I wrote about these cups in my Epic Thrift Trip blog post. I resisted the cups then because I didn't need more coffee cups than mouths in my home (one set typically, occasionally two) but when I returned to the same thrift store and saw they were still there I couldn't resist. They will be sold on Etsy once I get all my stock organized.
I have another happy discovery from the weekend to share but I want to wait until it's properly displayed to write a post for it. If you follow my Thriftcore Twitter you might already know what it is. Can't wait to share it!
[Sneak Peek]
I will reveal three new super easy tutorials soon. I don't have the time for complex stuff, and I know you don't either! Planned posts have been canceled as my purging and organizing kicks have extended into the wee hours of the morning. I tried to resist any kind of living room reveal until its completion, but couldn't resist sharing a sneak peek:
More improvements will be made every day. Can't wait to reveal the whole thing (and maybe even the whole damn organized house!) next week. And I can't wait to sleep a full night when this is all over!
[Not Buying It] Yesterday I wrote about Going 1 Year Without Shopping, could you do it? With How Busy I am I can't squeeze this project in for long, but I'm confident I can last one month. I'll write about it so all can laugh at my pathetic shopping withdrawal symptoms.

you've got some fantastic pieces in your home, and i can't believe you got that wall hanging for a mere $5!
ReplyDeletei have a special place in my heart for mugs, but i know what you mean...more mugs than mouths. it's just too much. these mugs are a beautiful little find.
ReplyDeleteJeni- I love the patterns, their so happy and bright!
ReplyDeleteSarah- I wonder what the value on a thing like this could be, hmm..
Oooh! I have those same cups but in orange and red! Sold a couple in my shop, but kept some myself. They're my favorites!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures! I love your style
ReplyDeleteThose mugs are just lovely...

Brings back memories!

Those mugs are fab! Are you sure you'll be able to bring yourself to sell them? And I love that chart on the far right of the photo of your room!!!
ReplyDeleteI love those cups and really it'd be more appropriate to sell them in a group of three if they are Japanese. Traditional sake sets are aways in odd numbers, although using them to drink sake might result in very amusing things as they'd hold a lot! I don't know how you let all these treasures go. I'd be too tempted to horde them.
ReplyDeleteThat one wooden hanging looks almost like an Amish pattern :-)
