Thrift Store Shopping

Recently, I stopped by our (somewhat) local Salvation Army to drop off some donations and to also peruse what I told my kids was

"an indoor yard sale."

I picked up this.

 And this. (Look at those three cute kids on the fence!)

 And this.

 But I am not entirely sure why. I don't drink tea. I don't have any empty cabinets in the kitchen. Hmmm. I think in the back of my mind I was dreaming about pincushions for the teacups. I was also just admiring the artistry of the China. China! 

Overhead at the store: "Geez, this is someone's full China set."

"(Low whistle.) Probably wedding gifts."

And I thought, Aw, how sad. But so generous too!

Not sure what I'll do with it all. Right now I'm casting long glances at my mismatched set as I walk around the kitchen, thinking, mulling things over, hoping to get inspired, but not in a rush to do so. Happy just to have found them for now.
What would YOU do with these items?? (Aside from never buying them in the first place, of course!)
