Pfaltzgraff? It looks like a whole set I used to have and passed along to my daughter. Can’t remember the pattern name.
Hi Susan,
Thanks for stopping by the blog today. The sugar jar is actually a English ironstone piece.

Great read on the meditation! TFS. Great finds. I did not intend to go thrifting but by luck found a beautiful silver tray. Sometimes being spontaneous is a good thing. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by the blog Linda.
You found some really good stuff. I love the blue and white. It’s always a treat to luck up on these pieces and this elephant is a keeper. Now to read the meditation article. I could use some.
