Collecting White....

Lately my thrifting adventures have led me to white....
Some fall right into my lap.  That white pitcher was a $2.99 Goodwill find.  The hobnail vase 99 cents at a thrift store.  The tea light holder on the right was $2.80 at Big Lots.  The vase on the left I got for 50 cents at Goodwill...
Lovely details but I was not crazy about the gold rim.  I mean look at those raised details....
I just used a white wash on the gold rim and now I love it...
Sometimes I find the right shape but not the right color...
A little spray paint fixes it right up...
Sooo much better!  So have you found any white treasures lately?

Love how you made them work together! Spray painting that vase made a big difference.

Everything you've found is so beautiful! I'm starting a white collection for my kitchen...sometimes it's hard to find just the right stuff but I never thought to spray paint something that is the wrong color but otherwise the perfect piece. I'll have to remember that the next time I'm thrifting!

Oh I love white and I have a hard time not bringing everything I see home. I like that spray paint too. Your finds are wonderful and such great prices. Hugs, Marty

Oh Oh Oh....I love that hobnail vase. :) I love that you thought to paint over the parts you don't like. Good job! Visiting from Rhoda's party. :)

Tons of beautiful white goodness!

I love white too! I am collecting white cake stands! Never thought about looking at goodwill! Thanks for the idea!

Great idea to spray paint the vase. Now they all look great together!

I like white, too. It's such a calming color I think. I like the vases! Good Will is such a great place to find vases. Great finds!

Wonderful white finds, Angie. I collect white stoneware, etc, too. Fun looking for different pieces and sometimes I happen upon them when I'm not even looking.

Beautiful collections- I love the doves! Super sweet!

Beautiful! I haven't found a lot of white, though I've been looking. I'm finding lots of toile.

Loving the white. Looks great.

How come I never thought to just spray paint something to make it "mine"?!?? Thanks for the inspiration. :)

I adore white!!! Love your collection there.

Here at the farm of mud and dust, white is not our first choice. You do make them look appealing. I like the raised details.

Those look great! I love the white, so clean and pure!
