I've never seen those before, nice catch. I love Kliban cats but the stuff I see is usually pretty worn. When my sister & I were kids my aunt gave us Kliban Cat bedding so I always have a nostalgia for those items. The few nice Kliban things I have found were a coffee mug at the SA & a wastebasket at a yard sale both for 50 cents too.
I found some Kliban cat Christmas cards at a thrift for $1, 20 of them in an unopened pack. I still have them, hate to use them up. Jeannie |

I love the mug! Thanks for jogging my memory that is Salem's Biscayne pattern, enjoy using them!
By the way, how do you know so much about dishes? It's impressive! |

You don't find those everyday, I would have a hard time using them too. I use my vintage cards sparingly and only give them to people who appreciate them. |

By the way, how do you know so much about dishes? It's impressive! That is actually the basket, but I guess it is the same shape as a mug! I have bought & sold lots of dishes and kept several patterns too. That is one thing that seems to end up at thrifts & church sales is boxes of old dishes. I visit replacements.com to look up patterns all the time. Your Biscayne pattern is very popular though and I have seen people talk about it on other websites. A few people have mentioned it on this site in the past too. |

I was at an estate sale yesterday and hey had a box of the prettiest chine, while with some really pretty blue flowers on it. I really liked it but Jeez I already have 3 - 4 sets of china I don't use now. So it nearly killed me but I left it behind.
But I did buy the bowl with the birds on it. Well, can't expect me to give up everything.

Found the lamp shade a few months ago for $1. Found the lamp today at Goodwill half-price for $2.50. The shade must be made for a certain lamp, because it didn't fit the standard-size, so I had to rig it to sit on the lamp. I think I'm going to keep it at my desk at work.  |

I went to city-wide garage sales on Thursday, and this was the only thing I found worth posting. It's a wooden box/tote thingy. $1.00  I found some other little random things at a thrift store including a miniature Star Trek: TNG plate, and a "Herself the Elf" mug from the 80s. |

Went to GW on Tuesday and found aJessica McClintock gown for my DD. It didn't have a price tag on it. the cashier called the manager and she told her to let me have it for $7.99. I was so excited. My DD will be going to an 1860's ball in December so I will be on the look out for another gown that we can have taken apart and made into a 1860's ball gown.  |
