I had to look these up. Turns out they are completely innocent and keep your banana from getting squished in your lunch.

Lotus Ware
This is an extremely rare set of bone china. Knowles Taylor and Knowles were known for hotel and restaurant style china dishes. When I was researching this company, it was so interesting. They only managed to make bone china for a few short years. They managed to win many awards though. It was arguably the finest bone china produced in America. Sadly they couldn't keep producing it because it cost so much more than what they made on it. During the firing process only 1 out 12 attempts were successful. They were still using the kilns that were made for their sturdy china. The delicate filigree couldn't hold up. Interesting history from an interesting company. Very early 1900s. ~1904
Awkward Shirt
There was an advertisement on the back for hemorrhoid removal. Everyone should wear shirts like this.
Free Sofa
We get junky sofas dumped off all the time. We put them out front for free. This picture is when your free sofa is worth more than your car.
Upcycled
After looking at the ridiculously over-priced plastic vanity choices, I decided to try making my daughter one with donations. The mirror was $3 and the night stand was $5.
Carpet!
We had a lovely company donate carpet and tile and labor to the thrift store. Donation of the year! Here are a few pictures.
Wolverine dollar
I found this in the cash register. I was delighted! I quickly took a picture then handed it out as change to spread the joy.

Chalk outline
My boss put this towel on the floor by my desk and warned me that is what happened to the last person that asked a question. He ended up buying it to use at the car shows when he took his cars. That should be effective paired with a do not touch sign.
Homemade Shoes
These are kind of cool. They remind me to be thankful I can go buy shoes and I don't have to make them out of whatever is available.

Piggy
So I usually wouldn't post about something like this but I found him in the fall stuff. I concluded that it was there because it is a representation of how we feel after thanksgiving dinner. Mmm pie.
