Back in in Minneapolis I hardly would have called a full day of thrifting successful if all I brought home was a pair of Casual China dinner plates and a single dessert plate. I'm singing a different tune now! With this being my first real thrift purchase since moving to central Illinois — where I'm happy when I simply see anything interesting in a thrift store — I'm thrilled with it being something I'll use on a daily basis. Bloomington, about a 45 minute drive from my home, seems like it will be a fairly promising hunting ground in the future, and I plan on visiting again soon. Hopefully this is just the beginning of an upswing in the quantity and quality of finds in the area!

Found on November 11, 2006 in Bloomington, IL.
