By now, you know that I almost exclusively shop for homegoods at thrift shops. Half the time, I feel badly sharing my thrifted purchases on A Daily Something, because I can’t link to a shop where you can find the exact item. But, that’s half the fun of thrifting – finding unexpected, one-of-a-kind treasures (at affordable prices)! And I really hope that my adventures in thrifting inspire you to go out and shop your local thrift shops with an open mind!

These black pottery bowls are my favorite serving dishes. Our day-to-day dinnerware is white which means they “go” with virtually anything, so I love adding different layers, textures, and colors to the table at each meal using thrifted linens, flatware, assorted glasses, and serving dishes. These pottery pieces sit on my open shelf in the kitchen, just waiting to be grabbed to serve salad, bread, pasta, chopped veggies, etc. They work for anything (and I especially love the contrast of green leaves in the black bowl). The largest bowl is vintage (made in 1960) and weighs about 50 lbs (and was the most expensive at $15…but compared to new prices AND the fact that it’s vintage, it was a steal!). The other two were $3 and $1.50.

Here’s where I found my black pottery treasures:
large: Re-Love It
medium: Leesburg Salvation Army
small: Purcellville Blue Ridge Hospice Thrift Shop

Happy thrifting, friends!
